What release of WebFocus are you running and what is the service level of the release. | |||

George, all i can offer is that, like you, we run iis5, wn2ka server, and always use isapi for our selfserv wf site and servlet for our Caster activities and our mre development activities. and we've never had this problem,in any version from 436 up to 525. But we do have a dedicated box, nothing else runs on it. We run webfocus in security protected mode, not as a service, and on reboot we always have to start caster manually. Are you running as a service? | |||

Gerry, I have also been following this problem at SSA for a while now. The WebFOCUS software involved is release 4.3.1. We are running this as a service. This problem is also evident in our Chicago regional office with their WebFOCUS setup. Chicago has upgraded to 5.2.5 and this did not solve the CGI issue. They are now looking to move to servlets.

George, Unfortunately, the likely scenario is that the isapi.dll is bringing down your webserver. It is important to know the release, since there were various memory leaks fixed using isapi after 431. ibiweb.exe would most likely not have this problem, since it is not as tightly integrated with the web server. Lets see which version your using. Regards, Ben Naphtali Strategic Support Manager Business Intelligence Products Group | |||

Ben, We originally deployed our apps using ibiweb.exe but we were forced to use isapi (webapi.dll) because our webmaster could not get the permissions correct with IWA to use ibiweb.exe. This occured after a Windows server upgrade and one of our major apps was rendered inaccessable due to permissions on the file ibiweb.exe so we switched to isapi access which worked. A second app has always used ibiweb.exe but it is not under IWA security. Maybe you are on to something. Lou | |||

Lou, I expected all of the isapi memory problems to be addressed in the release your running. If you need something running TODAY, then you can use ibiweb.exe which is process based. If there is some sort of failure in one of the connections, there is much less chance that it will affect the WebServer, and it will also work with IWA. The benefit and tradeoff of using ibiweb.exe is that it is process based. The processes are better isolated, but you have the potential to lose some performance. You should also be aware that IIS provides some protection like this as well. Depending on the version of IIS, there are different settings. IIS 5.0 provides 3 levels of Application Protection: low, medium and high. High will run applications outside of the Web Server Service. All of this does not solve the original problem, but lessens the impact. To pursue the original problem, please open a case with Customer Support. If there is some sort of reproduction, that would be helpful. If not, I'm sure we can come up with some additional diagnostics that will pinpoint the problem.
