The activation state cache could not be updated.

Question

 

I have a remote deployment of NS, one node hosts all the notification stuff ( generator , distributor, ect..) and I have the DB on another node.

 

All seems to work well, I have one instance and 20 applications.

 

However in the application event  viewer I get one of these warnings (although it looks like an error) about once an hour from a different application each hour.

 

The thing is I am sure the SQL server is correct because notification are sent out and show up in the database.

Answer 5

Hi,

Just wondering if you ever got an answer to the post above?

I'm doing some performance testing on NS.  I have two applications, one of which has 500,000 subscriptions which is being increased by 10,000 on an hourly basis, over a four hour period.

Approx 9 hours after the test has started I receive the message in the previous post in the event log for both applications.  It appears that NS carries on Generating and Distributing Notifications following this error.

It occurred once and didn't occur again although, Notifications finished generating within the following hour.

Any help appreciated.
