Re: OTRS 5, Unable to register the process in the database.

Not quite what I intended to show. I did use the --force-pid but was told by Jens that it wasn't a good idea. Kind of like putting a band aid on a deep cut. It may mask the issue but it doesn't solve it.

Automatic statistic generation in OTRS 5

Hi all,

In previous OTRS version you could automatically generate statistics in a cronjob using the module:

$HOME/bin/otrs.GenerateStats.pl

This module is no longer available. Is there a way to automatically run statistic jobs and have it email in the new version?

I would suspect a ticket in a faulty state in the database and it's causing errors in the bulk action. Try doing smaller quantities. Can you do bulk action on just two tickets? Try executing in smaller quantities to see if you can narrow it down to one ticket causing the problem.
