[Contrib: Evaluation System] Provider sync failing

[Joseph Delaney]

We've suddenly run into a problem with evalsys where the provider no longer syncs the evaluation with the rosters. When we use "Quick Sync", the quartz job appears in the job list, disappears at the appropriate time, but no sync happens. We're running evalsys 1.4 with sakai 2.9.1, running on a cluster of 6 machines. Everything had been working normally since we updated to this configuration, about 6 weeks,  but it stopped last Thursday for no apparent reason.

This is the best we've been able to figure out - from Charles Hedrick:
> The code in GroupMembershipSyncImpl.java will only do anything if the job runs in a specific server, which is set in evalsettings. But as far as I know, quartz will run it on a random server. It looks to me like there’s only a one in 6 chance that it will run on the right server.


Is this correct? Does anyone have any suggestions on what we can do to get this functioning again?

Thanks,
