Craig:

I'm a little late to the party here, but...

One thing I'd recommend is: after arreload is finished running on the users, to 
run it against the groups again.  Back in the olden days (pre-ARS 5.x), one of 
the projects I worked on had lots of problems with the user cache getting out 
of sync, and we always fixed it by running arreload -g...; arreload -u...; 
arreload -g...

FWIW,
--Phil

** 
We’re using the Customer Support application which requires a contact record 
(and account) be associated with the issue.  We allow the public to submit 
questions to us on the web site with a restricted read license so these 
generate accounts in the user form and contacts with all of the associated info 
for the issue.  It works well since the agent has all of the customer 
information but it does end up creating a lot of extra accounts.  We also 
pre-created 300K contacts when we first stood up the system for the most likely 
callers (out of about 1 million) so agents wouldn’t have to create the contacts 
from scratch when they called.  After about 3 years, we deleted those that were 
never used but we still have 240K based on those and new ones agents have 
created.  Can you say “fetch-user-group-info-on demand” ?  :o)
 
Well, I can confirm the –f option deletes the old content.  Unfortunately, I 
made the mistake of trying to do groups and users at the same time and it 
messed up reloading the cache after clearing it and I had to use arcache to get 
back in.  I’ve restarted by doing groups first (finishes fast) and I’m now 
doing users.  It reads the whole user form first before clearing the cache so 
the wait time is based on the number of records in your user form and not the 
cached record count.
 
Learn something new every day—guess it’s all good and here is an example of 
where direct SQL updates can be problematic.  It did give me a chance to purge 
all of the licenses while I was waiting…  still waiting… still waiting…

about the only thing I can think of that would be uglier would be managing over 
200K in user accounts...:)
