spinning jsvc process LP 4.1
We're non clustered running RHAS3 with LP 4.1.1.28 build 28. A day ago a single jsvc process got into a state of continually running using up resources. For lack of a better term, a day later I now have 6 of those "spinning" jsvc processes. From the user standpoint the portal is responsive and works fine. Here's my top snapshot:
10:12:34 up 12 days, 6:50, 2 users, load average: 11.53, 11.62, 11.35

So you can see, I have 6 process at the top of my "top" session that are in a run state and is using 20% of cpu each. In 2 or 3 hours, i'll most likely get another one. This server has 4 cpus on it.
I'm sure a restart will clear it but I'd like to know what's causing it. I have the lambda probe installed but can't match the PID from "top" to anything in the thread list for me to "kill" off.
Any ideas?

RE JSVC Process
did you ever get any information on this. We are seeing the same issue with LP 4.2 in pre prod environment. We only have one jsvc process for the tomcat-cp which is eating 99% of the cpu.
A restart of the tomcat resolves the issue (for a time). Not a huge problem at the moment as it is pre prod - but students will be back next month and it makes me a little wary of what might happen to the production portal when all the students start hitting it.
Thanks,
James
jsvc process
We are also seeing the same randomly did anyone find out what was causing the services to hang.
Thanks

Same here
Just bumping this as we've noticed the exact same thing happening here. jsvc running around 20%, can't figure out what is causing it.
Was anyone able to find a solution for this?
JSVC Process and CPU
We are running Luminis 4.2.1.78 on RHEL 5 (yes, I said 5)... but have experienced this since the 4.1.x versions...
You can see my earlier comment in this thread which states what our problem was ...
What we finally found with the help of Sungard support is that there may bewebapps in the server.xml which are may not be being used which then should be commented out of the $CP_ROOT/products/tomcat/tomcat-cp/conf/server.xml file . . . in our case we were not using the following - after commenting them out and restarting the cp-webserver, the problem disappeared..
<Context path="/pacwa"
crossContext="true"
docBase="/xxx/xxx/webapps/pacwa"/>
<Context path="/spml"
crossContext="true"
docBase="/xxx/xxx/webapps/spml"/>
<Context path="/ws"
crossContext="true"
docBase="/xxx/xxx/webapps/webservice"/>
You should also take the chance to look at the tuning of your system at the same time - FYI our SR with Sungard should have the information in it - SR 1-556519963.
Hopefully this will assist someone having the same issues.
