· Check if there is a congestion in the MQPWP table (U0011667 and U0011668; System Overview)

· Check if there are any time critical database accesses and how long Automic has to wait for the database (U0003524 and U0003525; "===>")

· Check the logs of the other WP's for errors (e.g. "ORA-")

· Check if there is a congestion in the MQWP / MQOWP / MQRWP table (U0011667 and U0011668; System Overview)

In case of a reproduce able error, or ongoing errors in almost all cases a trace TCP/IP=2 and Database=4 of the WP's is sufficient.
