<@knocking object=wood> We took our hexed 10.2.8 server down yesterday and upgraded to 10.3.8 and latest myodbc drivers. Said a few extra prayers just in case and wore lucky beenie.
Started up and ran fine. Then watched to see if it properly disconnected to datasources. Unlike previous behavior, it disconnects on time and has no overaged connections and hung threads. Stressed it by launching a taf on another server that hits this one with 10 <@URL>s at once, which opens 10 data connections. They all closed on time without any CPU usage spikes, hung threads, or any of the mess we were seeing previously. (Actually, most of the time, the 10 <@URL> didn't open 10 connections as they were served so fast they were all handled by one or two connections.) I've pounded a few times like this and can't provoke it's old behaviors. One day in, and it's looking cured. </@knocking> On 3/28/05 4:25 AM, "Dale E Graham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Another vote of confidence for OS X.
