Force a clearing of the tentacle queue

steven.hawkins · 10 March 2014 12:01

I have a PowerShell script I am working on and due to a license agreement pop-up the process hangs. I have resolved the PowerShell script to work around this, but my problem is with the Octopus Tentacle queue. I have used the Octopus Tentacle Manager to stop > re-install > start the service, but I still get the following when I try running a further deployment : -

2014-03-10 11:51:21.4533 WARN Deployment mutex started up with 'Deploying package App, version 3.9.3748.83' holding it.

Is there a way I can clear the queue on the Octopus Tentacle?

Cheers

Steve

Hi Steve,

Can you:

Stop the running Octopus Deploy: Tentacle windows service
Delete the Actors and Messages folders under: C:\Octopus\Tentacle
Start the Octopus Deploy: Tentacle windows service

This will purge the data that is preventing the deployment from continuing. This bug should be fixed in the latest release so that it doesn’t happen again, but for now you’ll need to perform the steps above.

Please let me know if that works for you,

Paul

That’s done the job!

Hi Paul,

So it appears there are a few issues when trying to reconnect after deleting the Actors and Messages folders : -

Hi Steven,

Would you be available to do a Skype call or another screen sharing session to try and resolve this?

Paul

Hi Paul,

Unfortunately it appears that the error went away with time and I haven’t been able to re-produce it since.

I will let you know if this starts up again

Cheers

Steve
