The sites have been more stable with the additional server seeding the pubApp caches. We were able to ingest articles today without taking the sites down and have had only 15 minutes of restart/downtime today (don’t mention that there are still 6.5 hours left in the day).

Russ applied a few patches but rather than solving problems, they uncovered more mysteries. But we now have a way to clear a single article cache without clearing all caches. Previously we would have had to clear the cache for all articles to re-ingest an article. This will be a significant help performance as we only need to clear a small number of caches rather than hundreds (which would take hours to re-fill).

More tomorrow....
