Suddenly WebLogic Server shutting down while doing testing

Hi All,
While we doing testing weblogic server shutting down.Here is the log generated by weblogic.

See case #188305. There is not a whole lot of information there and we really don't like to reproduce this.
If it happens again we will add more info to the case. In the log file we have seen 'class not found' for
weblogic.utils.... classes before it shuts down. Boot it again under no load and it comes up fine.

Hmm.. that's interesting.
What version of WLS, SP-level? what 's the avg load that you are putting on WLS? Is it in a clustered environment? what
the min/max heap size, executeThreadCount etc...
Any other details that you can provide us would be helpful for us to debug further.

We have seen this as well when load testing. It's hard to ignore the WL server shutting down by itself for no reason.

You will only see this, if WLS shutdown is commenced and if you try to PING the server.
you can safely ignore it.

  • Weblogic Server Shutting down execute threads

    Weblogic 5.1 SP9 on Solaris.
    After upgrading to SP9 from SP8 we are observing a new message in our log during
    the START UP PROCESS. It seems that after performing a GC and during the creation
    of the connection pools we are receiving a message "Shutting down execute threads".
    Though Weblogic starts up ok after this and performs ok we are still concerned
    on what execute threads are shutting down?
    Any help in an explanation would be appreciated.

    could you post complete the log file

  • Weblogic Server shutting down at Windows logout

    I have an administration server running on a WinXP machine - it works fine, except that every time I log out of Windows, it dies. I can start and stop it remotely via Node Manager with nobody logged into Windows, but as soon as I log out, it dies. Needless to say, that's not an acceptable state of affairs.
    The server logs seem to indicate that this dies when the JVM calls a WLS shutdown hook; http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do;jsessionid=d0b819f11f76f6ffffffffcf997b0034a8e29:YfiG?bug_id=4323062 seems to indicate this isn't a problem unique to weblogic, and the solution seems to be adding the -Xrs flag to JVM startup. (I'm using the Sun JVM) I used the server's admin console to add the flag to the Arguments field of the Server Start tab for the server, but the problem persists.
    Anyone else dealt with this or have a suggestion?

    Have you tried setting WebLogic to run as a Windows service?

  • Weblogic 11g abruptly shutting down while deployment

    Hi Guys,
    I have configured a weblogic server in a UNIX box & the server works fine when i deploy a working ear.
    But if the ear has any initialization codes (init) that throws error, the deployment of the application fails as expected but the server shuts down abruptly.
    Is there any way I can stop the server from shutting down abruptly?
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Essbase Server Shutting down suddenly

    HI,
    Our Essbase Server shutting down suddenly once or twice in a month. Previously we have the same problem, Hyperion recommended for Server upgrade from 9.2 to 9.3 version. But the problem still exits. What could be the reason? If you have any idea why the essbase server shutting down suddenly? What are all the possible reasons and what needs to be done to solve this problem.
    Essbase Version 9.3.1
    Oracle DB to load data.

    Previously we submitted the same issue to Hyperion team.. they suggested for server upgrade... after upgradation also same problem occuring.....
    Nothing is happening when server is down.. we r unable to do anything like data load, calc scriprts running.....
    Server is in volatile state like.. up for 2 min and down and starting up.... because of this application access is too slow... users are feeling like server is completely down......
    If we r trying to access through excel... it is hanging... after 10 min application info coming.... we checked the server statistics.... they r changing after long time.... ( we r checking the server status through top command in UNIX... here status is not changing as frequency as when the server is working fine)....

    Hello Jeff.
    EN version is not so eaqual in all with CZ version, I have PREMIUM one, not Standard.
    So I download these EN versions and Acrobat 7Pro separately.
    It look that it works, I have it installed on my presentation laptop. I ussualy work on PC and laptop is for bussines trips mostly.
    When I was working on my PC I found in menu one interesting option. I have installed CS2 in 2010 so it works OK, still in CZ. What I found in menu is called "Licence Transfer".
    I didnt try it because I dont want to loose my activation on PC, but could you please say to me what does this option means?
    Is it possible to copy licence on flash disk and use it on laptop, but it still be in PC also? Or it is only for deactivation, so you will loose it, and after this you can do new activation (which is impossible by server shut down)?
    And one question to the end, if I buy some later version like CS4 or CS5 (from some graphic studio which have one licence to sell-transfer) so do Adobe plan to shut down server too, for CS4, CS5 or after this non user/customer friendly solution (I mean for CS2) will Adobe do some application which we can install on our local PC and this app will say to CSxx "Your licence is OK, just continue in work" ?? --- this would be much better, I think if Adobe do this so it will be the same like no-activation versions in EN only but without so many complains and impacts on your customers.
    Thank you for reply me

First, the windows and toolbars all disappear, leaving only the desktop photo. Then, seconds later, that disappears, too, and the computer shuts off.
    This seems to happen only while using Gmail or Yahoo mail; earthlink web mail hasn't triggered it. (And I haven't tried any other web mail sites.)
    Any suggestions?
    SO far I have:
    repaired disk permissions
    verified the disk
    run the Apple hardware test
    upgraded to 10.4.10
    installed iLife '08
    installed and tried Firefox
    Thanks.

    Good idea, trying the test user! That the test user ran OK helps narrow done the troubleshooting steps, although it still leaves a lot of open questions.
    The flashing question mark followed by eventual starting indicates that the startup disk PRAM setting is lost or corrupted. Open System Preferences -> Startup Disk and reset the startup volume to be the hard drive's OS X volume.
    The missing hard drive in Disk Utility sounds bad, but if the hard drive were corrupted, it shouldn't be starting up and your test user account shouldn't be running. If you're braver than I am, you can try remotely talking your family through using the Unix file system check utility as described in Using Disk Utility and fsck.
    That the test user you created had no problems would seem point to either a conflicting third-party add-on, or a damaged hard drive that's being triggered when Spotlight runs in the background. The latter is unlikely since your test account ran OK. Have your family try Starting Up in Safe Mode. If the Mac is stable in Safe Mode, that leaves the process of determining what third-party add-on is causing the problem (talking someone through that sort of process remotely gives one a whole different perspective on the life of call center tech support staff).
    The basic idea is to move items out of the /Library/StartupItems and /Library/PreferencePanes folders and into a holding folder, retarting the computer, and seeing if the Mac is stable or not. After a particular item is identified as a likely culprit, it can either be deleted or, if the particualr function is really needed, the publisher's website checked for updates.
    Good luck!

  • I update I cloud in my computer but i forget plug my device iphone 5s in my computer, suddenly my device shut down automatically, what's wrong, now I can turn on my iphone 5s. How I solve the problem

    I update  icloud in my computer but i forget plug my device iphone 5s in my computer, suddenly my device shut down automatically, what's wrong, now I can turn on my iphone 5s. How I solve the problem

    Hi fransiscasanti28,
    If you are unable to power on your iPhone you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Specifically -
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L

  • Premiere Elements 11 shut down while starting; without error message

    hello everybody,
    pe11 worked well at my Laptop.
    Since a week it always shut down while starting it.
    No error message!
    I already reinstalled it, tried to start with admin rights, but it doesn't work.
    Thanks for your answers!
    Win 7 64bit

    Matze S
    Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit.
    Before a week ago, how long had you been working with Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit without problems?
    Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on that computer with Premiere Elements 11?
    Any new programs, 3rd party plug-ins and codecs, installed?
    Where are the Scratch Disks directed and how much free space is at those designated locations? Any pile ups
    of preview files in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder or conformed audio files in the Media Cache
    Files Folder.
    Let us get the classic deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file out of the way.
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11.0
    and in the 11.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 11.0 Folder
    in which it exists. Be sure to be working with Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
    Depending on how things are going, you might also include right clicking the desktop icon for the program, selecting and applying Run As
    Administrator.
    Let us work through the above and then, based on your results, we can decide what next if necessary.
    Thank you.
