Jobs stuck in queue

jeneir — Mon, 05 Oct 2020 06:35:04 GMT

This morning all my schedules was queued and blinking red in 'Workflow results'. No other process running.

Error: "The original worker assignment this execution was created with appears to be offline. It will not be executed until the assigned worker becomes available again."

Any idea what this means?

The assigned worker is Unassigned on all schedules and are usually working normal. Can queue get stuck if the server is down?

Server version: 2019.3.5.17947

@jeneir how many workers do you have?

Yes, although rare they can get stuck in queue. However, this particular error message is new to me.

Think there was some kind of server issue. it got fixed somehow.

[EDIT] - The server was busy with a huge load that took all the resources.

This is a problem because in Alteryx Server only flows shared with you are visible, and people can schedule their own flows when they want.

Wish there were better scheduling control in the Server software.
