Re: Prod problem, please help!!!

Hi,
It has been confirmed that we are not running out of space due to the archiver.

My initial stab in the dark is that if this DB is in archive mode, that the archiver process could be halting additional transactions due to lack of space in the archive destination.

This week it was #41 and last week it was #25. Normally, we do not exceed 5 shared
