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.

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.
