Author HIGH CPU for a WAS procces

2007-08-07, 1:18 pm

Hi,

I've been having some problems with WAS. A Java procces is running and is at 366% CPU. I've been having this problem for a while now. I turn off and restart WAS using standard and safe procedures and the problems dissapears. After a while (7-8 days) the p
roblem reapears. I want to know if i can find a solution to this problem before i contact a WAS tehnical support specialist. I know that 7-8 days seems like acceptable for a restart... but sometimes i can't afford one. I would appreciate any help you cand
give me.


Thank you,
Paul

Could be that the application enters a busy loop or has a memory issue
causing excessive GC.

The Troubleshooting Guide
(http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docvie...uid=swg27005324) has good
instructions to spot busy threads or memory issues.

Can I get a copy of your WAS? I'd love to be able to run at 366% CPU :-)

Right way: get a profiler, find out what is burning CPU
Poor man's way: do a thread dump, see what threads are running, see what
doesn't look reasonable.

Memory leak and, as the result, GC is running all the time? This does fit the symptom "it gets back
to norm after restart for a while, but then..."

I'm sorry that i didn't mention i use WAS 5.1.1 CF 13. on AIX 5.2.0.0. I think i'm gonna go with CF15. I saw that many had this problem before and what u guys said is not a solution.

Also is there a reason why this should happen not necesarily on high traffic? WAS is handling lots of processing perfectly then when he hasn't got so many processes to run it jams. And i don't know what GC is.
Thank you,

GC = garbage collection. If you're working with a J2EE appserver you
need to get some understanding of how JVMs work, and also of how
appservers share resources such as threads and connections. This may
explain some of the things you are seeing.
