Thanks Enio and John,

Turns out it was a combination of the lock row being present due to a previously broken process, and the current_accessid missing which had caused some double counting of stats, hence the rebuild.  Glad not to have to do that again any time soon! (and to have learned something new about IRStats2)

Cheers,

Alan

Hi Alan,
 first, you should be careful not to have another active irstats2 process then connect to the mysql database to see if the lock exists:
  select value from irstats2_internal where objectid='access.lock';

If lock exists you may try to delete the row:
  delete from irstats2_internal where objectid='access.lock';

Hi all,

I’m trying to update the stats on our new servers but every time I run the job I get the message

 

Dataset 'access' is currently locked by another process.

 

Any clues what might be locking it – I’m rather confused now.

 

Alan
