[Spacewalk-list] ? Failures Cloning Channels with spacewalk-manage-channel-lifecycle

[Boyd, Robert]

I'm happy to report that after waiting a few days and letting the monthly cleanup /tuning jobs run on my spacewalk master server, the cloning process is working for all of the channels that were failing.

I suspect that a previous monthly job didn't complete properly due to running out of memory and left something problematic behind somewhere.  

I managed to clone 3 channel groups this morning without a hiccough much to my relief.   Just in time for the beginning of our patch cycle this quarter.

Here's some additional info about one of the failure modes I'm seeing.  I kept cranking up the memory limits until I now have the limits at default =4192 max=16388.   Some channels are handled ok by this tool now.   

Others fail pretty quickly while clearing the first target channel.
