Yes -- and no.
We have DB2 database with ND 4.1.3 on NT 4.0 SP 3 and our DB2 DSWorkers behave
similarly.
Our best *guess* is that is has to do with the worker getting caught in an
infinite loop of unsuccessfully connecting to the database. That's not a very
well-informed guess, but we've noticed that sometimes when this is occurring
other applications connecting to the same database (e.g., Access through ODBC)
will come back with a connection failure; we speculate that this may be from the
DB being overloaded by zillions of connect requests from ND.
As for resolution, our "answer" is to kill the runaway DSWorker, which solves
the problem. However, if you don't have the luxury of monitoring the CPU 24
hours a day, I have no real suggestions.
Our deployment platforms are Solaris; I don't know whether they have the same
problem there, and if they do, how they cope with it. I'm sure I could find out
for you, though; you don't make mention of the OS under which the ND server is
running.
The only other thing to note is that we *are* running 4.1.3, and it doesn't
solve the problem.

Subject: [ND] nd_DSWorker_41 using excess CPU on NT - NetD Version 4.1.24
We have noticed that sometimes the nd_DSWorker_41 starts to use up a large
amount of CPU and the application server
is unable to process any pages. We are going against a DB2 database on AIX and
have the NetD Application configured so
the RDBMS Service had 3 worker process with a maximum number of clients per
worker set to 1. We were told by
NetDynamics that we should upgrade to 4.1.3 which would correct this problem.
We have done so and still see the problem
occurring. Has anyone else seen this problem and were you able to get it
resolved?
