Re: Risks of Frequent yppush in distributed environment?

Came across a site that uses HP-UX and has a distributed database environment - uses Sybase, Oracle and Informix, thousands of users, numerous platforms and does a yppush every five minutes. Does anyone have any idea what (if any) risks are associated with this? I'm of the opinion that any changes to a live production environment are inherently risky, and doing a yppush of large files every 5 minutes seems to me to be excessive. Any idea what effects we might see when we encounter network spikes or problems in mid-push? Errol
