Load testing issue – suspended orchs

Hello,

I have a working solution that contains 3 orchestrations. I drop files in 1 by 1 to the in folder and everything works fine, the orchestration insert the data into my SQL Server tables. Then when i tried to drop 4 files in all at once the 1st one worked and the next 3 failed. I was working on a virtual PC, my PC at work only had 512 ram & that was split between my virtual PC running Windows server 2003 & my normal windows XP so as you could imagine everything is at a crawl.

Came home & tried on my home PC with 650 mb ram dedicated to the virtual PC and i could drop 4 files in at a time and they all worked fine. THen i pushed the pace by droping 8 files all at once, the 1st one worked and the next 7 failed (suspended orchs), tthen every file after that fails until i terminate the suspended orchs. My orchestrations uses a custom functoid I downloaded inside a map called Stored Procedure Runned (written by a microsoft team member i believe) at the bottom of this post is the error messages i receive.

Anyone ever see something like this? Should I be concearned? Cause I am! Am I dropping too many files to quickly? Could it just RAM issue and wont happen in a production environment with a real server? ANY info is appreciated!!!

We have an already existing solution that pulls files from FTP across our firewall into the network. I don’t know the details of this program & I am not sure if it runs on a schedule. I’m worried it could run & pull like 100 files all at once and then drop them in my IN folder.

Thanks in advance for any responses!!

Error Message… (seems to be on the Stored Procedure Runner functoid code)
