Thread Monitoring

[Guest LCermak@branick-inc.com]

We have a distributed application that uses IIOP to communicate to an

application server (EAServer) running on Windows Server 2003 SP1. We

are trying to understand how the servers allocate threads for

processes and if there are any tools to monitor the threads that are

being created and used by windows. We think that at some point client

requests are waiting for a thread to become available. How can we

monitor threads and their status?

 

We have gone thru many many tests to believe that the server waits for

threads to become available. We have verified that the connection is

established from the client to the server and then may wait if the

condition above appears to be true. So is there anything we can do to

monitor the threads running in the server and those that are waiting

or being closed?

 

We have sent a memory dump to Microsoft and so far they have seen

nothing, except that our application server process is using lots of

connections.
