Re: [U2] CPU Spikes to 100%
Curt, We are also on a Windows 2003 virtualized environment and experiencing the exact same thing. We have been working with Rocket and our vendor a lot over the past couple of months trying to track this down, but have not done so yet. Just last week, Rocket suggested we add a second processor to that machine which we did and they also suggested unchecking the box interact with desktop in the Universe Telnet service. We did both of these last week and only had one problem this week which lasted about 2 minutes. Prior to making these changes we were seeing the issue about every other day so it looks like those suggestions may have helped, but still not completely fixed our problem.

Re: [U2] CPU Spikes to 100%
Yes, we have seen this happen quite frequently on our Windows 2003 virtual server. Go into Windows Services and find the Universe Telnet service and on the second tab (i think) there is a checkbox for interact with desktop. Make sure that's not checked. This is what Rocket told us. It hasn't completely fixed our issue but seems to have helped. Could be just luck though.

[U2] Re: UniVerse on Windows 2003 Server - Environment
Still haven't found our issue but I'm wondering if you've ever seen this behavior. It seems to be happening about once a day to different users. Our users use putty to login to our ssh server. From there they are routed to the universe server. I'm not real familiar with how all that works. Once in a while a users session will get dropped but the telnet session in universe remains open. They can be doing absolutely nothing at the time of disconnect (sitting at tcl or a input prompt), yet their process will begin consuming cpu resource like crazy until we go in and manually disconnect them.

Re: [U2] UniVerse on Windows 2003 Server - Environment
I do think this is the problem Ken, but it only happens about once a day or once every other day so not sure why. We do have UniAdmin installed but I don't get much help from that. What specifically would I look at in UniAdmin? I'll look into OpenSSH. Thanks.

It would work much better if you had OpenSSH running on the UniVerse server and used it to connect directly to UniVerse. I bet UniVerse still thinks the session is connected. Have you installed UniAdmin and used it to see the sessions and their status? If not you UniAdmin (on the UniVerse client install CD) is a great tool for this type of problem.

Re: [U2] UniVerse on Windows 2003 Server - Environment
Unfortunately we rarely see problems in the task manager. There is one situation that is very strange though and does cause us problems. Sometimes when a user is disconnected from the server on telnet, it leaves the session open in universe and on the server. The strange part is the user is either sitting at TCL or at an INPUT prompt when this happens and then the cpu usage for that port goes through the roof. It will consume all available cpu until someone physically logs into the server and kills the process in Task Manager.

In my little bit of testing I found that you don't want to be messing with these very often after you set them. Jeff, are you suggesting that I can use an index instead of a trigger.

HTH T From: Mike Roosa I am using the Windows Task Scheduler to run a job in Universe. Everything is working great except that I can't figure out how to keep the console window from opening when the uv.exe command is executed. The command I'm using to run my program is c:\ibm\uv\bin\uv.exe PHANTOM MY.PROGRAM. Is there a switch or something to indicate that the console window should not open? --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
