W3wp Causing Memory Paging, Crash On Reportserver?
Jan 29, 2007
Summary: We host reports off of one server that are accessed and refreshed 24/7/365. On a daily basis, I receive calls about reports taking several minutes to run IF they run at all. (normally these reports take seconds). There has yet to be an actual "error message" associated with this behavior. When I check the server at these times, I will find that w3wp.exe process is taking up about 4G and is causing paging. It seems that once it gets to that point, it will kill itself and all goes back to normal. However, it's a slow death and is impacting business.
We're using MSRS 2005. Hosting the reports is the job of this server--no other applications are hitting it. There is a development SQL db on the box, but not in use at this time. The datasources in most cases are stored procedures housed on another box. The web interface (for end users running the report) is hosted on a third server.
Our monitoring tool shows that our production system periodically experiencing large rate - up to 800 memory pages/sec. How to find out which particular queries, S.P., processes that initiate this?
I installed Sql Server 2000 on a Windows 2003 machine and everythingappeared to be fine. It has Sql Server SP4 and Windows 2003 SP1 installed.The problem occurs whenever I use Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer formore than a few minutes. After a while, all internet connectivity on theserver machine is broken. I cannot connect to it through Enterprise Manager,and on the machine itself, nothing related to the internet works at all.There are no errors in the Windows log or the Sql log. Disabling andenabling the Ethernet adapter fixes connectivity, until the next time I useEnterprise Manager for a while. What is going on?The machine is a Dell PowerEdge SC420 with a BroadCom NetXtreme Gigabitadapter and Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition.
I have several versions of SQL Server and have been using SQL 2008 on a regular basis due to this issue. Our SQL 2014 when I do the Import Data process, it opens up the dialog window, hit next, and the data source is currently defaulting to ".NET Framework Data Provider for IBM i" - when it does this it immediately errors out with:
"An error occurred which the SQL Server Integration Services Wizard was not prepared to handle.
Additional Information: > Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation (mscrolib) >> Failed to find or load the registered .NET Framework Data Provider (System.Data)"
It immediately crashes/closes the Import/Export wizard with me unable to change the data source to what I need it to be.
My 2008 defaults to SQL Server Native Client 10.0 and does allow me to change to that same option (at which point it errors) but it does not close the wizard.
I need a way to either:
> Default the starting Data Source to be something else > Fix whatever error is causing it to crash - I am at a loss as to what the error is looking for > Not have the wizard crash whenever it defaults to this source.
Any of the above solutions would work fine - but at the moment I am unable to use the Import/Export wizard at all in SQL 2014.
Hi everybody !I´m maintaining a large intranet (approx 10000 concurrent users) running onone IIS box and one DB box with sqlserver 2000.Currently there is 2,5 GB Ram, 1 1400 mhz cpu and 2 scsi disks installed onthe db box.Sqlserver is set to use max 1,4 GB RAM, and the sqlserver does not seem tobe using it all.Currently SQLSERVER 2000 crashes at least once a day.Its very weird, I run performance monitor with counters on, memory, diskusage, num users, locks and such.There is no indications in the counters before the crashes, they just happenvery sudden.Only indication is that sqlserver makes some huge jumps in memory usage andmostly the sqlserver then crashes an hour or 2 later.The only thing that peaks a lot are the locks/sec counter.My analysis of disk usage, queues etc. tells me i got no kind of i/obottlenecks.Can anybody give me a clue as to what i should do ?Best regards, Thue
I have been having issues with our SQL server for awhile now. It seems to run out of memory every few days and when I look at the memory dump, the MEMORYCLERK_SQLOPTIMIZER seem to take over memory and eventually cause the server to crash.
Here is the SQL verison we are using: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3460.0 (X64) Jul 22 2014 15:22:00 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2 (Build 9200: ) (Hypervisor)..It is on a VM on Windows 2012 server. It has 20gb of RAM allocated to it and the MAX Server Memory is set to 16.5gb.
I have seen the MEMORYCLERK_SQLOPTIMIZER grow to about 11gb at the time of the server crash. Why that is happening? What is causing the memoryclerk_sqloptimizer to get so high? I have looked it up and it looks like it has to do with ad hoc requests, but is there something I can do to bring that memory down when it gets so high so that I can prevent a server crash?Do we just need to add more memory or is there a memory leak somewhere?
This morning msmdsrv.exe looked like the following in Task Manager:
Memory Usage: 600,000 K
VM Size: 2,500,000 K
If I understand correctly, that means that a good deal of SSAS memory has been swapped to disk by the OS. Is there any way to prevent this? (I have read about using the Lock Pages In Memory privilege at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179301.aspx which lets SQL prevent the OS from paging sqlservr.exe memory. I don't suppose there's an equivalent SSAS setting.)
In particular, the symptom I'm seeing is that after we finish processing, all that paged memory has to be loaded back into memory before the transaction can be committed. Committing the transaction is usually very quick. But when most of the SSAS process memory is pages, it takes quite a while, during which I can see the Memory Usage number in Task Manager growing. (I don't think it's a blocked transaction commit.)
Are there any *negative* consequences to SQL Server 2000 Standardpaging to disk more often if one reduces the amount of available RAMfrom 2.0 GB to 1.5 GB to give the OS and other apps enough RAM, otherthan things possibly being "slower" and whatever wear and tear couldhappen to the disk drives??Or is it better to add in more RAM per se to bring the server up to 4GB (Win2k3 Svr SP1)?? (it has a 4GB pagefile)Is any information available about judging how much RAM the OS (Windows2003 Server) should have available?? Does IIS require a lot of RAM??Thank you, Tom
SQL 2005 Std, 8gb ram, boot ini switches for /PAE and /3GB, AWE enabled and the min/max memory settings for a single instance respectively set to 1024 and 7168. Performance-wise the system is a bit slower than before (with SQL2000) and there seems to be alot of paging. The SQL service is also running under the "LocalSystem". In this case, do I need to specify the local "SYSTEM" to have rights to "Lock pages in memory"? I have a feeling there is a misconfiguration somewhere. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
Anyone knows what the size should the Paging File be for a 8 P 16 Core Opteron server with 128GB memory installed? The server will be running SQL 05 Ent and IIS, on top of Win2k3 R2 x64 Ent.
We have several 2005 servers with "Maximum server memory" set to 214 gig, which I believe is the default at installation time. I am told that this means "use all the memory there is including paging." Well, this is nuts but the servers seem to work fine with this setting no matter how much physical memory they have.
One of our 2005 servers recently started paging like crazy, so I reduced "Maximum server memory" to 6000 and the paging disappeared (server has 8 gig of physical memory) and the server appears happy.
I can not explain why only this one server has this paging issue and the others do not. Should I be setting "Maximum server memory" on all my servers? Are there other considerations which might cause the server to eat-up all the memory? As far as I know no other applications run on this box.
We are using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services for all our reporting. I have noticed sometimes the W3WP.exe starts hogging memory and reaches to 4 GB and that causes the reports portal to not respond and become really slow and report users start complaining.
We have a Windows Server 2003 R2 SP1, total of 4 GB RAM. We are using a 64 bit OS and 64 bit SQL Server. Is this a known issue in 64 bit version. Whats the resolution.? Will the SP2 fix this issue?
We only have the report server websiterunning in IIS.
The DefaultAppPool settings for IIS are checked as follows:
Recycle worker processes in minutes: 1740
Performance: Limit kernel request queue (number of requests): 1000
We also see intermittent warning and informational messages like the following in the windows event viewer:
A process serving application pool 'DefaultAppPool' exceeded time limits during shut down. The process id was '5256'.
A worker process with process id of '5256' serving application pool 'DefaultAppPool' has requested a recycle because the worker process reached its allowed processing time limit.
Please help everytime i call http://servername/reportserver it is presenting the login screen, if i enter the username and password then i can access the reportserver screen, same with reportmanager tool.
under iis manager for the reportserver virtual directory i have given anonymous login access.
do i have to set any other extra permissions other than anonymous login(iusr_machinenname)

System 2003 Server IIS6 and Sql2005 enterprise all housed on Virtual Server. all housed locally.
I have setup SSRS 2000 and gotten it to work but I am having trouble with SSRS 2005. I can't access to reportserver anywhere on the network. The only way to get to reportserver is termserv into the server and hit it with http://localhost/reportserver The server is Windows 2003 server Standard Ed. running SQL 2005 SP2 and Sharepoint Portal Server 2007. Can somebody please help? Thank you.
Hello. I have received the follwoing error upon an attempt to Browse the Cube. All other tabs are functional, including the Calculations tab. We are running Windows Server 2003 SP2 and SQL Server 2005 SP2. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
**EDIT** - Have confirmed SP1 for VS2005 is installed both locally and on server, also.

I've been researching AWE to determine if we should enable this for our environment.
Currently we have a quad core box with 4 gb of RAM (VMware). OS: Windows 2003 std, SQL Server 2005 std. 3GB is not set but will be as soon as we can perform maintenance on the server.
I have read mixed feedback on AWE, either it works great or grinds you to a hault. I would assume that the grinding to a hault is due to not setting the min/max values correctly or not enabling the lock page in memory setting.
We only have one instance of SQL on the server and this box won't be used for anything else aside from hosting SQL services. We do plan on running SSRS off of this server as well.
1. Will running SSRS and enabling AWE cause me problems? Will I have to reduce the max setting by the SSRS memory usage or will it share and play nice?
2. How do I go about setting the Max value? Should it be less than the physical RAM in the box? Right now its set to the default of 214748364, even if I don't enable AWE should this default value be changed?
3. It seems that even at idle the SQL server holds a lot of memory and the page file grows. If I restart the process in the morning, memory usage in taskmon is at 600mb or so. By the end of the day, its up around 2gb. How can I track down whats causing this, should this even concern me?
4. The lock Page in memory setting worries me. Everything I've read on this seems to give a warning about serious OS and other program support degradation. In some cases to the point where they have to restore the settings on the server before they can bring it back up. What are your thoughts on this.
I have a Windows sever 2012 with sql server 2012 enterprise. Ram size is 22GB. Sometimes SQL sever takes 95% memory.My question, How to reduce memory size without killing any process because it's production server.So there are many background process is running. And,Is there any guides to learn why Memory is raise d so high and how to reduce it.
Hi my name is Rodrigo and Im from Brasil, so, sorry about my english.
I have a problem using MSSQL 2000. I´m using a client/server application, and sometimes (almost every day) the sql server start to use 100% of CPU and crash the system. I don´t know how and when but it hapens always. I never found a reason for it, but looking at the event viewer in windows 2000 i saw an error about www publishing (something like that). Maybe my sqlserver is trying to connect to internet to do something (i don´t know). Please if somebody can help me send me a mail. Thanks a lot.
Hi, I'm trying to install SQL Server 2000 Dev Edn. When I install client and server tools it will crash after I enter the administration password. But this only happens when I install it with server tools, its OK with just client tools. Thanks
My Sql server went down last night. Is there a way to find out what could have caused system to crash? Is there any way to notify the DBA when sql services have stopped running?
Recently my computer had a crash on which SQL Server was installed. And if that wasn't enough, the backup failed to. Now I've installed SQL Server again, but I have these *.mdf and *.ldf files, which contains my data and my tables etc. So my question is, how do I get this data into my newly installed SQL Server? Maybe it's quite simple, but I can't find it. Im using SQL Server Enterprise version 7.0 on Win2k Advanced Server.
Hi, My sql server stopped unexpectedly and restarted itself today, and I have no clue why. The NT Event Viewer provides this "insight":
The MSSQLService terminated unexpectedly.
The event id is 17052, which isn't documented in BOL. Does anyone have any explanation, and some suggestions on how to avoid this in the future? thanks, Jason
Does anyone have any input on why my SQL Server keeps crashing?

I got the following message in the error log when SQL Server 6.5 crashed.
