SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 62807: The software stops responding, experiences connection leaks, and crashes when you refresh the object spawners
 |  |  |  |  |
You experience connection leaks, software that stops responding, and crashes when you refresh object spawners that manage a large number of load-balanced servers. These issues were observed in an environment with 1,200 application server contexts, each containing a load-balanced workspace server definition.
When you encounter this issue, you might see the following exceptions in the object spawner logs during the refresh process:
ERROR:sas - Critical TK KERNEL error
<Exceptions><Exception><SASMessage severity="Error">The outcall request initiated on the bridge protocol engine listen thread. This request cannot proceed due to possible server deadlock.</SASMessage></Exception></Exceptions>
To work around this issue, refresh application server contexts as needed rather than refreshing the object spawners.
