BI Server Hanging and spiking CPU

Hello all,
The BI Server on my linux environment started today spiking the CPU and hanging. I restarted the services and the same issues happened again right after loading the subject areas metadata and running the init blocks. I thought it was one of the init blocks or something of that nature, but alas, it happens whenever it sends a query to an Oracle DB. There have been no changes to the RPD, startup scripts, the server/bin libnqsdbgatewayoci* files nor the Oracle client from what I can see. I tnspinged the Oracle DBs and also logged in via sqlplus with success. So at this point, I am at a loss as to why the bi server all of a sudden have this issue.
I looked at the nqsserver.log and there is nothing that it shows of what is happening and why the bi server will peg the CPU. I looked at the NQQuery.log and see only that the queries are there and logged with no other messages that it returned. I even monitored the database sessions to see if the db conn pool logged in and submitted the query, which it did not. So I can only assume the connections where never made and the queries were never sent and it is in an infinite loop trying to connect and send the query. So how else can I tell or find more information to solve this one.
I am running on Linux OS, OBI version 10.1.3.4.1.090414.1900. Oracle DB is 10gR2 and using 10g client.
Thanks for any and all help on this. I searched google, the forums and metalink. Hopefully someone out there knows or can guide me.

We met the same issue. Can you tell me more details how to resolve it? You mentioned restart the Linux instance, DB instance or what's kind of other instance? Thanks you in advanced for your response.

Timer Job job-application-server-admin-service spiking CPU after every minute

Hi all,
I have an issue in my SP2010 Farm that all the servers spiking CPU to 100% after a minute or so. I have drilled down and found that the following timer jon is the culprit.
Timer Job job-application-server-admin-service. If I change the service running to 2 minutes (default is 1 Min) then the spikes comes after every 2 minutes.
Please suggest what I can do about this?

Was it working fine previously. If yes, what changes happened which caused this issue
1. Check the ULS + Eventviewer logs at the time when this issue happens.
2. Collect perflog files and execute PAL on that this will give you the complete analysis of processes and performance at that time.
Check below:

Fix the problem
Manually clear the file system cache on the local servers (fe's) on which the timer service is running (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939308)
Stop the SharePoint Timer Service in Administrative Tool/Services.
Go to the cache folder. For Windows Server 2008: Drive:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config
Find the folder that contains the file Cache.ini
Delete all the XML configuration files in the folder so that you can verify that the folder is replaced by new XML files when the cache is rebuilt.
Open the Cache.ini file, delete all content in the file and type 1, save and exit.
Start the SharePoint Timer service

hi all,
thanx a lot for your help,specially hari52
hari52 strangely enough the code started working,but
now i have another problem
after a while my server hangs or gets shutdown ,a
message is shown as
"java.exe has generated error and will be shutdown"
i know that more connections can be a prob. but i
make sure that connections r closed on each page,also
i am a newbie and do not have the time at present to
learn abt. connection pool ,can this problem be
solved easily?
it would be a great help again on your part,
thanx again,You remove the System.exit(1) line from the code inside the catch block
and try again. That's the reason tomcat getting down. System.exit(1) should not be used inside jsp. it will make the underlaying Servlet Engine to shutdown.

LaunchCFMA hanging and pegging CPU....

So I've encountered my first real Leopard issue. It involves LaunchCFMA and opening Photoshop CS files (original CS, yes, not CS2 or CS3). When I open one of the PS files, it seems to randomly hang—sometimes these same files will all open without issue at all, and other times none will open—which will peg LaunchCFMA to 100% CPU. It will just sit there and do nothing. I've let it sit for a few minutes and the files still didn't open. But!—this is the big but—if I simply click click anywhere (on the Desktop, in another app, etc.), the file will immediately open as normal.
Here's a video to illustrate better.
You could say, "Well, why not just click twice?" Yeah, it seems minor, but it's bothersome that it's random, and that it pegs one of my CPUs to 100% indefinitely unless I intervene. This is also an issue with creating scripted workflows, too, or batching things. I know it's only been two days, but any ideas, folks? Thanks for any help!

I have seen the same basic behavior saving a PowerPoint file (Clean install of 10.5.1, clean copy of Office 2004, updated by Microsoft Autoupdate).
Essentially, it took 35 minutes to save a roughly one megabyte PowerPoint file; for that time, launchCFMA.app was pegging one of the cores.
My initial reaction was to suspect disk problems; the disk, of course checked out fine and I was able to replicate the problem on my MacBookPro.

Server hangs or freezes during heavy load

During peak times of the day, especially during heavy load on the Calendar Server,
the application seems to hang. The client side application will not respond on
the user's desktop, and uni* commands on the server itself respond considerably
slow.

There are two parameters in the server configuration file that are strongly
believed to be a trigger of server hangs or freezes in large deployments and/or
busy servers. Here is a description of the problem:

Large deployments tend to be 3000+ users per node. This could be a single or
multi-node environment.

A lock manager fix was implemented in 4.0 to correct a problem that was
found in 3.51 where the server would hang. At that time, the parameters called
read/writelocktimeouts
were introduced as a failover mechanism in case the
database was not available, which would then trigger the client process to
disconnect rather than hang the whole server.

These timeouts effectively will terminate a process whose read or write exceeds
the specified periods. The default of 20 seconds is quite a large amount of time;
however, it is not totally unlikely that such a value could be met on a
very busy system. If this is the case, and there is some relation between a
process being terminated by one of these timeouts and subsequent system
instability, then the "solution" would not be to extend the values of the
timeouts but rather to exclude them. This way, it will ensure that no process is
terminated this way and therefore the process would be allowed to continue until
it had completed its job.

The timeouts were not removed from the product, but under normal circumstances
they probably won't be needed anymore anyhow. It seems that on a busy calendar
server, setting the db timeout alarms may actually trigger the server to freeze.
Below are some examples of errors that appear in the log files which show
that the database is no longer accepting client requests:

db_VISTA ERROR -920 -> cst_d_open: d_open
db_SchedBaseOpen: unable to open database
probable cause: unilckd is down or "/users/unison/tmp/unisonlckm"
was removed
uniengd: database lock timeout
ITEM: "NA,NA" <0,0>
CLIENT: "unises", "A.02.80"
INET-NAME:
INET-ADDR:
CALL: "SessionsInfoGet"

To make the fix:
<OL>
<LI>Using your favorite editor, edit the /users/unison/misc/unison.ini file.
In the following section you will see these two parameters:

[ENG]
writelocktimeout = 20
readlocktimeout = 20

<LI>Place a "#" sign (or the appropriate comment symbol for your OS) in front of
these two lines and save the file.

<LI>The server will now have to be restarted in order for the changes to take
effect.
</OL>

This looks similar to what I'm seeing.
DPM 2010, there's one backup set (for me a file server disk) that every time I try to run the initial replica on it the server hangs and needs to be rebooted by iLO. It doesn't just die suddenly, first the data stream on the backup stops then the OS becomes
less responsive but there is no resource issue. trying to open event view will cause a few things to lock up then over a few mins the server is complete froze. like the disk drives have been locked.
Suspecting McAfee, I added in all the exclusions, that didn't help so I added the process exclusions which are done by setting dpmra and csc to low risk and that didn't help either. I could reproduce it just by kicking off a backup for this one file servers
drive so it's easy to test with.
Tonight, I had some permissions in EPO to let me stop the scanning completely and disable the on-access scan and for the first time it worked!
There is definitely an issue between DPM and McAfee beyond what is on MS's web page for AV checks.
I don't have a workaround yet other than stopping the AV completely... Something to follow up on next week. For the moment I made some progress though.

Workspace server hangs

Hi,
When try to access Help --> About Hyperion@Workspace on the Workspace Console, the workspace server hang and require to restart the services.
We are on Hyperion System 9.3.1 and here are the config,
1. Two load balanced Workspace servers. Weblogic 9.1 is running on these
2. One HFM App server
3. One HFM Web server
4. One Shared Services Server
Siteminder SSO has been implemented to log in to workspace console.
The workspace throw's the following error message in the workspace.log file,

If you disable SiteMinder does the hanging problem go away? When working with SiteMinder in 11.1.1.2 it had quite a few quirks and I assume 9.3.1 integration wasn't too much better.

Essbase Server Hangs Intermittently - Urgent pls Help

Essbase Version - 9.3.3
Shared Services - 9.3.3
Enviroment - Windows Server 2003
We are in the process of migrating the users from Domain A to Domain B
There are around 15000 users across the board, out of which I assume there are around 250 users accessing the Hyperion Application.
Since the Domain Migration was started, We encountered Essbase Server freezes Intermittently.
Essbase Server goes down for about 10-15 Minutes and automatically comes back. No Error Msg in the Essbase Log.
Active Directory Migration was put on Hold because business had to complete their Month end Activities.
While we were working to find the RCA and identified that few users who were migrated from Domain A to Domain B appeared to be on Both the Domain and we figured out that it might be one of the reason for Essbase Server Hangs.
We had a Plan to Run the Update native Directory Utility to clear the Stale Data
Post Performing the Action our system was stable and didn't had system Hangs.
we also changed the shared services Cache refresh Interval to 24 Hrs in CSS.xml File ( Just to Make sure the Refresh happens Overnight)
Since the Active Directory Team had resumed their Migration Activies, we started Experiencing the System Hangs Issues again. server goes down for 5-10 min and comes back up
Please Input your Valuable Thoughts, Would Really Appreciate your Help.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt response.
As mentioned, AD team have the filters on place, There is no issues with the User Access and there was no change in password after migrating the Domain.
I have checked the Display Session through Maxl and there is No heavy sessions.
As Stated earlier, we are unable to identify the cause regarding the System Freeze. All users access the application all of sudden essbase server hangs and it doesn't allow user to retrieve the data, nor allow him to access any application within Essbase and Planning.
After 5-10 Min, server automatically comes back.
Can you tell me if there is a way to track the system Hangs through Essbase Log without getting the any inputs from the users.
Assuming if the users sessions are heavy what makes the server hang and automatically resumes without intervention.
Shared Services Security Log display the following Error, Can you tell me if you had come across any such errors before.
com.hyperion.css.spi.impl.msad.MSADCacheUpdater.updateUserCache(Ljavax.naming.directory.DirContext;Lcom.hyperion.css.common.CSSNodeImpl;Ljava.lang.String;Ljava.lang.String;Lcom.hyperion.css.datastructures.ProviderCacheMap;Ljava.util.Map;)V(Unknown Source) - Ignoring User.

Relay Server Hangs

After every hours our DEV Relay server hangs and stops responding.
There are no errors received when relay server URL is used but response takes unlimited time.
http://servername.com/ias_relay_server/client/rs_client.dll
To resolve this issue each time we need to reset the IIS so that all application pools are restarted. After this it works OK for a while but later it get stuck again.
Could you please advise
1) If this is a known issue ?
2) How and where to check what is the exact error ?
3) What could be the issue here ?

I found few more error while I am working on your suggestion to check ports.

Can you suggest any pointers for these error. That would be great. You have been a great help.

Safari hangs, beach ball and 100% CPU confusion

I'm struggling!
Safri 5.1 on Lion 10.7.3 and on both my Mackbook Air and iMac after the recent updates something is stopping Safar from loading. It just hangs, beachball kicks in and the CPU shoots upto around 100% with a "web process".
I've turned off and deleted all extensions, Flash, Flip4Mac, Perian, Ad Block, 1Password etc and restarted and the problem remains on both computers.
I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are several lines of text in monospaced type, which are UNIX shell commands. They’re harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of running these commands, search this site for other discussions in which they’ve been used without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. A text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(x|postfix|ntp|cups)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item'
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Connect To Server Hangs Before Prompting For Name And Password

Hi Everyone.
Connect to Server hangs for 25 seconds before prompting for name and password.
I am trying to access a share on a Windows 2008 R2 domain controller via a Mac running 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) using SMB.
Example: smb://192.168.101.11/sharename
Once connected, browsing is fine - it's just the connecting that takes a long time.
I have specified port 139 and login name, I have disabled IP6 on the Mac, the Mac and Windows 2008 server are on the same LAN and are wired.
Again, once connected, browsing is fine - it's just the connecting that takes a long time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Damian

Something to add ...
Connecting to a Windows 2008 stand-alone server outside of the domain (e.g., workgroup) does not have the same problem - the name and password prompt shows immediately.

Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 RDS hang and stop responding new rdp session. Already connected session also hang as well

We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 RDS supporting many ThinClients, mostly using a mandatory profile on a Windows 2003 R2 AD environment
at the moment of the hang what we experienced was:
New RDP sessions got stucked in the legend "Iniciando" (we have the spanish MUI).
Systems Events shows a lot of Warnings:
The Group Policy Client Side Extension Group Policy Shortcuts may have caused the Group Policy Service to terminate unexpectedly. To prevent further failures in the Group Policy
Service, this extension has been temporarily disabled until after the next system restart. Group Policy settings managed by this extension may no longer be enforced until the system is restarted. The vendor of this extension should be contacted if this issue
recurs.
and after that a lot of this errors:
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the CryptSvc service.
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the NlaSvc service.
The RDP protocol component X.224 detected an error in the protocol stream and has disconnected the client.
timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the Schedule service.
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the gpsvc service.
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the BITS service.
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the SessionEnv service.
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the ShellHWDetection service.
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the CertPropSvc service.
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the IKEEXT service.
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the iphlpsvc service.
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the SessionEnv service.
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the iphlpsvc service.
During the problem we ping DC and Network Share where Profile and Document Redirection resides and they were working OK (we also did a
\\server\HomeUsers and we reached it without problem)
Only reseting the server worked, Any Ideas of what could be causing this ?? Best Regards

Hi Clarence,
Today we experienced the problem again,
Users can’t login to RDS, but now they got stucked at “"Please wait for the Group Policy client”;
System log events recorded the following errors again:
timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the Schedule service.
timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the sessionenv service.
timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the ShellHWDetection service.
timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the Wuauserv service.
timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the BITS service.
timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the CertPropSvc service.
What path do you suggest to investigate further?
Thanks a lot!

Softwareupdate hangs and consumes 90%+ of cpu

I have an acquaintance who will occasionally run softwareupdate from a script, with various parms. The parm used doesn't make a difference. It will hang and consume upwards of 90%+ of his cpu.
He does have a proxy setup. We added "apple.com" to the bypass settings and it then said 'no network' or some such thing. We removed the domain from the bypass settings and it worked fine. If we reboot and rerun softwareupdate, it hangs, again.
If I run softwareupdate from a command line, I'm repeatedly prompted about using proxy settings. I don't recall the exact message. Even if I click 'always allow', (I believe that is the button text) it still hangs. I've never seen this behavior before. I'd appreciate any insights. Thanks.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/var/db/CoreDuet
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "CoreDuet" may open, containing one or more files with names beginning in "coreduetd." Move those files to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and test.

Looking for a server connection and hangs when I take my air home

Everytime I open motion on my new Air it seeks a server connection and then comes back with "can't find 10.10.1.101". It then hangs again for a few minutes with the same message. It tries a third time again with the same message and then gives up and allows me to work unimpeded.
I trashed prefs and can't find anyway else to un-make this desire to attach itself to my work server. Any ideas out there?

The easiest and best way is using 1) - change the SMTP server used for your work email account when at home.
I assume you must use the SMTP server for your work account to send messages with your personal account when at work?
There is a collection of AppleScripts available called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
The script you want to use from the collection of scripts is Change SMTP Server (Mail) to switch between different already defined SMTP servers or define a new one. This is especially useful if you are using your computer in more than one location and have to switch servers for several accounts at once.
Thunderbird includes a setting for changing the default SMTP server used for all accounts but this must be selected/changed by location which is not much or any different.
