Those 15 might be the bugs in your stew...ARValidateFormCache, if I'm not
mistaken is a 'resource intensive' action...you didn't say if you were ITSM
or not, but those forms are huge and could in theory cause problems.  Are
you guys Windows/Solaris/...?

If we had any users on an older client it would only be about 15 users.  The
remaining 400 go through Citrix and that client was upgraded to 7.1 patch 7
all all of our Citrix servers.

I have never run on a Citrix server before. Do all users share a home
directory? Would the cache files get removed at any point?

Re: ARVALIDATE Cache and Performance Issues

The ARValidateFormCache will be executed everytime you open a form. It
will be a quick call if the cache is up to date and it will do an ARExport
if its not. If you are seeing ARValidateFormCache taking longer than half
a second then contact BMC. I found that on our system the ARExport hit the
server a lot harder than the ARValidateFormCache.

OkI would recommend writing an AL on your home page that checks if
$VERSION$ != "Expected version", and have it throw a message to the user
saying they need to upgrade, and run a log or send an email or something to

Also I checked the logs and the ARExport is not showing up every time
the ARValidateFormCache is showing up.

We updated both at the same time to patch 7.  We are using mid-tier, native
clients, but more users go through Citrix which is also version 7.1.

do you remember if there was a fix for that?

Re: ARVALIDATE Cache and Performance Issues

2009-11-03 Thread danny . kellett
This is the client checking to see if the cache you have is the most up to
date information you have on the workflow. If there is a newer version on
the AR Server then it will issue an ARExport etc.

If you believe the workflow has not changed then make sure you delete your
local .arv and .arf files.

Kind regards
Danny

Jaimie,
Did you upgrade just the server or the clients as well?  What patch of 7.1
did you go to, are you Native clients or Mid-Tier.  I seem to remember a bug
in the initial release 7.1, or was it with mismatched client/server...but
either way the client re-cached EVERY time a form was opened instead of
using its already received cache...

ARVALIDATE Cache and Performance Issues

2009-11-03 Thread jaimie
We upgraded from 6.3 to 7.1 recently without changing any workflow or
functions.   Since that time, our server keeps hanging and sometimes
crashing.   We realized that we didn't have enough CPUs for 7.1 last
week and so we added additional CPUs and oddly enough it just made our
situation worse.   We have contacted BMC but they are not responding
very quickly and we have done everything that they have come back
with.   Looking at our API logs, we noticed that ARValidateCache is
showing up quite frequently.  Can anyone please explain to me what
that means or what it applies to.   I read in the manuals about it,
but I would like to know more about the purpose and why it would keep
showing up everytime we start having a server freeze.

Thank you
