Hi guys,

Hope you all are having a great day.

I have an slight issue and some questions that I hope someone could help
shed some light on before I take this to BMC support.

Recently, we did some group changes  via the group form which caused a
group-cache update to be performed on the servers.  During this time, the
CPU of our first server jumped to 90% and sustained that for at least 3-4
minutes.  During this time no user could operate in Remedy at all.  All
other operations came to a screeching halt while this was being done.  Is
this the norm for a group-cache update?  I thought I read in the docs that
when a group-cache update occurs, only the admin thread is used and should
not affect other list and fast threads from using the system.  There will be
some performance impact, but no where does it state the system will come to
a halt when it's performed.

We have also seen this same behavior when modifying a piece of workflow.
Though I can understand this happening when we modify workflow to some point
as the server needs to recache workflow objects.

The thing is, my coworker has worked on other Remedy projects with other
companies and hasn't seen this behavior at all.  On our most loaded days we
only have 170 people accessing remedy.

Is this a configuration issue?  Has anyone else seen this behavior?

My servers are as follows:
2x Sun Fire v480R 1.2 Ghz 4GB RAM
Sun Solaris 9 SPARC
AR System 6.3 patch 20 server group

Database Server:
SunFire v210 1.3Ghz 8GB RAM
Sun Solaris 9 SPARC
Oracle 9i
