Error description
On rare occasions a shipping_server (sender) may hang, and never complete. It does this after sending its data, but before logging success to the local shipping_server_log. The completion of the data transfer is logged at the receiving site. The hung process could have been initiated by any of shipping_server -poll mkorder -fship syncreplica -export -fship mkreplica -export -fship When this occurs as part of a scheduled job, it can hang the scheduled job and prevent repeat jobs from being submitted.
Local fix
The system administrator (root) needs to kill the hung shipping_server process. To check for hung process do > ps -eo pid,etime,time,args | grep shipping_server PID ELAPSED TIME COMMAND 15704 dd-hh:mm:ss 00:00 shipping_server sh_o_... An elapsed time of hours or days would indicate it is hung
