I have an open issue on the memory leaks in EIE patch 004 and 005, and I posted this information to it right after I sent it to the list. If you had not mentioned seeing extra connections, I might not have noticed it - the SQL Server involved is x64 on a dedicated server with 10 gb RAM, so I suspect it could have gone a _lot_ farther down the road before it started giving me any kinds of errors.

What you are describing is exactly what I am seeing on my server.. I have 5 instances of EIE, 3 of which are being used by Data exchanges that are defined. So what happens the minute I start all these 5 instances is that it opens 5 user connections to the SQL database and in a minute or so 2 connections close, (instances where no exchanges are defined on) leaving me with 3 open user connections to SQL consumed by EIE.. However, as the exchanges kick of periodically, it opens up an additional connection leaving the previous open so from 3 open connections from the time I started these services about an hour ago, I have now ended up with 11 open connections that are sleeping! And I think this keeps on increasing till it hits the SQL server limit we defined at 50 connections and then it throws up SQL errors of no more available SQL connections to attach itself to! If this what looks like an obvious defect on the EIE, I wonder if its being addressed to???

My AR server where I have a form updated by EIE every 15 minutes is showing similar connections to a server without EIE active - about 25 connections to the ARSystem database. The SQL Server with the vendor form EIE is reading from and posting back a Response to is a separate server from those hosting the ARSystem databases, and it is showing 918 sleeping connections from EIE!! Obviously it is opening a new connection every time it checks for any new data exchange definitions (hourly) and when it runs a scheduled data exchange (every 15 minutes), and is not releasing any of them. No wonder the eie.exe (patch 005) is gaining 200 K every time it runs!!

I looked at the SQL logs and it did look like the number of SQL users had exceeded 50. That the user connections should rise to 50 is almost impossible at 5:00 AM in the morning at this site as we have only 5 Fast, 10 List and 2 Private threads configured to the database and besides the AR System, there are no other connects to the database. What would bring the user connections up to 50? Are there connections established to the database that are not being released once its been established? And is there a fresh connection activated everytime a data exchange service runs leaving it open after its completed???

We have similar issues on Solaris. We have been though multiple debug builds and as far as I know the problem is still happening, occasionally.
