FM Unlimited and Web Companion

[dpccgf]

I am using FM Pro Unlimited to access databases that are hosted from FM Server. These databasess are served up using the Web Companion. Frequently FM Pro Unlimited ends up taking 99 to 100% of the CPU which forces me to reboot my web server. Can someone help?

Give us some help, my crystal ball is broken! What platform are you on and what operating system are you running?

Hello

I have exactly the same problem and am desperate for a solution. The server is running Win2000 + IIS along with Filemaker Unlimited v. 5.5. About 5-8 hours after starting Filemaker, it grabs all the CPU time and slows the server tremendously down, though it is still running and responding but it is very annoying. As I have recommended the Filemaker solution to the company I feel quite bad about it and would very much like to solve the problem.

A restart of Filemaker solves the problem, but the process just repeats itself after 5-8 hours. I can't find out any specific thing that triggers the event (though I am not sitting in front of the server myself, unfortunately).

Any hints? Post a note if you need further details on setup.

I am running the NT4 and IIS with FMU5, WSC, our security filter and 2 Mercury email servers on $500 machine + the software cost.

FM sometimes goes through -- I will call that -- garbage collection, CPU and memory are quite taxed, but everything is OK and after minutes it goes back to normal. We didn't reboot the server since it was put to heavy everyday usage -- it is running more than 5 months now.

But then again, our server wizard specifically forbids usage of W2000.
