I began running into this error daily when I upgraded to H14 - have you done so 
as well?. I had never seen a collection error like Shahla describes up until 
that point and the collections did not change. I did go back through and 
optimize the criteria and the errors seem to have dissipated, though I'll have 
to watch it for a few more days to confirm it. I also have a hunch that it was 
related to my random SS crashes insofar as that if a couple of them decided to 
fire up and update at the same time, the stress may have been too much for the 
SS process to handle. We'll see if that calms down as well.

On another note related H14 however, when I opened a call with CA, they did 
indicate that they have seen issues in some customer sites with the 
SpectroServer.exe in that patch. Apparently its related to some memory 
management binaries that are included in the executable. They sent me one that 
is compiled without it which also seems to have helped the random SS crashes.

Shahla,

Did you recently modify the search criteria on the global collection? If
you accidentally put an "OR" where you meant to have an "AND" you could
easily end with an overwhelmingly large global collection. This is
because Spectrum will not only model devices in global collections, but
will also find any Applications, Ports, etc that match the criteria.
When this happens in our environment (3000+ network devices) it actually
causes the whole spectroserver to crash usually.

My suggestion is to double check the numbers and criteria on your
collection if it's a dynamically updating one.
