100% cpu load on emagent.exe process

i'm testing latest Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) database on virtual machine (through vmware on winxp). i've got dualcore cpu, one core is dedicated for virtual OS. when i installed oracle database with default settings on it, everything worked fine. i tried to import my tablespaces, schemas and data into it and after a while, I noticed strange behavior. system was very very slow. i run sysinternals process explorer (something like extended task manager) and discovered, that there are 3 processes named "perl.exe" that are consuming all the cpu time constantly !! each one consumes cca 33% of cpu. all these procesess were created by process "emagent.exe" even if it wasn't accessed via explorer... can anybody give me a hand with this?

i needed to get it working, so i installed it on another virtual machine, and it seems to work now...
but back to this problem>
i turned it on and the problem is still here, BUT now the database instance doesn't even start :< when i want to start it manualy through web em, it needs to provide host OS user name and password. when i enter it, it will say "wrong password" (the user account is in administrator and dba group and have right password). i also tried to create new user account (winxp) with roles administrator and dba, but it doesn't help.
maybe it's newbie question, because i'm newbie as you could imagine ;>
i uploaded emagent log files here:
http://www.samopal.eu/emagent.log
http://www.samopal.eu/emagent.trc
if someone is interested.
these are old ones. i wanted to to clear logs and try to reproduce this overload and see clearly what exactly is the cause, but because i don't know how to start this db up, i can't...
i will try to do something with it tomorow and i will put there what am i discovered then...

100% CPU load but no clue in thread dump, EP. Win a bottle of champagne...

Hi,
We are suddenly facing 100% CPU load in our EP cluster (5 x 8-way Xeon multiprocessor machines). We have a serious performance problem that is burning a lot of our time and causes a lot of stress for over 3 weeks now.
We have taken tens of thread dumps from Application Nodes.
- In none of the thread dumps we see the Finalizer thread
running.
- From the garbage collector log we see that full garbage
collection runs occur very rarily (once an hour).
- We use the compacting garbage collector.
- In a lot of thread dumps we do not even see our own portal code in the stack traces of the threads!
- In Windows Task Manager we see the jlaunch.exe processes
consume all available CPU time.
- Portal users see a blank portal page when the CPU load hits 100%. When the load goes down again, things return to normal.
- There are no errors logged in any of the log files of the portal. We checked all of them. We expected a log full of errors somewhere but nothing even remotely interesting was found. Windows Event Viewer shows nothing either.
- The amount of sockets in CLOSE_WAIT status is < 10 on every machine in the cluster.
This forces me to conclude that something in the jlaunch.exe executable consumes the CPU time. This raises the following 3 questions:
- What does the mystifying jlaunch.exe do besides executing java.exe ?
- Why is the Java virtual machine launched by a custom executable like jlaunch (What is it that cannot be program med in Java) ? Can it be GZip compression ?
- If the problem is not caused by jlaunch.exe, then it must be caused by the JVM. What activity, invisible in thread dumps, is performed by the JVM that can cause the high CPU load ?
Our development- and support teams are desperate. All suggestions are welcome. The person that comes up with
the solution to our problem gets a nice bottle of champagne.

Chris Twigt

Hi,
- What does the mystifying jlaunch.exe do besides executing java.exe ?
This is so that the startupframework can connect more easily and take control of the JVM in some situations
- Why is the Java virtual machine launched by a custom executable like jlaunch (What is it that cannot be program med in Java) ?
I assume when SAP release their JVM (in the next major release), that will be called directly.
- If the problem is not caused by jlaunch.exe, then it must be caused by the JVM. What activity, invisible in thread dumps, is performed by the JVM that can cause the high CPU load ?
Loads of thing, but there should be clues in the thread dumps. (the reason why your code is not in those thread dumps is that your code is only active during the processing of a particular request, unless you have a service, afterwards there are no trace of it as the thread which does the processing goes back to sleep)
I've experienced a similar situation with a an 6.40 portal, and it was then caused by the following:
1. User A comes logs in and sees that some cache timeout has occured , therefore it issues a SQL query which does a full table scan on a table of approx. 1 GB (on of the UME tables)
2. User B comes in just afterwards and also sees that the cache timeout has occured, and issues the same SQL query as User A
3. User C .... and so on untill the query from User A eventually finishes
So
1. Check database. Any big queries running ?
2. Check file activity, are there a lot of writing ?
3. Check network activity, especially to the state controller which is the weakest link
4. What about portal logs ? Any activity during the hang ?
Also, please provide one of the thread dumps for further analysis..
cheers

100% CPU Load

Hi,
I've been running the trial of Lightroom on Win XP, Athlon XP 3.2Ghz w/1Gb RAM + 2 hard drives. 1 SATA drive (all my images) and a 10Gb IDE disk for the database.
I've read some of the FAQs and switched off every process that I don't need (AVG, iPod service etc). However, I've found that lightroom completely takes out my PC quite regularly (BSOD) and when it doesn't do that, it either crashes itself or sits there, doing absolutely nothing but taking 100% CPU load. It seems to be doing something in substrate.dll but I've googled and not found much information on it.
anybody have a similar experience? any ideas? From the odd bit of time I've had with the tool, I think it will be great, if only it didn't fall over at every opportunity.
cheers,
Matt

I have upgraded to Lightroom 1.1 and am having severe problems. I am running Windows XP SP2. When I try to access a photo in Library or Develop, it hangs for minutes "loading." Windows Task Manager indicates 100% CPU issues whenever I try to do anything. I see by this thread that I should increase the swap file (which for Adobe Photoshop CS3 is located on another disk on my laptop as hdd space is limited on my primary hard drive). I cannot find this setting for Lightroom. Also, should I try to delete all photos in the Catalog and reinstall all of them to improve performance? I am quite desperate. I did not have these problems w/ Lightroom 1.1, even with limited hdd space. Please advise.

Some web pages causing 100% CPU use of iexplore.exe since Flash update

I'm having a problem with certain Amazon.com pages hanging my
Internet Explorer 6 using Flash Player 10,0,12,36, causing 100% CPU
use for iexplore.exe and requiring me to End Task to quit. All the
pages effected have an interactive mouseover Size and Color chart
that intially says "Loading" but then says "Select Size and Color"
once loaded. One mouseovers the various color patches and size
options, each time giving item availability in that option. When
the pages hang the IE browser with 100% CPU use that chart never
gets to the "Select Size and Color" point, instead stuck at the
"Loading" status. This happens most times, but not every time.
Sometimes the pages load correctly, after a brief lag as it loads
the chart.
Amazon pages without this chart load fine.
The start of this problem coincides with updating Flash.
I can prevent the problem from happening almost every time if
I can quickly get my cursor into that chart area while the page
begins loading. If I allow the pages to load fully with no
interaction they will hang almost every time.
I have not noticed any problems on those same web pages using
Firefox using Flash Player 9,0,124,0
I also have not noticed any issues with other sites using
Internet Explorer either. (YouTube, QVC, CNN...etc, all OK.)
I had posted for assistance on the Experts Exchange site and
there was some debate on whether the chart was a Java or
Flash-based chart, so initially it was being approached as a
possible Java issue, so I removed all Java versions on the system
and installed various versions, but the same problem persists.
I've downloaded but not run the Flash Uninstaller, as I'm
reluctant to uninstall the Firefox Flash version without knowing
for sure I could install 9,0,124,0 again.
I've downloaded an archived fp9_archive.zip, which seems to
indicate the contained files flashplayer9r124_winax.exe (Internet
Explorer) and flashplayer9r124_win.exe (Netscape) would be versions
9,0,124,0 to install after running the uninstaller.
Can anyone check a few of the links below and see if the
"Select Size and Color" chart is Flash based? If so, would
executing the files listed above install 9,0,124,0 into my
respective browsers again?

to be Flash related.

Update 3.6.17 to 4.01 fails on add-on sequence (100% CPU load)

When updating Firefox 3.6.17 to 4.01 the update process fails in the add on updating phase (loses activity). Afterwards starting Firefox results in close to 100% CPU-load and no progress at all.
Since FF 4 no longer provides for a safe mode start, I can not check a FF4 start-up without his add ons. And removing the addon before the update was never required in Firefox before.
I noticed that the Microsoft NET Framework assistant 1.2.1 in FF3.6 is replaced by version 0.0.0. for FF 4 (looks for 3.5 SP1). Perhaps this MS jump in version is the root of this problem?
Extra: either disabling the NET Framework assistant, or moving to the addon to version 1.2.2. before updating solves this problem. Maybe this is not an addon problem after all, but FF4 instead?

Limit CPU load of a single process

Is it possible to limit the CPU load of a certain process to e.g. 70% leaving 30% for the idle process?
I have some CPU intensive simulations with hard-disk access running over night. Does not make a difference if the job takes 4 hours or 6 hours - I am sleeping anyway. But I'd like to be nice to my beloved MacMini and keep it cool. The room temperatures are pretty hot this summer anyway and I don't know if my MacMini will withstand several hours at 100% CPU load, hard disk access and ambient temps of 38°C (100°F). Just want to be on the save side.
Is there a shell command like 'limit -cpu <process_id> 0.70' ?
Or can I clock my macMini at half the usual clock, i.e. at 700 MHz?
What about a loop: (1) 'kill -s stop <process_id>' (2) wait 3 secs (4) 'kill -s cont <process_id>' (4) wait 7 sec. - How to program that loop in a shell? Which command to set the timing?
many thanks
Markus

Thank you for your answer, etresoft.
Yes, you are right, nice +20 and nice -20 does not make any difference, because the process I want to slow down is the "only" one running (beside residual 5% system load).
Your Mac will be fine even running full-bore.
I am not sure about that.
First, the fans get loud. Unfortunately, the Mac is in my bedroom and I would prefer a system load of 50-70%.
Secondly, I had a compressor job running over night for 6 hours. In the morning, I had a very weird file system corruption. I suspect a 'thermal issue'.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2715556
Maybe I'll do to 'kill -s start/stop'-in-a-loop script.
Unfortunately, I never wrote a shell script.
Any help how to make a loop and how to pause the script for 3 secs?
Many thanks

Start x11vnc -- X uses 100% cpu load

Hi.
I switched to arch64 and today I first used x11vnc and it is extremly slow. First I thought about the proxied connection but after looking into top I found X is using 100% cpu load. With arch32 everything worked as normal. Don't know whats the problem - any advices?

Hmmm, I switched from official nvidia driver to xf86-video-nv and now works much better. I'll try it again with nvidia but not today...

BT stack file TosBTMng.Exe causes 100% CPU Load

I'm also facing the problem that the Toshiba Bluetooth Manager (TosBtMng.exe) very often starts looping and causes a CPU load of 100%.
This happened with older versions of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and current version (5.1.0.12).
The affected system is a Tecra S1, internal BT-Modul and Windows XP SP2.
Installation of the BT-Stack went well and the notebook will boot succesfull while BT is enabled. I also checked for hidden COM-Ports and other hints found in this forum, no success.
The lockup seems to happen at different times. Sometimes just after are reboot, clicking on the BT Tray symbol with the right mouse button. Then the context menu is shown just as white area, no entries. It may also trying to connect to an already paired device. If I kill the process with the task manager I can restart and it continues to work for some time.
As found in another thread here I have enabled API logging of the Bluetooth Manager and found the following while connecting with the Nokia PC Suite to my mobile Phone:

A new COM port is successfully created (COM23), and a few seconds later the CPU Load of TosBtMng goes up to 100%, but no API calls are performed. And if you wait long enough the phone gets connected and data can be transferred. However, very slowly.
Probably due to the high CPU load a next COM (COM24) port will be created sometime later and this process is then repeated again:

Maybe this helps to locate the origin of the CPU load problem of the Bluetooth Manager.

I was having the same problem, and it turned out to be the Data execution prevention settings. I had turned on (System->Advanced->Data execution protection) the execution prevention for all programs, causing TosBTMng.exe to max out one processor core all the time. The solution was to add TosBtMng.exe to the list of exceptions and restart. I'd looked high and low for a solution - hope this helps someone else!

(Linux, SL510, NSLDEGE) No processes, 100% CPU-load reboot 1% CPU-load

I have a very big problem:
I bought a Lenovo ThinkPad SL510 NSLDEGE (2847-DEG) on this (german) website with no installed operating system. At first, I installed Ubuntu GNU/Linux 10.04 which worked excellently at the first view.
But then the big problem appeared the first time: suddenly my CPU-load grew from ca. 3% to 100% (because I started an editor or I opened a new firefox-tab) and I couldn't use my ThinkPad in any way, until the system crashed and I had to reboot. After the reboot all worked fine.
This problem appeares intermittent and I always see my last chance in rebooting the entire operating system. I've already tried different Linux-Distributions, but this did not solve my problem. And I've already tested my random access memory (RAM) with Memtest86.
Thus, my question is: Do you have an idea, what could cause this problem? What could be the reason for my CPU-crashes?
Greetings, Mekeor

I'm sure that this is not a Linux-problem!
Furthermore I wrote a bug report on launchpad (the ubuntu bug-report-website) here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/615792 . And here is my first forum-entry in the german ubuntu-forums (forum.ubuntuusers.de).
Besides this phenomenon, I think, is a specific characteristic of my Model (SL510, NSLDEGE)!

100% cpu load on file open

Hi,
very recently I have a very strange problem. whenever I open a file dialog on windows with a java program, the cpu load goes to 100% and I have to kill the process. It does not make a difference which java application I choose, it happens with dbvisualizer, freemind or ldapbrowser all the same.
Here's what I tried already:
* uninstall recent security patches
* upgrade from 1.5.0_06 to 1.5.0_07
* kill all running process and services (firewall, clearcase, virus scanner, all kind of other stuff) that are not required to run the machine (and boy was my computer fast, after I did this! lol)
All with no effect whatsoever.
Facts:
* It''s not related to the java program
* It's not related to the JVM
It's somewhere in the integration with windows, but where is it broken, and what can I do, to fix it? Any idea what I could do is really appreciated!
Help :-)

Yesterday I was close, today I found the reason. IT'S SO F***ING STUPID. It's actually another bug, which is only fixed in mustang:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6317789
For some reason I indeed had a shortcut on my desktop to the desktop itself. We have some document management system where you can checkin and checkout documents, and I configured it so to check them out to the desktop, and apparently that program created a shortcut on my desktop to the checkout folder!
Well, anyway, I have all the latestest security patches and drivers now - and also Java is working again. Can I now assign the duke dollars to myselfi? :-)

100% CPU utilization on svchost.exe or Automatic Updates service

We have upgraded from WSUS 2.0 to 3.0 SP1 and now have few Windows XP SP2 PCs that are extremely slow because the CPU is at 100% utilization running a process called "svchost.exe." If I go into services and stop and disable the "Automatic Updates" service the CPU drop to normal almost instantly. I tried forcing a reinstall of the Windows Update Agent. After I enable the "Automatic Updates" service the machine works fine for a day, than after a reboot it goes back to 100% CPU utilization. We need this fixed so we can get these computers updates.

Hi Ryan / Folks,
NO CA Products here - but I have had the same issues with Microsoft updates!
Here's the install path I used during my experience :
Cold install of XP with SP1 on the PC (Full factory system restore/rebuild).
Acer - Semperon 1.8GHz + 1GB RAM - 8Mb ADSL connection to Internet
XP SP2
Windows updates OK - used to install IE7
Reason - I found IE is compromised if you go straight to XP SP3
XP SP3
Next Office 2003 Pro
Switch to Microsoft updates - Custom Updates - SVCHost issue - Still checking for updates after 15 minutes
Switch back to Windows updates - Custom Updates - NO SVCHost Issue - Checking complete after 2 minutes
Tried both Microsoft fixes mentioned above

Same report back - i.e. SP3 newer etc.

Seems to install ok
Reboot PC
Swich back to manual Microsoft Updates and all is not really rosey as the initial "checking updates" scan can take at least 5 minutes with SVCHost at better than 90% CPU usage. So I believe the issue is not fixed, but it is just about useable.
Interestingly, no issues on my work LAN where I am the systems manager - 20 PCs and 8 servers using WSUS. All units are up to date and no SVCHost issues.
So.... No fix yet here, however my solution is as follows:
On the problematic PC I decided to switch back to Automatic Windows Updates. This keeps the PC up to date with all Operating System patches. Performance is not affected. I have decided that I will manually switch to the Microsoft update system once every couple of weeks or so to catch the updates for Office etc. I'll just have to set the updates scan running over a quiet period I suppose.
Plan B = Manual Office Updates http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/downloads/default.aspx - Left Pane - Office Updates.
Hope this sheds some light.

Adobe Reader 9.4-1 cause 100% CPU load on EL40 system

Hi,
when starting Adobe reader 9.4-1 on a Enterprise Linux 4 system the cpu load directly goes up to 100%
This happens on EL40 update 4, 5 & 8
I´m using gnome.
uname -a
Linux 2.6.9-89.0.0.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue May 19 04:23:49 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8)
Kind regards
Agent

I had the same problem on a RHEL4 system, I think starting with 9.3.1. The system requirements say only RHEL 5 is supported so I just uninstalled 9.3 and didn't look into it further.

100% CPU load in Projects view

Hi all,
my aperture is acting strange for a while now. If i start up my main library the CPU load rises up to 100% in the "Projects view". If i change to a subset of photos the load goes back to normal. But as soon as i change to the projects view again the CPU load rises again. During all this there is no activity shown in the activity window.
Sometimes aperture stops acting like this. But only sometimes and after a while. By now i couldn't figure out why all this is happening, and when it is stopping.
I already did a rebuild of my while database and also deleted the cache files as described in several blogs. A normal workflow is not possible with this behavior.
Maybe someone has experienced something familiar and can help
Im working on a 2008 Macbook with 4 GB of RAM. My Library has about 77.000 images in it. Aperture version is 3.1.1.
Thanks,
Stephan

This is good, isolating the problem is the first step, it appears the problem is to do with the library not the application.
You mention in your original post that you did a rebuild of your database, did you follow any of the other First Aid steps laid out on the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics page? The Repair Permissions & Repair Database options.

Gdm is running dbus-deamon with 100% CPU load

Hello Guys,
I have installed an Arch with Gnome yesterday (I am comming from Fedora). I am very happy with my installation, nearly everything works fine. Now i noticed, that my CPU load is super high. So i used top to check whats going on...
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
536 gdm 20 0 13108 1380 1136 R 100 0.0 126:25.88 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/etc/at-spi2/accessibility.conf --nofork --print-address 3
So gdm runs the dbus-daemon with 100% load. Whats goin on here? I have checked the wiki/forum and could not find anything.
Thx for help!
Some notes:
DAEMONS=(dbus networkmanager hwclock syslog-ng netfs crond)
gdm is started by systemd.
UPDATE
Hmm, seems to be a bug in dbus... The web is full of reports.

From the sound side try enabling and disabling msi for snd-hda-intel module (4 combinations to test). Another bothersome parameter is often snoop. Look for quirks for your hardware in alsa source code. Also you might want to disable your ~/.asoundrc for the time being. If you want to set MID as default card, you can use the recommended modprobe method in the meantime.
I would test another browser first though.

[workaround] 100% CPU load in GTK2 applications

I'm having strange issues with my GTK2 applications, namely Thunar and Thunderbird:
The gui is extremely slow and causes 100% cpu usage (just one core) for the process running Xorg.
For example, if I move the pointer between two buttons in Thunderbird I can watch the mouseover-effect being drawn - it takes almost a second!
No errors in Xorg.0.log, dmesg or xsession-errors, though. I'm using the proprietary NVIDIA-drivers and my system is up-to-date.
Any advice?
Thanks

I compared the 1.12.2 vs 1.12.8 pkgbuilds and it seems that the culprit is the missing patch: cairo-1.10.0-buggy_gradients.patch
Seems definitely a packaging issue:

...but the root cause seems to be a bug in nvidia drivers. nouveau performs really well.

PKGBUILD in aur with patches:

Please, mark this as solved or workaround.
