GWIA 702HP1a unable to unload and restart

Question

Hi,
i have found a problem by the GWIA version 702HP1a running on Netware 6.5
SP6.
The GWIA has open send threads and in the SEND folder store many mails, then
i can not restart (F6) or unload (F7). The GWIA freeze - i must restart the
server.
If the folder is empty and no Ssnd threads are open, then unload and restart
the GWIA successful.
I have as workaround protect the GWIA. But the problem is the same - F6 and
F7 is not working.
Then i find out more Iissues by "unload address space = GWIA":
- on Netware 6.5 SP6 unload the GWIA. <-OK
- on Netware 6.5 SP5 need a kill address space.
These problems are on standalone servers and netware cluster nodes. I can
reproduce that in 5 different enviroments.
Regards,
Joerg Buelow

I've also had two issues with the GWIA hotpatch and have left the GWIA "unloading" for 20-30 minutes and it will not unload. Is
Is it possible that this is a symptom of a known issue with the original HP2 release, because at the same time, it creates the huge files in the GWIA\000.PRC\GWWORK folder...

Its not frozen. Its finishing the threads it started. If you are like me,
when you go to shutdown, some bozo just send a 22 meg email to 15 people
on different email servers. and 3 of thoes are really slow. If this is in
fact what you have going on, then try the /killthreads switch. In
ConsoleOne its under SMTP/MIME > Settings > Kill Threads on Exit or
Restart. Of course, it might be possible to loose email that way, but
when you tell gwia to exit, it exits!
