OC4J_Portal Container consuming all of the CPU

This is something that started recently. I have opened a TAR, but no one has been able to figure out teh problem. We are running Portal 9.0.2.6.18 on Solaris and every couple of days the container jumps from < 1 % of the CPU, to 100% of one of the CPUs in the box. We currently have it divided into two islands - so sometimes it totally consumes 2 of the 4 CPUs in the box.
Nothing in the logs is useful, and even debug logs on the PPE didn't help. Anyone seen this before? Anyone have any troubleshooting thoughts?
I already have a TAR open, but no one seems to know what teh issue is.
Thanks -
Al

Albert,
It strikes me that this issue will turn out to be either resource or patch related. If your systems ran fine for 9 months and then started exhibiting logarithmic growth issues I would suggest that this is a JVM resource issue. The most recent update in the associated bug states
*** 06/22/05 07:33 am ***
@ Log file opmn/logs/OC4J_Portal.default_island.1 contains thousands of Broken
@ Pipe messages.
*** 06/22/05 07:36 am *** (CHG: Sta->11 Asg->PTLDDR)
*** 06/22/05 08:00 am ***
@ Assigned to Portal DDR queue for additional diagnosis.
So it seems that you are experiencing communication issues, and as it states in the bug the issue has been escalated to the DDR team for further investigation.
My suggestion would be to continue to work with Support on this issue as they have the resources, manpower and access to development that you need to resolve your issue.
I'll keep an eye on the SR & bug for you to ensure that it doesn't drift focus..
Regards
Jason.

  • Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

    I have been a happy user of Firefox for many years. Around last April first I opened Firefox and was offered an update to v 4.42.0.0 which I accepted. Installation seemingly went well. I forget now exactly what happened but the result has been that ever since April 1 I haven’t been able to open the Firefox browser when clicking on the Firefox icon. My computer now was running very slowly. I tried to uninstall Firefox, but a popup told me I couldn’t because Firefox was in use. This confused me because I couldn’t see it being used. Only now I have found that on Task Manager processes that “firefox.exe” was consuming 99 % of the CPU. After removing firefox.exe by clicking End Process my computer ran better. I uninstalled Firefox I had on my computer and installed Firefox 5.0. Unfortunately I have the same problems: Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

    Born2die! Brilliant. I am a desktop clicker and never knew Firefox had a safe mode.
    Thank You!
    I was unable to start in safe mode initially. The second time I disabled all of the Add-Ons and she started up just fine. I enabled them one by one hoping to track down the culprit but the problem seems to have gone away.
    BTW I am running ver. 3.6.8 (in response to cor-el's earlier post) and
    Firefox is in the process of downloading 3.6.10 (which I am starting to think may have been what caused this whole problem to begin with)
    Incidentally, whats up with all of the Java Console Add Ons?
    I have:
    Java Console 6.0.11, Java Console 6.0.13, Java Console 6.0.15
    Java Console 6.0.17, Java Console 6.0.20, and Java Console 6.0.21
    What are they? Do I need them? Can I uninstall them? Is this due to using Open Office?
    Also, .NET Framework 0.0.0 Should I uninstall it?

    I also recognized a similar problem.
    While working in Creator, my CPU suddenly started to swaet blood running on 100% load for any reason I couldn't figure out.
    But I found out that my machine also almost out of RAM, so I added another GB of RAM and things went much better. I'm now working with a CPU of 3GHz (with HT) and 2 GB RAM, and I cannot recommend lower spec to work with Creator.
    The second very important thing was, that my virus-scanner (mcAffee enterprise) seems to be very scary about java things and consumes quite a lot performance scanning around things that I know their now as good. So I excluded some of the major directories creator wors with from scanning, and that also did a good job.

  • System Process - 'Locum' consumes all of my CPU processing Power!

    Hi,
          This issue has been raised before and archived.  I am having the same issues, emptying Trash takes forever, and working on my MBP is next to impossible as there is a time delay of a couple of seconds between typing on the keyboard and the letters appearing on screen!  The computer has slowed down so much that I cannot work on it.  Have tried rebooting - can I just force quit the 'LOCUM'.
    Any help will be most gratefully received.

    First things first
    Emergency backup procedure
    Drag and drop copy your users file folders (music, pictures, documents etc) to a regular external powered drive as soon as possible.
    Do not use, setup or trust only TimeMachine at this troubled time as it will copy corrupted data and we need just your users files safe just in case. TimeMachine cannot be used with a Windows PC.
    Unmount and Disconnect all external drives once the backup process is completed.
    Note:
    If you have any over 4GB sized files, those won't copy to a standard formatted FAT32/MSDOS drive from the factory, if you need to save these 4GB+ files use another blank/empty drive and use Disk Utility to format it 1 Partition, Option: GUID,  Format: OS X Extended Journaled (or the standard default one for older Mac's).
    Mac's cannot copy to nor format a NTFS  drive. ExFAT format to be used with a Windows machine must be right click formatted by Windows, not OS X (does it wrong) XP macines can install a free exFAT update from Microsoft. Vista-Win 8 can format exFAT.
    Formatting a drive will erase all data on it.

  • Emacs consuming all of CPU

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the new Emacs 23.2.1 in that it consumes all of my CPU when running under X. In console mode it works normally. Do you also experience this?

    The same problem just happened to me today. I requested reopening of the following task in the bugtracker: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19397
    Removing the file .kde4/env/gtk-qt-engine.rc.sh as described in the 3rd comment to the above task did not solve the problem for me.
    I didn't try the cedet patch, because that's from 2006 and the 100% cpu problem appeared with emacs 23.2.1 which is brand new.

  • Top Organization Classification as a Container for All Employees

    Hi All,
    I hope someone will be able to help me on this.
    From what I gathered in Oracle Documentation, the Employer is represented in HRMS as an enterprise structure and the Business Group is the highest Organization classification that serves as a container for all Organizations, Employees and other objects within it.
    However, I observed an Organization Classification "Employer" in the Define Organizations Screen.
    Does this mean that in fact the organization classification of the topmost organization in Oracle HRMS that serves as the container for ALL of the employees, is in the fact the "Employer" Organization Classification?
    Thks
    Ravi

    To determine the purpose and use of each organization you create, you give it one or more classifications. The setup information you enter for an organization depends in large part on its classification.
    Question : Does this mean that in fact the organization classification of the topmost organization in Oracle HRMS that serves as the container for ALL of the employees, is in the fact the "Employer" Organization Classification?
    No, organization classification of the topmost organization in Oracle HRMS that serves as the container should be "Business Group" Organization Classification.
    Thanks

  • Java Process Consuming 100% of Server CPU

    Hi,
    We have a new instance of CQ5 (version 5.4) running on a Windows 2003 SP2 Server. For some reason, which we can't determine, after a period of time a Java process on the system begins to consume 100% of the CPU and the system becomes totally unresponsive. Has anyone seen this before? Is there a fix for this?
    RK         

    Does the it eventually recover on it's own? It's possible that the JVM is doing full garbage collection.  How big is your max heap size?  I suggest to add some garbage collection debugging in the JVM_OPTS to see if it is Java's garbage collection or not.  Might as well check the heap too, to see if it's running our of memory.
    Example;
    -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution -Xloggc:/tmp/gc.log -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=/tmp

    I am facing this issue since FireFox 5, 6.01 and now 6.02.
    I have tried the following steps:-
    1) Upgrade to 6.0.2 and update to latest plugin/add-on
    2) Uninstall and Install only FireFox
    3) Uninstall, Remove FireFox Folder and Install only FireFox
    4) Uninstall, Remove FireFox Folder, Delete Registry and Install only FireFox
    All of the action above does not even resolved it. CPU will still Spike to 78%.
    Average CPU usage when submitting a request is about 46% ~78%
    By the way, I am running on Windows XP SP3, and 4GB RAM.

    At first sight, this does seem contradictory - but there are two or three reasonable interpretations, and you'll have to check the AWR report for the period to decide which is more appropriate:
    Option a) Oracle is consuming 9% of the host CPU - perhaps there's something else going on that's consuming the other 91%. There is a section in the AWR that can confirm this:

    Option b) You are only using 9% of the CPU, but ADDM can see that (for some processes or statements perhaps) that elapsed time = CPU time, and wants to give the message that there is an opportunity for improving these statements by tuning. (Given the comments about wait times being affected by CPU usage, though, I doubt if this is the case).
    Option c) There was a least one version of Oracle where some of the critical timings were reported in milliseconds rather than hundredths. This resulted in some silly conclusions when the ADDM could see SOME figures which were actually out by a factor of 10. Possibly one piece of arithmetic is showing 90% but the report you're looking at is showing 9% because of this code error. (Again, you have to cross-check the O/S CPU statistics with the Oracle CPU stats to check this theory).

  • "airport" process uses all of the memory an cpu

    After I reinstalled my MacBook and updated to the latest version of Tiger (10.4.8) my airport network behaves very strange. When I boot my MacBook or disconnect/connect my Airport network a process called "airport" is consuming all the CPU and memory. It uses one core exclusivly and gows to 1,2 GByte of RAM (even more virtual Memory). This slows down the macbook to almost still and heats up the CPU.
    The only thing I can do is to kill the process. Then everything works fine. But this is annoying.
    It seems to make no difference if I use a wireless LAN or not. When airport is enabled then this bug occurs.

    On this thread,
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=349
    2852, people that have Check Point Software's
    SecureClient are reporting the airport process using
    ~95% of CPU time.
    I had SecureClient installed and I can confirm that
    if you uninstall SecureClient, the airport process
    works normally again. I don't know if this is the
    only source of this problem, but if you happen to
    have SecureClient, then you might want to uninstall
    and confirm if this solves your problem.
    Also I would be curious if anyone is having this
    problem that has never had SecureClient, or any 3rd
    party VPN software.
    I can confirm that at least some of my problem with the "airport" process was related to VPN software. After uninstalling the Cisco VPN client, problems dramatically reduced. Interestingly, I still have the Checkpoint client installed, but only rarely see problems with "airport".

  • Ifconfig hangs consuming all cpu

    I just ungraded my 2005-6ish 13" mac book to snow leopard and I noticed that when I was connected to wifi my CPU was pegged at 100% despite not doing anything. Checking the activity monitor showed two instances of ifconfig consuming all my CPU, and they just kept running and running.
    I tried force quitting them and new ones popped back in their place. Starting up a terminal I checked for running ifconfigs:
    [12:03:57 ~]$ ps -aex | grep ifconfig
    8310   ??  S      0:00.00 /bin/sh -c ifconfig -a | grep inet
    8311   ??  R      1:40.05 ifconfig -a
    8317   ??  S      0:00.00 sh -c ifconfig en1 | awk '{ if(match($1,/ether/)) print $2; }'
    8318   ??  R      1:18.01 ifconfig en1
    And if I run ifconfig directly, it just hangs never completing:
    [12:03:14 ~]$ /sbin/ifconfig.old
    lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
            inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128

    I thought it might be something related to my account, but it also happens if I log into the guest account. This happens on multiple wifi networks and after a clean boot. Software update says I'm completely up to date. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not sure why this solution works. I didn't dig very deep after I used it to fix the problem on my Powerbook G4. However, if you're interested there is a discussion here:
    http://smartic.us/2007/11/8/leopard-100-cpu-usage-caused-by-syslogd-and-possibly -time-machine
    There is also a short article in the "TipBITS" column at http://db.tidbits.com/
    Just search for "syslogd", that's where I found the info I passed along here.

  • Help: CF10 (all hotfixes) on Win2K3 starts to consume up to 100% cpu (coldfusion.exe)

    hi
    We have a CF9 latest updates running on a Win2K3 server  under Apache 2.2.22 and JRun4 for years. Now, I wanted to upgrade to CF10.
    I first updated to Apache 2.2.23 with ssl 1.0.1c
    For reassurance, I just disabled all JRUN CF9 services as seen in the Task Manager.
    Then I installed CF10. The installer mentioend different  NET Ports. I accepted them.
    Install continued without a problem, CF10 was setup and I configured it. I then ran our main ap which also worked fine.
    Then, after some few hours while I was checking the health of it, I figured that  COLDFUSION.EXE takes up all CPU time.
    Server response  is still there but sluggish.I have not seen any reason why the cpu usage increases.
    I have to kill coldfusion.exe to cut cpu load. however, a few minutes after that (about 10-20 minutes) coldfusion.exe again begins to climb up. it takes about 5-10 minutes to hit 100% ...
    I have no idea how to deal with that (except going back to CF9)
    On my developer CF10 (same config) I have not seen that behavior. Howewer, this server is not exposed to the net, the productive one is ... there might be some deep links pointing somewhere ... however, our server is not a busy server, so it should not face such a cpu load .. as said it ran under CF9 for years without such problems.
    any hints how to detect the cause of this? Can I use any CF10 tools to figure out this problem?
    any other clues to that?
    it's urging ... as usual ...
    Thank
    Martin

    hi carl
    thanks for the hints ...

    What drives me crazy is that i never seem to catch the start of process when the CPU begins to climb. I can stare hours with the remote desktop to see the tast manager almost idling (as it should), then I go away and close teh rd session ... later, for curiosity, i get back and see the CPU agin on the ceiling ...
    if Windows Perfmon would allow me to add the cf10 counters, i hope i could corelate the time of the cpu öoad climb with a request to my vhosts ... i NEED to find that call that might start all this after a cf10 restart ...
    Martin
    BTW & FWIW:
    I have CF9 Enterprise (JRUN stuff) on the same server, of course all services disabled. by this i mean i did not uninstall it before installing cf10 the first time.  could this be a problem?
    As i wrote that, the cpu again begins to climb. I then did a cfstat -s because PerfMon does not work. cfstat says this
    Pg/Sec  DB/Sec  CP/Sec  Reqs  Reqs  Reqs  AvgQ   AvgReq AvgDB  Bytes  Bytes
    Now Hi  Now Hi  Now Hi  Q'ed  Run'g TO'ed Time   Time   Time   In/Sec Out/Sec
    0   0   0   0   -1  -1  0     0     0     0      0      2889   0      0
    and while i atch the cpu climb, i use cfstat over and over and see the AvgDB count increasing constantly ...
