BESClient hanging for over an hour

Hi,

ReportTimer EvaluateProperties is taking over an hour elapsed, this can be whilst no tasks are being run or it can be during a task:

Whilst hanging, nothing is logged, even with debug logging of 10000. A Force Refresh doesn’t get through although is processed once it stops hanging.

If this happens during a task running it the task just hangs too, which can be after a batch script has been run using waithidden. The batch script completes but nothing appears in the log to confirm exit code etc until the EvaluateProperties has stopped hanging.

What could be causing EvaluateProperties to hang like this?

Thanks

You likely have a property that takes a long time to evaluate, such as an analysis that searches for files on the filesystem.

There is a way to retrieve which properties are taking a long time to evaluate. There are postings about it on this forum, but it may take me a while to look them up.

Wellb maybe not that long. Have a look at Evaluation Cycle of Client Overly-Extensive

Awesome thank you… I’ve identified a couple of rogue properties that I have cleaned up.

I stripped off the following texts of firsts ": " which I think shows me a time, highest so far is 50512.144, which I guess is milliseconds?
