We currently get about 400,00 hits per day on a cluster of CF 4 servers we have and about 900,000 transactions per day to our 3 read MS SQL7 databases. I have developed about 40 stored procedures that limited about 90% of the CFQUERIES to Stored procs. My questions is about 20 times a day we get errors that refer to the stored proc and refer to a Communication link failure or a Serialization error. Anyone know what this is? I do not a a pattern between Procs, CF Server, Read Databases, Browsers, Date/Time, or datasource... Just happens on it's own.. Begin the actually message.....
