Agents Issue

[rolmedo]

Hello,
I have an IBM Chassis with 3 System Blade P6 with AIX 5.3 and OpenEdge 10.0B, in the first blade I have the AppServer in stateless mode, in the second I have the databases and the 3thd blade is AppServer too.
Both AppServer are in state less and connected to the same databases, the problem is that in some hour (not always the same) all the agents freeze in SENDING State and never ends, so I have to stop the appserver and start it again and everything comes fine. Checking all logs I don't find anything , any idea about it ?
Thanks !!

Check the agent processes in UNIX, if they are racking up a lot of CPU time, that suggests some code or index inefficiency.

Check the lock table in PROMON, if you can see anything in there for more than a few seconds, that suggests a lock conflict.

Check for someone running a server-side persistent procedure and not deleting it. I can't recall how good PSC is about cleaning these up when the client abends. We don't have a problem with it so I am guessing they must do an OK job of that. If this is the problem you should be able to figure it out from inspecting the agent log file.

Make sure you checked the broker log and the agent log, though 99% of the time anything interesting will be in the agent log.
