[Bug 1818082] [NEW] Long delays after release of ePortfolio for archiving

 

Public bug reported:

Since upgrading from 18.04 we have noticed a long delay for the group
archiving process following the release of an ePortfolio from a group
back to a student. It used to take 30mins for a 1 page eportfolio
featuring 10 PDFs and 4 word documents to archive to LEAP2A. It is now
taking more than 1 hour since we upgraded to 18.10.

Interestingly we have found that the archiving is hanging for the first
two submissions, but then if you submit a third ePortfolio and then
release it that can hasten the first two into completing the archiving
process. Upon checking the archived LEAP2A files they are fine.

This is going to be a bit of a headache for us as students often
accidentally submit before they are supposed to and 1 hour or more is a
very long delay before they can resume work on their ePortfolio. As a
result we are going to have to turn off archiving during submissions and
then turn it on again in each group prior to ePortfolio release.

Steps to complete:
1. Student submits ePortfolio to a group which has archiving turned on.
2. Academic releases ePortfolio back to student from the group.
3. There is a long waiting period. Currently over 1 hour.
