Re: OT: Apache Tomcat
One other thing I'd suggest that you can do now that may be worth looking into - disable IIS, get rid of Jakarta, and just run Tomcat on port 80. I had trouble with Jakarta in the past and didn't really need IIS anymore so I shut all of that down. If you can't, another thing I'd do to see if Tomcat is having the problem is to have the users getting the errors to go against port 8080 or whatever port you have Tomcat running on to see if the Mid Tier works for them at that point. Either way, I strongly suggest getting rid of IIS and Jakarta as they just add two more components that have to be maintained and investigated.

Also, the defect you are running into is likely a Mid Tier problem rather than a Tomcat problem, and I recall that some past versions of the Mid Tier have had memory leaks. I am also running on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit and if I remember correctly, the version BMC ships with isn't 64-bit. That being said, I prefer to get Tomcat from apache.org primarily to take advantage of bug fixes and other improvements to Tomcat that are made over time. BMC also leaves out the web-based administration piece, which isn't vital but makes it easier to work with Tomcat in my opinion especially if you want to run your Mid Tier alongside some non-BMC stuff on Tomcat. I have been working on some basic JSP pages (formerly in ASP) that I can use to display some data from the Remedy database in other places. For example, one JSP page can be embedded in SharePoint at the top of the screen to be a ticker for when a Critical Incident is opened. As a result, I like to make sure Tomcat is available for these other small web apps that I build. That being said, follow BMC's Performance Tuning whitepaper gives you most of what you need to do. I can't find the soft copy that I had, but you can find it on BMC's support site. For the Mid Tier, the areas you need to focus on are listed below. I've copied this from my development machine, which is set up a little less efficiently than my Production machine, and with some different memory values and logging options. Also, this is a mix of what I remember from BMC's whitepaper as well as my own (possibly out of date) experiences with Tomcat configuration. 1) Set appropriate Java (not Tomcat) memory allocations (via the JAVA_OPTS environment variable.) What I have it set to is: -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m 2) Update the Apache Tomcat configuration application (open the Tomcat Configuration app, go to the Java tab and update the Java Options section) to include garbage collection. I don't recall what BMC provides out of the box, and my configuration isn't totally based on what they suggest. However, I use something like this: -Dcatalina.home=D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0 -Dcatalina.base=D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0 -Djava.endorsed.dirs=D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\endorsed -Djava.io.tmpdir=D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\temp -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Djava.util.logging.config.file=D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\conf\logging.properties -XX:+UseCompressedOops -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:NewRatio=3 -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:ErrorFile=D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\logs\java_hs_err.log -XX:HeapDumpPath=D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\logs\ -Dorg.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH=true -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8086 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false 3) Set the Initial and Maximum memory pool sizes below the Java Options.

Re: OT: Apache Tomcat
Roger - What are your tomcat stderr logs looking like? You care to post the exception stacks that you may have seen during the time of the crash? Look for out of memory errors and class def not found errors in particular. Although I think the classdef errors are not likely unless you're calling a jar/war/class file that does not exist and it is not a major part of the overall initialization and function of Tomcat in and of itself. I know your original question is from a couple days ago but I tend to be late for the show when it comes to arslist and answering questions. Call it a good indicator of me being gainfully employed and therefore too busy to do so - it's what I tell myself.

Of course you probably know this, But you should usually do your utmost to keep the Server and Mid-tier at the same version and Patch level. We’ve been burned by having them on different versions, as well as same version but a different Patch levels. And BMC did give us some DLL’s at the Server level to try, and they did help. It reduced the crashing from twice a day to about what you are seeing (every 3 to 4 weeks). So you may want to bump your ARS version to 7.6 and see if that fixes your issue.

ISS03409598 SW00371854 SW00325104 Tried several patches that they provided to no success. They basically told us we have to upgrade as they could not solve it. We did set out Java Memory Settings to 1024, 1024 Granted our environment is a little different than yours ARS 7.1 Patch 8 (soon to be Patch 11) Mid-Tier 7.1 Patch 8 (soon to be Patch 11) MS SQL 2005 Windows Server 2003 Good luck, Let me know if you figure anything out.
