It's been quite awhile since I've done a release of
exponents
that seem to be stuck - probably over a year.
I've identified 185 exponents that have had NO progress
reported and are
either:
a) Below 12,000,000 and been assigned for 200 days or
more, or
b) Between 12 and 20 million and been assigned for 300
days or more
Does anyone see any problems with releasing these
exponents back into
the pool?
Hi George!
I don't really understand the question. If these 185
assignments have made NO progress in a year why didn't they expire in
about 60 days automaticly? I've seen this expiring happen to some of my
machines - no problem - 6n days of inactivity and they dies at my
account.
Do you by NO progress mean close to NO progress?
I would like to have an email informing me about a short
period of time to get that machine up and running again. I don't have
any reason for postponing any milestone, so my answer could as well be:
"I know that machine died after many years of work so please expire all
the work assigned to machine: xyzxyzxx."
With approx. 70 machines and only me to support them I
would just like to be warned.
br tsc
and let us soon find another gem!
