Hi Group,<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
There has been a lot of times when we feel that our application is slowing down
or the ASP.Net worker process is not working as its best. Although ASP.NET does
recycle its process after certain number of requests or memory Limit but there
are times when you feel that you could control these parameters and explicitly
restart the worker process.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
It is possible to restart the worker process explicitly after a certain number
of requests. <o:p></o:p>
In Machine.config under <configuration> <system.web><procesmodel> we have an
attribute called requestLimit.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Set this request Limit to the number of requests after you want to recycle your
worker process. It can be set to Infinite or any particular number. The default
setting is 5000.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Suppose if we set to it say 10 then you will notice that after every 10
requests aspnet_wp process will be recycled. You can note the process id's to
feel the change.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Second reason coz of which we may want our process to be recycled is because of
high consumption of memory.
<o:p></o:p>
In Machine.config under <configuration> <system.web><procesmodel> we have an
attribute called memoryLimit. Set the threshold to the amount you want. The
default is 60 i.e. 60%. The moment this threshold is reached aspnet_wp will be
recycled.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Before we make any changes to the machine.config we must remember that these
changes are going to affect all the applications on that machine coz we are
these changes at the core level. Hence after making these changes we should
bench mark all our <o:p></o:p>
applications.<o:p></o:p>
