HELP!--Windows NT processes at 100%

Currently, whenever I start the IECC Server Agent service within the WinNT Services window, the CPU Usage in the Task Manager rockets up to 100%. When I looked to see who the culprit was, I discovered the "admagent.exe" process would continue to compensate for whatever CPU Usage balance was left. In other words, if all other processes accounted for 25% of the CPU, admagent.exe would adjust to 75%. If the overall processes decreased to 10%, then admagent.exe would rise to 90%. And so on, and so on....well, you get the picture. Unfortunately, this results in a bigger problem than simply a VERY slow server. When I open the IECC Console, Informix fails to detect the database server value (no blue dot). The result: Informix audit backups fail. Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated!

Bryan, Don't use IECC, it's a resource hog. Use the command line programs and dbaccess. Too bad they removed onmonitor on NT only to be replaced by a useless substitute. ------------------ Lyzander Informix DBA Bell Atlantic In article <7dp8mi$3b8$1@camel21.mindspring.com>, "Bryan Hughes" <hughesb@mindspring.com> wrote: > Currently, whenever I start the IECC Server Agent service within the WinNT > Services window, the CPU Usage in the Task Manager rockets up to 100%. > When I looked to see who the culprit was, I discovered the "admagent.exe" > process would continue to compensate for whatever CPU Usage balance was > left.

I've seen the same problem on one of my machines. After reinstalling Informix it has been cleared up. Of course that is not a good solution for our production machine. The machine in question also had a somewhat corrupted database (crashed when deleting rows from a certain table). I second Lyzander's opinion, keep away from IECC. Just spinning that ball slows the server down.
