GetCommerceSites and GetWebSites Cause Added Memory Use in IIS (240058)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition

This article was previously published under Q240058

SYMPTOMS

Commerce Server may run out of metabase handles, which causes a memory leak, if the GetCommerceSites() or GetWebSites() methods of the Commerce.AdminWebServer component are called. This makes it impossible to retrieve the list of commerce sites.

CAUSE

Each time the GetCommerceSites and GetWebSites methods are called, four semaphores are created in the Inetinfo process. These semaphores are not released until the calling application is removed from memory.

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Site Server 3.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
