				Hey,
 
 
I'm using Broker version 5.0 with CSD4 on AIX.
 
 
I have a simple flow of the form:
 
HTTPInput >> Compute >> HTTPReply
 
 
In the compute node, the only thing done is database-writing.
 
Occasionslly, say once in 100 or 150 idenitcal requests, the biphttplistener process gets stuck, taking 90%+ of CPU usage and blocking acception of any further requests. Seldom, it causes the DataFlowEngine of the EG to also take 90%+ of CPU (this is possible cause the server has 6 CPUs). This is a not DB problem because it happens even if the DB writing is node is taken out.
 
 
Any ideas ? 
 
I'm totally lost, i can't even isolate the problem - the flow stands loads of some 500 requests sent in a row, but can randomly get stuck after another a single request is sent... |

				| It says nothing unusual but the lines about the execution group being started, there are no other errors realted to the listener or the EG itself... |

				Hi harelmoshe1,
 
 
Dont have much idea if the problem is due to HTTP....
 
 
Could you check the message size....I had a problem some time back, when the message had many repeating element occurances, the flow was looping on the single message...and CPU usage went up...that was a STACK problem which you should find in the forum....
 
 
You could check it out, but not guranteeing anything.
 
 
Regards. |

				OK
 
 
I am experiencing this on a test system
 
 
the production environment is configured the same and it is not happening (ok the production is alot bigger interms of CPU memory etc)
 
 
Once i restart the brokers all is fine for approximately 20 minutes then the biphttplistener goes to 90+%
 
 
have checked through the logs for the brokers and there is nothing mention
 
 
environment
 
xseries running suze 9 2 cpu 4 gb ram
 
WBIMB 5 FP4
 
 
One thing I can add is that I am getting a lock in the RetainedPubsTableLockSemaphore at the same time as the listener goes haywire |
