Core issue
The CiscoWorks process sometimes consumes a great deal of resources.
This is normal behavior. During the initial discovery, ANI queries the devices sequentially starting at the seed device.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, take note of the "Pid" for cwjava.exe in Task Manager.
Refer to the PID output for the pdshow command, and take note of the Process name, as shown:
Process= ANIServer
State = Running with busy flag set
Pid = 5653
RC = 0
Signo = 0
Start = 09/23/04 08:33:39
Stop = Not applicable
Core = Not applicable
Info = ANIServer started.
Reduce the resources used by this process by performing one of these steps:
- Limit the number of devices managed by that process.
- Increase the polling interval.
- If possible, install the application using that process in a dedicated server.
