Trashing Assets


#1

Hi Guys,

 

We have a feww hundred users that work within the CMS. At any time they could be moving assets to the trash. Is it possible for multiple users to link to the trash?

 

If a users is trashing a large amunt of assets they seem to tie up the trash and when another user tries to trash the hipo lags.

 

thoughts?

We are encountering the same problem.
When the asset is being deleted, the lock is held on the trash asset by the user who is deleting an asset.  Other users trying to delete other assets will have to wait until the 1st deletion process has finished. We have encountered problems when at times the deletion process takes quite some time to complete or the hipo jobs stalls (lock is not release), resulting that no one is able to delete an assets.

Help/suggestion on how one could solve this problem would be appreciated.

 

Thank you

Dorian

One thing that might (?) work for you guys is running deletions via the cron. Use the linking screen to remove the links, and the "next run" button so the deletion will actually occur during the next cron run.

 

Only thing I can see going wrong is if you have a whole bunch of jobs pile up in there then you might end up deadlocking your cron.
