Get a slower machine! :lol:

Usually MUTEX errors are caused by the machine being "too fast for its own good", to quote one of Ascential's support staff.

It's to counter running out of attempts to gain MUTEX locks that the SPINTRIES and SPINCOUNT configuration parameters were introduced in the uvconfig file. Read the accompanying text in uvconfig; you may get enough from there to solve the problem. Otherwise, search for these terms in the forum.

Hi,

Don't use 'Basic Transformer' in PX jobs to avoid mutex error.
