Hanging Jobs

Post by admin »

Hi,
We are having a problem with our ds server. Some jobs hangs and they cause problems with other people connecting. For the admin to release this jobs, he always have to reboot the server. is there a way to find out and release hanging jobs without having to reboot the server? Any Ideas?

Hi Dave,

did you have an overview over the options of the smat command. I found no
topics by e.Service and in the documentation.

Regards,
Udo

More than likely, something is causing a problem whereby a semaphore
is being corrupted. This would then cause new users who log in to get
hung up waiting for the semaphore to be released against a critical
resource (could be a file/record semaphore, or a particular one called
the Login Semaphore).

You could try going into the DS Server home directory (as defined by
the DSHOME environment variable) and issuing a 'bin/smat -s' command.
This will list out the status of all semaphores. What you would likely
see
is under the 'State' column, a non-zero number for one of the
semaphores.

One thing to try, if this happens, is to run the DS Deadlock Daemon, via
the 'bin/dsdlockd' command, as one of it's responsibilities is to
identify and
clean up such a condition.

I do seem to remember there being an issue with the Solaris OS that
required
an OS patch for something similar to this, so I'd contact the support
Team,
as they may know of something.

Dave
