OSB - Response Pipeline Threads Are Stuck Waiting For a Semaphore (Doc ID 977426.1)

Last updated on MAY 15, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle Service Bus - Version 3.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

During high load you see stuck threads in your OSB domain.

The threads are receiving a message and are waiting for the outbound sendAsync() operation to be completed before processing it.
They are trying to acquire a semaphore but the thread which acquired (and should have released) the semaphore is not available any more.

The majority of the execute threads have the following stack trace:

"[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '394' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default
(self-tuning)'" id=431 idx=0x758 tid=472 prio=5 alive, in native, parked, daemon
