Hi,
There can be multiple ways to troubleshoot it 1. Enable AeTrace logging, to determine what work it is performing when it stops. If it is processing an entry from the Application Pending form, you can export that entry to an ARX file, then delete it, and determine if it was just one record which was causing the problem AE-Trace: ON AE-Trace-File: /<path>/AeTrace.log AE-Log-File: /<path>/ae.log AE-Log: ON Note: These log quickly grow large which will impact AR Server performance 2. Check whether the Dispatcher process is running. The server process is named apsvcdsp, and should be run from armonitor. Enable the dispatch logging by adding a line to ar.cfg/ar.conf: Dispatch-Log-File: <path>/dispatch.log and run the Dispatcher manually. Also, there is one Known Assignment Engine Defect SW00318890 - "Assignment Engine crashes if there are records in Application Pending that use an Inactive Process" Workaround: Leave all "out of the box" ITSM 7.x Assignment Engine Processes as Active from Assignment Engine Administration. If you want to turn off automatic individual assignment, then use the Application Administration Console to configure the various applications to NOT use the Assignment Engine Integration (i.e. set it to "No").

Of late we have been observing regular ARS hangs. arerror log only says Dispatch,BRIE,Assignment engine timeouts(ARERR 93). Further the ARMonitor log has the below entry each time the issue occurs. Wed Aug 1 04:33:37 2012 (ARNOTE 0) Wed Aug 1 04:33:37 2012 ARMonitor child process (pid:23119) died with 65280. ./apsvcae.sh Does above entry in ARMonitor log suggest something wrong with assignment engine? When we manually restart the arservice, it works well and after a month or so the issue occurs again. Any suggestions on how we can debug? We don't have any server side logging enabled as issue occurs randomly- once in a month or 45 days. Server details : Server group of 3 servers(Solaris os), ARS 7.1 Patch 9 and ITSM 6.3.
