Right now we are on Patch 003.  I will look at the documentation for Patch 
6 or 7.  I am wondering if the report thing is just a symptom but it may 
be the whole problem.  The timing is just off on when everything started 
to happen and how it is progressively getting worse.  Thank you for the 
info.  I will check it out now.

** 
Which ARS 7.1.0 patch level are you on (Patch 8 was released on November 
20th)?  I think Patch 6 or 7 fixed a bug relating to reports.

Subject: Process Hanging
 
** All, 
We have our production server that has been hanging for about a month now. 
 I have been working with support to figure it out but as of yet we have 
not found the underlining issue.  So I am hoping someone else has seen 
this problem. 
ARS 7.1.0 
ITSM 7.0.3 
SQL 2005 on remote server 
Windows 2003 

We turned on and configured SLM and about or right at that time our system 
became slower and it started hanging up.  The arerror.log only shows the 
following: 
Tue Nov 24 16:25:15 2009  390635 : AR System server terminated when a 
signal/exception was received by the server (ARNOTE 20) 
Tue Nov 24 16:25:15 2009     0xc00000fd 
Tue Nov 24 16:25:15 2009  390635 : AR System server terminated -- fatal 
error encountered (ARNOTE 21) 
in the arthread log it shows: 
<THRD> /* Tue Nov 24 2009 10:52:12.5620 */ Thread Trace Log -- ON (AR 
Server 7.1.00 Patch 002 200802011900) 
<THRD> /* Tue Nov 24 2009 14:04:27.7550 */ Thread Id 1936 (thread number 
24) on LIST queue died. 
<THRD> /* Tue Nov 24 2009 14:04:27.7550 */ Thread Id 1904 (thread number 
24) on LIST queue restarted. 
<THRD> /* Tue Nov 24 2009 14:05:19.9140 */ Thread Id 3420 (thread number 
38) on FAST queue started. 

Always a LIST queue that dies; 
We have increased threads: 
Private-RPC-Socket:  390601   1   1 
Private-RPC-Socket:  390603   2   2 
Private-RPC-Socket:  390620   12  20 
Private-RPC-Socket:  390626   2   3 
Private-RPC-Socket:  390635   12  20 
Since we have 4 processors (well really 2 with 2 core) 

The Filter-Max-Total was changed since we have the ITSM suite. 
Filter-Max-Total: 500000 
Filter-Max-Stack: 10000 

I have changed any Custom escalations that may have some sort of hit on 
the system to either in off hours or to at least less frequent. 

Now the problem seems to be anytime we have someone run a report or what 
most likely is happening is 2 people are running reports the system hangs. 
  
The user tool hangs up and the process for arserver.exe has a memory usage 
of either over 800,000K or just under that.  The actual service does not 
stop however you can not do anything until the service is restarted.   
As this is a fairly new system it now has more users then ever and more 
actions are being taken.  However with it crashing around 6 times a day it 
is not useful.   Turning on SLM may be just a coincedence however we have 
a lot of Service Targets.   
Has anyone seen this and the memory usage going that high?  Support wants 
me to limit the search to 1000.  But we have way more that many tickets in 
one day and Management will not allow that to happen. 



Any help would be appreciated. 
Brandi
