JDBC socketRead freezes the webserver

Hi,
today a webserver freezes, with more than 42 blocked threads, to inspect the problem i get a thread dump, from running instance, and the problematic thread is:

after 2 minutes, the problematic thread reach the end, and the webserver unfreeze, and come back processing requests.
The MaxDB and JDBC version is 7.6.03.07
note this problem dont occurs every time, or every day, just occurs in a random times, once per week, maybe have a reason on database side, that i dont know, any idea, how to check and inspect this type of problem?
Best regards

  • JDBC Sessions in SunOne WebServer and

    Has anyone in here worked with JDBC sessions in SunOne Webserver 6.1 ( with ASE 12.5.x / JDBC JConnect 5.x of course )?
    In SunOne 6.1 webserver, you can specifically tell it to use JDBC for session persistence:
         http://docs.sun.com/source/817-1833-10/pwasessn.html
    ... by using "com.iplanet.server.http.session.JdbcStore" as the "session-data-store" property. It also goes on to allow you to specify the actual column names that are used, etc...
    According to the URL above, the columns are:
    create table sessions
    SessionID VARCHAR(100),
    AccessTime NUMERIC(9),
    TimeOut NUMERIC(9),
    Value VARBINARY(4096)
    2) What indexes are required here ??
    e.g. I presume you'll need to have a unique index on the SessionID column, and perhaps an index on AccessTime ( for the repear to delete expired sessions )
    3) Any working example sun-web.xml using JdbcStore ??

    Ashok,
    Your database connection URL doesn't look right to me. The default database connection listener port is 1521 (not 9200). You can check this using the "lsnrctl" utility.
    To find the "host" and SID parts (of the URL), use the following SQL query:
    select HOST_NAME, INSTANCE_NAME from V$INSTANCEGood Luck,

  • I am using numbers in the new iWork. Just bought it 10 days back. I am not able to figure out how to add serial umbers from 1 to 100( for example) also i need to freeze the top header like in windows so that we can browse down without the heading going of

    i am using numbers in the new iWork. Just bought it 10 days back. I am not able to figure out how to add serial umbers from 1 to 100( for example) also i need to freeze the top header like in windows so that we can browse down without the heading going off. Can some one help?

    Hi Jay,
    Be aware that "Freeze Header Rows" and "Freeze Header Columns" apply only to rows and columns that are Header rows or Header columns. You can have up to five Header rows, Five Header Columns (and five Footer rows) on a Numbers Table.
    "Header rows" is a special designation. Besides being able to be frozen, Header and Footer rows are not included in formulas referencing whole columns, making it possible to place formulas such as =SUM(B) at the top (or bottom) of column B without causing a self-reference error, These designated rows are also not included in sorts of the rows in a table.

    Hi Anna,
    Thanks for posting your code - that helps a lot isolating the issue!
    While your code could work, if the SDK would have been implemented differently, it won't do what you want it to:
    - There is no et_FORM_DATA_LOAD event fired when a draft is loaded (use EventLogger from the B1DE tools - it would have told you that you are looking at an event that doesn't get fired...).
    - Not sure how "BusinessObjectInfo" is defined, but oForm.BusinessObject.Type = "112" does not occurr:
    The business object behind the form is the "real" business object - an Invoice ("13") in your case.
    Thus your code never reaches the lines where you disable the relevant columns... - you could e.g. use .NET Profiler form B1TE to get at least a better idea of what is happening inside the add-on, if you don't like to step through you add-on code.
    - oForm.BusinessObject.Type is a string (remember UDOs!) - not a number.
    - Table "ODRF" is not a datasource behind form "133" - please check the form's XML!
    If you would like to run that check you have to do it differently - using DI API...

  • How should I find out the stuff that keeps freezing the display?

    Hi,
    I am using gnome-shell from testing repo on a laptop computer. The system(I do not know which part) has frozen several times in a same way. The whole display just suddenly stops reacting while I am scrolling down the web page in Chrome, opening a wine program, or something else. I have not figured out any pattern of its occurrence, so it's not repeatable for now. It seems that it's related to some modules or libraries used by Google Chrome browser or Wine because it mostly happens when I am interacting with Chrome browser.
    It seems that only the display is frozen. I could not enter the tty with Ctrl + Alt + <F1...F8>, but I could move the cursor with my TrackPoint mouse. The NumLk/CapsLk LED also reacts normally. Even the network is working - when turning off and on the hardware switch of wireless, WiFi LED shows like the system is trying to reconnect the WiFi automatically.
    If there's anything related Chrome, I guess one of the possible reasons is that when installing google-chrome-dev from AUR, I replaced libpci with libpciaccess in the depends array so that it won't cause a file exists conflict when installing.
    Another possible reason is xinput, which I use for TrackPoint scrolling.
    Now I am very curious in finding out what exactly it is that keeps freezing the display, but I'm not sure where to start. Could anyone give me some suggestions?
    THANKS

    We are using a big report which takes very long time to expand and sometimes we get the error message "evdre encountered a problem retrieving data from the webserver" when expanding the report, but not very often for most of our users. But we have one user who gets this error message almost every second time he expands the report. This user have a computer with same capacity as the rest of us, can there be some setting on the computer or in the client installtion the cause this problem?

    This error occurs usually if we have huge data in combination of our dimensions.

  • IMac (2008) OS10.6.8 - Main menu freezes when running more than one application at a time.  Apple and 3rd party applications - all freeze the main menu.  Safe mode seems to work OK. Tried repairing permissions - didn't work.

    For the past 60 days I've experienced Main Menu freeze when running more than one application at a time.  iPhoto, Preview, Text Edit, Epson Scan, Firefox and Thunderbird are the apps I use almost daily.  No matter what I do, when more than one is running they will freeze the Main Menu (top of the screen).  I've tried booting is Safe Mode and I don't seem to have a problem.  I've tried several suggestions from repairing permission (DiskUtility) to eliminating specifis login items.  Nothing works. I've posted this issue on the Apple forum several times and no one else has experienced this problem.  I hesitate to take my iMac to the Apple Store or a private Apple repair service until I've exhausted all of my options.  Do I have any more options?    

    Question:  Everytime an app crashes I have the option to report it to Apple - which I usually do.  But I've NEVER reported a Main Menu freeze because it never asks me to
    There's really no need to submit to Apple, it's just a round file cabinet on the other end, especially with 10.6 or earlier.
    This sure sounds like a resource problem...
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...

    My iPhone 5 keeps freezing when I connect to wifi, not just freeze the wifi, but freezes the whole phone and have to hold home and lock button. Locks up completely and instantly when I turn on wifi and connect. Solutions?

    1.  If you are really on iOS 7.1, you may wish to try upgrading to 8.1.2 which is the latest (basing this on your signature).
    2.  If updating the phone doesn't help, is this only when you connect to a specific wifi network?  Or all wifi networks (including public with no password)?  If it is ALL wifi networks, you may have a hardware problem.  Genius bar would be the next step.

  • W530 print dialog freezes the program

    Hi,
         For the past two days I have encountered strange issues.
    I am trying to print out documents or images either from MS word, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe acrobat reader or Firefox. No matter which program I use, the moment I click print, the program freezes without bringing up the printing dialog box. I am unable to figure out the issue.
    I have additional issues with MS office where certain functions freeze the program from time to time. For example, when I try to change the font type or size, the program would freeze. This requires me to try  a couple of restarts or a fresh reinstall of the program. I believe these are bugs relating to my laptop as the same programs (from the same discs) are installed on my home desktop and they work flawlessly.
    FYI, I have made the following changes to my W530
    1. I have replaced the original 500GB 7200RPM primary hard disk with 240GB OCZ Vertex4 SSD. The 500GB hard disk has been moved to the CD ROM bay to serve as a 2nd HDD.
    2. I have increased the RAM to 16 GB.
    Apart from these changes it retains the original settings. It runs a Windows 7 64 bit OS.
    Any help to solve this issue is gratefully acknowledged
    Best wishes
    Arul

    Hi, altruist77
    To narrow down the list of possible issues, it may be a good idea to boot the system into Safe Mode and try the same steps as before and see if the issue still occurs. The printers will not load in safe mode, so you would not be able to print to them anyway. But I am curious to see if the print dialog will still make the computer hang.
    To boot into safe mode, either restart your computer or start from a cold boot. Begin tapping F8 at the splash screen and continue to tap the button until a menu appears. One of the options on this menu should be Safe Mode with Networking. Select this option and the computer will boot. Some features are removed from Safe Mode, so the display will likely look very different, but it is normal. Run the steps in this mode and see what happens.
    Best of luck, and let me know how it goes

    My Ipod Classic shows a red circle with a cross in the middle. I've completed diagnostic tests which have popped up, however any HP/FW/Hard Drive tests freeze the ipod, as if the hard drive won't spin. What do I do?
    After holding down the Select and Play/Pause button, I was able to restart the Ipod and then it brought me to a Diagnositc test. I have tried doing both the Mannual and Annual test on the ipod however in each test, the ipod freezes on different access tests. The HP (headphones) test, shows the headphones are detected, but then if it tries to play a song to make sure they work it freezes and goes back to the red cross. I have looked at various other questions regarding the FW cable, however I don't believe i have such a cabel. Then the Hard Drive test freezes up and I can hear a ticking noise coming from the drive but it doesnt seem to be spinning. Alongside these test issues, any computer cannot see the Ipod when plugged in (including itunes). Therefore some tests for the USB drive cannot be completed. I do not recall dropping it badly, though I have dropped it previously. Does all this mean there is damage to the drive? Should I instead take it to an apple store?
    Many Thanks

    The stats look fine. Try the DFU Restore method shown in Corrupt iPod classic. It may pay to disable any anti-virus software and use the staged transfer method to reload data, assuming you get that far.
