Rick, I think that the issue is our sys:action form is not deleting it's records. When patch 8 runs it tries and install the patch and look through 800,000 records to delete 10 and the processor cannot take it. For some reason the records on sys:action are not being deleted when they should. Has anyone ever ran into that. We have about 800,000 records on that form and there should not be that many.

Then you can look at the actual actions therein to see what it's trying to do and know how to help it get done.

The errors are not as severe as they sound, but it does take WAY more time than necessary. It should be using the API call that contains a query (see the API manual for the exact name - something like Application-Delete-Query). That runs through the form ONCE. However, since you probably can't alter their install procedures, the better course is to figure out what it's trying to do and do it before it gets there; i.e. if it's trying to remove some rows from SYS:Action, make sure that form is free of deletable records before it makes it's call. That at least will make the call process less slowly.

I think what's happening is that there's one or the other that's deleting a bunch of entries from a form, and it's getting hung up, like an Escalation that ties up a thread or a DB timeout or something. If you can track down the form that's in the delete command, maybe you could just do the delete manually and see if that frees up the rest of the install.

The second time we let it run for about 20 hours and it still never finished. The actually logs are not getting updated either, like the patch logs. The second time it took me only about 3 mins to get to 85% and then it just stopped.

If you are still actively getting logs, it is probably just busy doing something (and failing) and not hung up. How long did you wait? It could take hours depending on the systems and their power and speed. I haven't applied patch 8 myself (recently applied patch 7), this is just some patching experience on a number of products.
