Lots of DB walker processes?

Post by michel.weber »

On our appliances when i look at the system information, there are 16 lines like the following :
PID PPID USER %CPU %MEM VSZ-MB RSS-MB STAT STIME TIME COMMAND
...
816 812 root 0 1.5 408 15 S 13:28 00:00:00 /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_08/bin/java -Xmx256m -jar DBWalker.jar
...

There is just one DB definition used by one walk.
What are all those line for?

Lots of DB walker processes?

It's normal for there to be multiple DBWalker processes; There are there request handlers, things to clean up the cache, etc. The "00:00:00" shows that process has used a total of 0 seconds CPU time (i.e. it hasn't hogged the cpu at all).

I don't remember there being SIXTEEN needed, and there seem to be that many in our testbed here, I'll see if I can figure out why there are so many.
