If it's any consolation, I had to roll 7.0.1 patch 2 back to patch 1 after the server crashed constantly. I am on Solaris, but the net effect is the same; something fed the arserver cyanide, then it puked and died a horrible death. Seems EIE and arserver have been drinking from the same glass.

** Since our upgrade from ARS 5.1.2 to 7.0.1P2 on 6/27/07 I have no life. Ok, that's the end of my rant. Everyday, with the exception of Sat/Sun even though there are some users on the system, we have a thread run wild issue. It is with the LIST threads. This manifested itself in a arerror94 - database timeout Of course everyone points to Remedy but it didn't feel like a Remedy issue. I felt like network or database. Well after 4 days of denial the other guys finally started looking at their sides and various changes were made. Optimizations in oracle and some minor server changes. Yesterday we actually ran the full high-production hours schedule without timing out. Thought I was home free. Well on the way home the threads started to initiate again. And finally by 10:30p I had to restart the services because we were at 14 threads and our max is 15. Some sleep is required even after a v7 upgrade. Restarting the services clears the problem. Yesterday we ran most of the day at 10 threads. I check old statistics from May and that's what we were running at then. I know, it seems high ... that's not the issue right now. We were having 343 errors appear after a restart which didn't seem all that bad but apparently are VERY bad. Those got cleared away today and we are not seeing them anymore. So today, it's been a horrific day. Four times we pushed the threads to the limit and had to restart services. Over the last week or so I've become intimately familiar with my sql logs again. Looking for trends, patterns, hints. Sometimes it seems like when a person logs in it causes a thread to stop and restart. Or maybe it's the start of the thread buildup. But what I do see periodically are the following errors. AND I think I'm see a pattern that after one of these there is a slow buildup of threads from 7-11 over 20-30 minutes then 12-15 is faster. We start seeing hourglasses when I think we're at 14 on the way to 15. I'd like to know what the entry below is telling me. I've asked bmc support but have received no answer. I've looked in the sql logs at this time and don't see a real pattern to what the person was doing that would drive me in a certain direction. Any knowledge on this you can share would be appreciated.
