We're still running AR server 5.1 on HP-UX. We will upgrade our server in 2007-Q1 to v6.3 .
Prior to this, we have recently upgraded our clients to version 6.3. patch 18. Since we did this the server would sometimes error out and give ARERR [316] Failure with a temporary file : No such file or directory and ARERR [91] RPC call failed : RPC: Unable to receive; Asynchronous event occurred And were not able to use the application anymore. Stopping and restarting the AR server process arserverd solved this issue. In the normal log files was no descriptive information. This turned out to be because of the file descriptor limit was reached. The number of file descriptors in use by the arserverd process had grown by a factor 10(!!) since the deployment of the 6.3 user tools. Also, the number of file descriptors in use by arserverd would only increase and never decrease. Remedy Support told us something about the number of file descriptors growing because of the new client and the 'handshake' taking longer. They also stated something about a HP patch for file descriptor leaks in the RPC layer, but could not specify which patch it would be. Has anyone ran into this? Did you install a patch, which one? Kind regards, Michiel Setup: server HP -UX 11i, 5.1.2 no patch, oracle 8.1.7 clients: 6.3 patch 18. PS Of course our unix admins have raised the number of allowed file descriptors per process but this does not take away the cause. Also, the number of open file descriptors still will not decrease. We recycle the arserverd process during the night so it will not become a problem anymore. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are"
