Hi all, We had to do some emergency maintenance to the server just now in hopes of fixing this problem. We are hoping we have created enough processing power to improve the performance of exports so that you will no longer see this message under current load. This maintenance should also improve delivery times on reminders and form and case forwarding, for those of you who have recently reported delays in those parts of the system. We can't guarantee this problem is fully addressed, but we are still tracking it closely and will continue to do what we can to increase performance. As a side effect of this emergency maintenance, we had to temporarily disable new forms from showing up in the version 4 form API (if you don't know what that means you can ignore it). We expect these forms will be available via that API within 24 hours. Sorry about any inconvenience that this causes - all other areas of HQ should not be affected. best, Cory > **···** > > On Mon, Jul 15, 2013 at 8:57 AM, Cory Zue wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > You may have noticed getting a "task processor not detected" error when > > trying to download exports in the last 24 hours.

Could these recent changes have anything to do with it seeming to take forever to download applications on to phones today? I admit our Internet connection is not very good, but it's taking maybe 5 to 10 times as long as previously experienced, most of which is spent on "verifying multimedia" (of which there is none in the applications concerned).

James, Good point regarding the thread, it'll be hard to follow this in the group history .Can you actually submit this as a bug from your domain so we have the context to replicate and test this locally on our end?
