Episode37

Update 8/28/2011: If your system is locked up, you have to up the MAX SIGNON ALLOWED as below. After that to prevent it from happening again you run XUS PROCESS COUNT CLEANUP and have Taskman run XUS PROCESS COUNT CLEANUP periodically. Sam says every hour.

I received the dreaded Maximum number of users already signed on to this processor problem as well as a Netcall see ^XTER error (not exact message) This totally hosed my system today for a little while without warning. I used the system without a problem then used it again 2 hours later and received all these problems. My MAX SIGNON ALLOWED was 256 which apparently wasn't enough. I increased it to 9999 and it worked. Below is the terminal session for exactly how you increase this parameter and fix the problem:

In most cases, this means the peer process (i.e., the one on the MUMPS side) terminated abnormally due to an error, and the connection was lost. You can either review the error log through the menu system or (as is more common) with D ^XTER. This will allow you to see what the error was, what the process environment lookeed like (i.e., get a dump of the symbol table) and stack trace. This information can be invaluable in tracking down problems. It may seem overwhelming at first, but an experienced developer can often see the problem in minutes or seconds this way. Of course, fixing it may be another matter. :)

The system just goes kerplunk and stayed there without warning until I upped the MAX SIGNON ALLOWED to 9999 from 256. It has been running for months without problems.

Are you not able to increase the maximum number of users?

Bear in mind that this is a system administration task. It is to be expected that adminisrative tasks will require you to log in to the character mode interface.

Now, in principle, it is possible to develop a GUI administrative console, and this is becoming more and more common. For example, Weblogic and Glassfish have them. But VistA does not.

This is treating the symptom. You'll need to find the cause. Did you perform a system status to see how many and what processes were running which would cause the previous limit to be reached?

It's kinda of like finding an unconscious patient with shortness of breath. You keep giving them more oxygen however until you roll them over and find the sucking chest wound the cause is not being treated. When you treat the cause then the symptoms will subside. Put another way this parameter is your "canary in the coal mine".

I was under the impression that Max Signon would be the number of people on the system at once, not a cumulative total which sounds like what is happening. Maybe some step in the code is not working correctly here?

Do you have more folks signed on than allowed? If not, did you identify the source of the problem?

If I was qualified to diagnose and identify the exact source of the problem I wouldn't be asking here. I am not the only one that has reported this problem. I am the only one that I know of to publish in detail exactly how you slap a band-aid on it. I do wonder what resources WorldVistA is bringing to bear to at least investigate this and hopefully fix it and put the fix in the main line distribution in a timely manner? I would fix it myself it I had the skills, knowledge and experience. I do not have those yet. -- IV

My suggestion would have been to get an expert on your system at the time it happened to see if the problem could have been diagnosed. It could well have had nothing to do with VistA at all and the fix that you thought you made for the problem may not have really been what really fixed it.

This can be found by searching the documentation in the VistA Documentation library available online. 256 might be too low depending upon what your server is being used for. 9999 might be too high to be helpful in flagging that there is a problem with your system.

Do you think that with your server setup that 256 processes is excessive and might signal there is a system problem instead of a VistA problem? Do you think that 9999 is too high?

1. Get all the Active Jobs

W $$ACTJ^%ZOSV

2. Get the Available Jobs

W $$AVJ^%ZOSV

You can manage the count based on this result.

Also, Can you please post the error message you are getting while facing the Maximum User problem?.

You can do ^XTER - D ^XTER, for getting more details.

This is the only software-caused downtime that I have had in the past 10 months.

It appears as though for some reason the counter for this is inaccurate. It shows a large number of signed on users/processes (like in the 700's) when in reality there is only 8 or so. This may be due to a missing Taskman process that clears things but I am not sure. What program sets the count? Does anyone know if there is a process that runs and clears this?

If you know the global variable that counts number of users, mupip journal extract on that variable from the journal files may be informative.
