Processor Activation or Deactivation Delay with vPars

You may experience a delay with processor activation or deactivation in a vPar environment. For example, if you currently have two active processors in your vPar, and you activate an additional processor, by executing the following command:

icod_modify -a 1 “app demand:mjones:Bill Price:bprice@corp.com:(970)111-2222“

You should immediately receive a message indicating the number of active processors in the vPar:

3 processors are now active.

However, if your iCOD system is experiencing a delay with the processor activation, you will not receive the message above (indicating the additional processor is activated). After five seconds have elapsed, and the additional processor is not activated, you will receive the following message:

NOTE: This request may take one or more minutes to complete.

If you receive the above message, wait for the command to complete.

Though the above example is for a processor activation, the same scenario may occur for a processor deactivation in a vPar environment.
