Event linkage activation

[Michael Pokraka]

We've had instances of the event queue delivery job falling over. Also - and I'm not sure if it is event Q related - events get stuck during delivery: They show up as 'Events with errors', 'Linkages with errors is empty', and the event queue browser shows them all as 'in process'.
 
All in all, I don't consider it stable, but it is relatively safe as it's saved bacon on a number of failures - i.e. Events just go into the queue when things go belly-up, and can be redelivered...
 
Cheers
Mike
