Subject: Re: Lots of blocking from SQLNS
Brooks,
Do you perhaps have extra delivery channels defined in your application that
aren't used (i.e. there are no/very few subscriber devices configured for
those delivery channels)? There is a bug in Notification Services SP1 where,
if you have defined many delivery channels in your ICF (config file) that
aren't used, the distributor mistakenly tries to grab new work items too
often. THis leads to the blocking you're describing.

We do have a hotfix available for this problem. You will need to contact
Product Support to obtain it.

Thanks
-shyam
