Hi,

It seems if the PowerServer web application did not exit out clean, it causes the database transaction locked the unfinished process and tables. Is there any setting we can do to prevent this issue?

Thanks,

Jon

Mike is exactly right. There is a doc Performance Tuning Guide that outlines how dangerous long transactions are. You definitely have a long transaction.

Another option is to convert the data access/transaction logic into a REST API using PowerScript Migrator so it executes on the server and call the REST API with the RESTClient object.

Thank you! We do have a long transaction because there are application process that may take over 30 minutes.

You should create a list of those long running transactions and review what can be done to make them either run under 10 minutes or so, OR better yet, offload them to another process such as a batch process or web api.

yes, if your application crashed in the middle of a transaction, then the locks will be held until the timeout is reached.  

make sure your application commits as soon as it can and doesn't leave open any transactions when it doesn't need to. really no different than client/server.

 

Other than that, you may want to adjust the timeouts in AEM.

Hi Jon;

   Assuming that your PB Web App issued a successful  Commit or Rollback command followed by a Disconnect DML command, the DBMS transaction should be completed with no locks held.

  Have you checked the PowerServer Logs via the AEM (PS Console) web App for PowerServer to see if there might be some underlying issues preventing the DB Transaction from completing normally?

Regards ... Chris
