DPS Becomes Unresponsive and Only Processes CONNECT and BIND Requests (Doc ID 2323901.1)

Last updated on MAY 04, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition - Version 11.1.1.7.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Directory Proxy Server becomes unresponsive, but continues to accept incoming CONNECT and BIND requests. The DPS process shows little to no CPU utilization. The DPS access log shows that incoming connections continue to be reported, but no further LDAP activity is logged...

If the unresponsive event is allowed to continue without manual administrative intervention, then the DPS errors log may eventually report the following message...

[19/Jul/2017:12:01:59 -0500] - PROCESSING - WARN - WorkerQueue full. Suspending connection handlers

Jstack data captured during an unresponsive event reveals that all DPS worker threads are "stuck" in the same state...
