SQLException :Too many client tasks problem

Hi,
In my Standalone Java Swing application, iam using connections to the MS-Access Database using Connection pooling..Iam initializing around 10 connections. After executing, performing some operations on application, after sometime...i get the SQL Exception Too many client tasks exception..
I have checked my programs..iam closing all my result set and prepared statements..
Where am i going wrong?
Can anybody pls advice me to solve this problem?
Regards,
SRhodes.

remember access has a max number of connection to handle which you are not closing. you close only resultset and statements

Can't Solve the "Too Many Clients Tasks" Problem

Hello All ,
I am creating a java desktop application , and i keep getting this error message:
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too many client tasks.
Any way ,i googled for this error and i found that because i creates many connections with database "more than 10 i think " , and that why i get this error message ..
The problem is that i do not know how to solve it , i tried to close the connections and i still getting the same error
I searched this forum , and someone suggest to close the connections and the statements and the resultset , but still not working
this is the code
public class Database_Mangement {
    private String User_ID;
    private String user_name;
    private String password;
    private Admin_Connection c;
    private Connection conn;
    private Connection uni_conn;
    private ArrayList<Admin_TableEntry> data;

      conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:smart_database");// Connect with database no 1 through ODBC
      uni_conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:uni_database");//Connect with database no 2 through ODBC

                String temp;
                temp = "select * from Students";
                getInfo = stm.executeQuery(temp);
            else if(type==2)
                 stm = uni_conn.createStatement();

                  if(type==1)
                  {tempclass.ID = getInfo.getString("Student_ID");
                   tempclass.Name =getInfo.getString("Student_Name");

                      tempclass.haveaccount=getInfo.getBoolean("Have_SmartCard");
                   data.add(tempclass);
catch(Exception e)
{System.out.println(e.getMessage();}
finally
     conn.close();
     uni_conn.close();
    stm.close();
//    getInfo.close(); Please note that i get an error message when i try to close the ResultSet
//and this is the error message
// Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: ResultSet is closed
               return data;
}and thank you for your time..

Thanks , but it only solved the ResultSet.close() problem ,
i am still getting the Too Many Clients error
and i am closing every connection i created after the end of every function .
i think i will switch to SQl server 2008 ... Hope it will be better

MS ACCESS EXCEPTION TOO MANY CLIENT TASKS

hi all
i am developing an application in jsp for calll center users.
there are 4 types of users who can interact with the appl
in that 100 users of one type are interacting with it.
i am using MS ACCESS for the database connection.
it is working well when 10 users simultaneously logs in
but when users increases its capacity degrades and it throws an exception TOO MANY CLIENT TASKS
i have surfed through net and diffrent forums in that the soln is to switch to Mysql or SQL SERVER
i had talked to the PM
he needs in MS ACCESS itself

Livecache issue LC10 BY0 Too many users (task limit)

Hi,
we have 2 application servers with one CI/DB, maxusertasks is 500
we figured out a livecache pb, with the following error messages
(db analyzer)
LC10 BY0 > Too many users (task limit)
User task 281 blocked in stae 'Prep-End(230)' since 902s, DB procedure : SAPAPO_CLEANUP application pid

before we had the warining: UTK5 is running 1804s, CPU 50% and CPU 100% (LC)
we have checked knldiag/knldiagerr files and we are unable to find what is the root cause of the problem?
How could we analyse this issue and find the treatment which triggers this issue?
(trace: (SAPAPO/OM01)
Thanks and Best regards,
any help would be rewarded.
Best regards,

Hello John,
We need additional information about the liveCache version, OS of the liveCache server; more details about situation when the issue occurred. Run "x_cons <SID> sh all 10 10 > task_info.txt" when the issue occurred to collect more information.
Check if the savepoint task is active - "x_cons <SID> show active".
Is the issue occurred during high loading to te liveCache?
Please review the SAP note 1391322 where the SPORADIC standstill in high load situation is also described, this issue is already fixed in the new liveCache releases.
This situation occured sporadically. It will be helpful to login to your system for further analysis of the reported issue to get clear if your system run into this known problem because the savepoint was hanging, because of that you had big amount of the user tasks which were hours in the state 'Prep-End' until the liveCache restart.
< It could be the reason for "livecache issue LC10 BY0 > Too many users (task limit)", you reached the MAXUSERTASKS limit,
the increasing of the liveCache parameter will not help you to solve the issue. >
You checked/saw the Database Analyzer log :
"User task 281 blocked in stae 'Prep-End(230)' since 902s, DB procedure : SAPAPO_CLEANUP application pid
User task 281 blocked in stae 'Prep-End(230)' since 902s, DB procedure : SIM_SIMSESSION_CONTROL, pid 31685

Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors
by Patrick Jordan on August 30, 2012 in iPad Tips & Tricks
I first posted about ‘Cannot connect to iTunes Store’ errors on the iPad back in May of this year. I was getting this error when trying to update or install new iPad apps.
Since then the issue has continued to trouble many iPad and iDevice users – and thanks to our excellent readers and commenters we’ve learned a number of effective fixes for this problem.
Here are the best ones I’ve seen – each of these has proven successful for many users:
DNS Settings Change
This fix has been recommended by Apple support and has proven successful for many commenters on my previous post. The way this works is to change DNS settings on your iPad or whichever iOS device is affected – by adding Google’s DNS server/s. Here’s how to do this:
– Go to the Settings app and tap on the Wi-Fi section in the left sidebar
– Then look at the ‘Choose a Network’ section in the main right-hand side area of the page and look for the network name that has a check mark next to it and rendered in blue text – the WiFi network you are currently using
– Tap on the blue arrow at the right-hand side of the listing for that network.
– On the next screen you’ll see a section labeled ‘IP Address’ with three large buttons below it. Make sure the DHCP button is selected. Below that you’ll see fields for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and others. Tap on the DNS field (the fourth one down).
– This will bring up the iPad’s on-screen keyboard and place the cursor at the end of the IP address for the DNS server currently being used by the iPad. Backspace until all the numbers for that address are gone. Then type this in:
8.8.8.8
Please note the periods after the first three 8s. You can also use 8.8.4.4 – both are valid addresses for Google’s DNS servers.
Download an App Via the Purchased Tab in the App Store
– Open the App Store app on your iPad or whichever iOS device is having this issue.
– Tap on the Purchased button in the bottom navigation bar.
– This will show you all the apps you’ve purchased on the iPad. Those that are already installed with a greyed out label. Others will display a small download icon, showing a cloud with a downward facing arrow in it.
– Tap on one of the download icons and download a purchased app.
For many users this has cleared some sort of App Store queue and allowed them to resume with normal updates. Some have had to repeat the download with a few apps in the Purchased section.
Set the Date Forward and Revert Back
– Open the Settings app and go to General > Date & Time
– On the Date & Time screen, tap to turn off ‘Set Automatically’
– Tap on ‘Set Date & Time’ and enter a date a couple of years or more in the future.
– Go out of Settings and then straight back in and turn ‘Set Automatically’ to restore the current date and time.

"Too Many Cards Open" Problem

since I updated the last update on my pre whenever I try to use a email link I get a too many cards open message even if there is only one card open. Then when I close everything and try to open a new email card or web card I get the same message until I restart the phone. Has anyone heard if this?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Hello paktec,
Are you using an HP Touchpad?
If you are experiencing the issue on a TouchPad try closing the applications and relaunching whatever new applicatiion you was trying to use.
If you are done with an application that you are not going to use again for while try completely closing the application before launching a new one.
There are two ways to close applications on the device.
1. Swipe the application up off the top of the screen
2. Pull the application down and slingshot it off the top of the screen.
By doing option 1 you are suspending the application in the background allowing it to open quicker subsequent times. By doing option 2 you are completely closing the application out. Opening the application later will take a little while longer, but if the application has a memory leak you will not run into any problems of it using memory while being in a suspended state.

Error while adding PNI for too many clients

Hi,
I have added bunch of hosts to the OSB server and while trying to add PNI for all these hosts I am getting the following error. I have a total of 42 clients. If I add 20 to 25, I am okay, otherwise I am getting the error below.
Can someone tell me how to fix this.
Error: unable to set preferred network interface for rstnosb01 - RPC buffer too small for message
Thanks,
Hari

Hi,
I had a similar problem in a previous version when adding attach points - it would work with up to about five, but not above. This has now been fixed, but the way I got around it was by shutting down all the OSB services on the Admin server, and then editing the appropriate OSB configuration file and added the extra information. I dont use PNI's so don't know which configuration file to edit, but you will probably find something on the Admin server in /usr/local/oracle/backup/admin/config/host/<OSB host name>. Have a look at one of the host configuration files which has worked and see what the format is.
Not for the faint-hearted I admit, but the beauty of OSB is that this type of workaround does seem to work (or at least it did in my case). Also, if you do give this a go, dont forget to save the original file first, and also dont forget to re-start the OSB services once you are done.

TOO MANY OPEN CURSORS PROBLEM ... PLEASE HELP

Hi,
my problem is the following :
I got data from a system in flat file format. ( ascii, semicolon separated )
I wrote mapping classes to different tables and insert via Oracle thin driver.
The data I got isn't 100% consistent. It may happen that there are double
records for tables whith unique indexes.
I catched the Exception like in the segment below
Statement insertStmnt = null;
try{
insertStmnt = connection.createStatement();
insertStmnt.execute(insertString);
connection.commit(); // autocommit is diabled
} catch ( Exception sql ) {
System.out.println(sql.toString());
connection.rollback();
insertStmnt.close();
The Problem : when receiving the SQLException ( UNIQUE CONSTRAINT VIOLATED )
the cursor remains open.
After exeeding the open_cursors system property ( Oracle )
no more data is loaded.
( the input files contains sometimes more than one million rows )
Any suggestion to my Mail
[email protected]
Thanks

Hi!
Now you only close your statement when you catch an error. You will have to close it if things works out fine as well:
Statement insertStmnt = null;
try{
insertStmnt = connection.createStatement();
insertStmnt.execute(insertString);
connection.commit(); // autocommit is diabled
insertStmnt.close();
} catch ( Exception sql ) {
System.out.println(sql.toString());
connection.rollback();
insertStmnt.close();
Good luck!

Too many contacts = sms problems

Hi, i bought and 16GB iPhone last week and i'm having some problems with SMS.
When I click on the SMS, it takes about 40 seconds to open (when it opens, because normally just returns to the home screen), everything is really slow (opening conversations, writing/reading messages..). The problem only occur when my big list of contacts its in the phone (+- 4000 names).
My sister bought and 16GB in the same day, everything is equal, but she only have 100 contacts and her iPhone work perfectly. I already tried restoring my iPhone and reseting, but after syncing my contacts, the SMSs just stop working right. When i sync MY contacts in HERs iPhone, the SMSs of hers phone also starts having problems.
I feel like if it wasnt prepared for that ammount of data. What should i do? Does the iPhone has limitations regarding the number of contacts?
Thanks in advance.

My life would be a lot easier if the iPhone had a spotlight, but in the time been, my fingers are getting stronger from all the scrolling...
I cant delete contacts because most of them are business relations/ hotels/ restaurants/ tennis partners... My contacts are my office on the road. But thanks for trying to help...
Anyone have a solution for my SMS problem?

Will too many instances created problem in production?

Hi,
I have a approval workflow for customer creation. It is transported to production. Now a 500 customers are created at a stretch in production. will this affect the performance of the workflow?
How do we check the performance of the workflow ? what are the ways that we can follow for effective performance of workflow?
Thanks,
Sivagami.R

Hi,
In production, the workflow was working fine. Suddenly the dialog workitem text is not getting replaced with variable values. it is shown as Customer &customer.number& instead of the values.
At a small span of time nearly 1000 customers have been created and this workflow has been triggered for all instances. Can this be a reason for the probelm.
Thanks,
Sivagami

Too many files open when parsing xml

HI,
I have an application which needs to parse about 13 XML files multiple times.After parsing the XML and creating a DOM I put in values to create an XML message which is then put onto a message queue.I am getting a 'Too many files open' problem.I have run the loop a maximum of 105 times after which i get the problem.However I will need to do this atleast more than 10000 times.Can someone suggest a solution to read the XML, create a DOM and populate the DOM without encountering the above mentioned problem.If I just parse the XML and store the 13 DOMs in a HashMap and use the same, the text values from the previous call get appended resulting in an invalid XML.To overcome this we parse the XML each time a message is to be sent.We also tried increasing the system memory as suggested at some sites but the solution was of no help.
Thanks & Regards

Don't know what this has to do with Web Start but you should make sure that, after parsing a file, the corresponding InputStream is properly closed.

Too Many disk I/O tasks (-10022) error playing song after edits

I have been fighting Logic 9 throwing the "Too Many disk I/O tasks (Elastic Audio) (-10022)" error when playing back a song with 12 tracks of audio AFTER I cut across 8 tracks (of drums) and move regions around. The Disk I/O indicator never shows more than 1-2 bars, tops when this error is thrown. While writing this up and troubleshooting, the problem has seemed to sort itself out, but only after doing some peculiar steps.
*System is MacPro 2x2.26 Quad-Core, 8GB RAM, Mackie Onyx 1620 recording to 500GB WD MyBook Pro over FW800. I/O Buffer = 128.
1) Grouped the 8 tracks of drums (there are 3 takes on each track). Play back song. No problems.
2) Cut the drums at bars 73, 81, 105 and 109.
3) Drag-copied the regions from bars 105-109 to 73-81.
4) Playback song, error thrown at bar 70
5) Increase buffer size to 256.
6) Playback song, error thrown at bar 70
7) Increase buffer size to 512.
8) Playback song, error thrown at bar 70
- Thought this might be a disk problem.
9) I copied the project with all the files to the internal Seagate and open the project.
10) Playback song, error thrown at bar 70
- Thinking this is not a disk problem.
11) Open the project on the original WD external drive.
12) Mute all regions an all drum tracks except the kick.
13) The song plays back normally.
14) Un-mute regions on 1 track and playback and repeat for each track.
15) The song plays back normally until the 8th drum track is un-muted, then the error is thrown.
16) Mute and un-mute the regions on 8th drum track.
17) The song now plays back normally. Error no longer thrown.
Looks like after making the edits, muting all the regions and un-muting them 1 by one might have cleared this up right away.
Is anyone else is experiencing something similar? If so, how are you working around this?

No, didn't solve it yet, after I'm done completing work to meet a deadline, I will do some experimenting and see what I can figure out. But so far I've had this phasing issue occur in two different sessions on two different rigs (both Mac Pro dual-quad core with lotsa RAM)...
One test that anyone could try... to really max it out... take one single source and record it onto 20 tracks at once... or I guess you could just record one track and then duplicate it 19 times, whatever. Group all these tracks, keep `em all at the same level. Then take a listen to all tracks at once using some good headphones.
Then put all the tracks in flex mode and do some flexing, flex every single quarter note this way and that way for three full measures or so, whatever. Then play it back again with headphones. If you hear ANY hint of phase shifting, then you are experiencing what I am experiencing.
For anyone who might not be familiar with the "phase shifting" sound I speak of, it pretty much will sound as if you are running your tracks through a classic "phase shifter" effect pedal or whatever. If using headphones, it'll seem like the audio starts swirling around in your head like some wacky stereo effect, frequency response will change and shift, etc.
I've noted that I have not always heard phase issues when flexing, it seem to be a bit inconsistent. It may be because I've been working in some very large sessions, maybe in my situations Logic was already being heavily taxed and then the extra flexing just put it over the edge. Don't know. Will do some testing perhaps next week.
But, I'd say everyone should be careful about this before bouncing forever to disk and then maybe deleting all your old raw audio, because if you permanently write in some wacky phase shifting between your group of drum tracks and have no original raw files left, you'll be in very big trouble... I don't think there would be any way to fix that. In a professional level mix, that type of issue would stick out like a sore thumb. I guess one fix would be to apply a phase shifter effect across the entire drum bus... on purpose... as some sort of artistic statement... hey, it might sound cool!
This whole issue has made me realize how incredibly important it is for DAW tracks to remain truly phase locked at all times. Been working with DAWs for years now and never really thought about it. In one regard, this is a lot to ask... to make sure your 30-odd tracks or whatever are always dead in time with each other, to the sample. It's certainly of critical importance, at least for multiple tracks of the same exact source (like when you have 12 mics on a drum kit etc).
Actually, perfect time synch is just as critical for even a mere TWO mics on a given source... any stereo recording. Once one track goes out of "synch" with the other, even by a minute amount, just for a short amount of time, you will HEAR it.,.. and it won't be good... unless you desire a wacky phase shifting effect.

"Too Many Redirects" problem when linking to the iTunes App Store... weird

I've done a decent amount of searching on this issue and I haven't really found anything that addresses this problem... basically, whenever I (using my iPhone/Safari) try to click a link to the App store; I get:
*Cannot Open Page*
+Safari cannot open the page because too many redirects occurred.+
I'm actually developing a site right now for an iPhone game; and I was using the link to Shazam as placeholder until we have our app approved. I generated the link using the iTunes App Generator - http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/wa/itmsL inkMaker - which gave me the code I pasted at the bottom if anyone is interested.
This did not work; but I figured the issue was on my side so I started to trouble shoot things. So the first thing I did was search "Shazam" using my iPhone's Safari browser - and the 3rd result is the App Store link:
http://www.google.com/search?q=shazam&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&client=firefox-a
I've used both my iPhone and the iPhone simulator (part of the SDK) to test this, and I've used different ISPs just in case there was something in between. *Same error.*
So thinking Shazam might also have problems; I tried a few more well known app name searches. *Everything is having this problem, it seems.*
This is my first support discussion post so sorry if it's too rambly or if I'm asking about a well known issue - but I really looked into this one and I'm wondering if it's pandemic or rare.
Thanks!

Hello mollusk,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
Just to let you know, this is primarily and end user to end user forum for the iPhone.
When you're working with the SDK, you will most likely get better information and feedback via the Developer's resources:

Router connection problems - DISH satellite receivers or too many devices?

(Sorry about that - I thought I had broken the message up.)
I'm having significant issues with my Linksys router timing out, and need help. I'll try to be as detailed as I can.
I have the following:
- Linksys WRT54G v3 wireless router I purchased off eBay 3-4 years ago. Using 128-bit WEP secirity. Even though the model says WRT54G, my Linksys setup page says I have a WRT54GL. Don't know if that's pertinent but thought I'd include the info)
- HP desktop running Vista Home Premium
- Gateway Solo laptop (circa 3Q 2002) running WinXP SP3, and also have WPC54G - Wireless-G Notebook Adapter
- Gateway M275 Notebook running Windows XP Tablet Edition w/SP3, internal wireless card
- Linksys WRE54G Wireless Range Expander, v3
My broadband internet connects to my cable modem, which then runs via ethernet to my router. I have my desktop connected to my router via (wired) ethernet cable (port 1), and the two laptops connect wirelessly. All three computers on my network run just fine and have had no connection issues until I had two (2) DISH satellite receivers installed this past Friday.
Prior to installation, I knew I would need the two receivers hooked up to my network via ethernet cable. Since one receiver was in the same room as my router, it was easy to run an ethernet cable from my router to the receiver (port 2). I had a challenge with the upstairs receiver, because I didn't have a direct connection, and wasn't sure how to wire it. So, I used my range expander by plugging in the expander into a nearby outlet, then connecting the receiver to the expander via ethernet cable.
I had some issues getting a good signal, and did some troubleshooting but made it work. Now I had five devices connected to my router: two with a wired ethernet cable and three wirelessly.
I started having connection timeouts within about 3-4 hours of satellite [receiver] installation. All of the sudden I couldn't connect to the internet on ANY device; both laptops couldn't connect wirelessly, my desktop couldn't connect, and the receivers were telling me my connection was bad. I checked modem but there were no issues. Still, I unplugged the power cable from the modem for a minute, then reconnected - still no internet. I called my cable company to have them troubleshoot the modem, but they pinged it several times & got positive results - still no internet, so I ruled the modem out.
I tried using the Windows connection troubleshooter to repair the problem, and got a DNS error message (which I don't know how to fix). I decided to unplug my router for 10-15 seconds, then plug back in - that got my internet connection going again. That lasted a couple hours & then failed. I unplugged the router again (is that a soft reset or a power cycle?), then reconnected & was able to connect to the internet. This happened a few more times over the weekend, and finally I decided the expander might be the issue (both DISH and Linksys tech support was not very helpful).
I found a way to wire my second receiver via ethernet cable (port 3), so now I had three wired devices, and two wireless devices. I thought this would fix the problem; it didn't, but at least I learned how to wire CAT5 cable. So I got that going for me... which is nice.
I plugged the ethernet cable directly from my modem to my desktop to test the timeout, but had no issues - the modem just wasn't the problem.
I was getting some IP address conflicts on my Norton Inernet Security, so I uninstalled that from my desktop, disconnected the power from the modem, disconnected the power from the router, shut down all devices, reset the IP addresses on the receivers, deleted the wireless connection from the laptops, shut down the desktop, and just left the whole mess alone for half a day. Then I reinstalled the Norton Internet Security, connected my wired devices, plugged the modem in, plugged the router in, reset my security, connected wirelessly with my laptops.
Within an hour my connection timed out.
Trying to chat with tech support wasn't feasible, as my connection kept going out. A guy at work said I shoudl ping my IP address, and let it repeat until my connection goes out. So I unplugged the router and plugged it back in to get an internet connection, the opened a cmd prompt and typed
ping 192.168.1.1 -t
I left it alone for a few hours, and when I came back, my internet connection was down, but I was still getting active pings - no problems there.
At this point I thought I had done everything except replacing my router (which I'm still tempted to do), but I called my broadband provider to see if there was anything they could do. One of the techs said I had too many devices connected to the internet, but I thought these routers were supposed to handle dozens of devices?
I finally called Linksys Tech Support and had a conversation for 90 minutes. We went through all the steps of unplugging the the modem, router & all connected devices, resetting the router, etc, etc. The only thing different he did was had me change my security from WPA to 64-bit WEP, and added passwords for DNA1 and DNS 2 (same password for each).
That was at 1:30am last night, and when I woke up to check my connection this morning, it was still connected. I have to check it again when I get home, but I'm wondering if I should just be prepared to get another router (and if so, any recommendations), or if there's something I'm still not doing that could resolve my issue - if I still have connection losses.
Also, I'm concerned about the security thing. If changing from WEP 128 or WPA to WEP 64 fixed my problem, I'm not sure I feel completely protected from intrusion - isn't that pretty much the least amount of security I can have (without forgoing it altogether)??
Finally, I've read a few threads suggesting possibly changing to static IP from DHCP; however, my satellite receiver installation documentation specifically advises against this for the receivers.
Anyway, I would very much appreciate some help.
