im running ADAM in conjunction with Quest Migration Manager software. QMM
uses ADAM to store information about the migration that is running.

The migration has come to a standstill because DSAMAIN.EXE (ADAM) is
CONSTANTLY, 24 hours a day consuming 100% of the cpu.

If i stop the Quest services this drops down to a normal level so uts
obvious that QMM is hitting ADAM pretty hard but 100% 24 hours a day?!?!?

what can i do?

Personally, I usually start with a network sniff. Take a network sniff for
3-5 mins of the software hitting ADAM. Then, look at the trace to see what
the product is doing, and you can engage the vendor as needed.
If you need help reading the sniff, send it to me offline. Just drop the
online from my address.

Thx!

I second Eric, find out what it is doing and then you can pick who to complain
to. :)

Hi

you need to speak to Quest. It's probably an poorly indexed query.

The Quest KB seems to be quite helpful

see point 12 on "slow performance"

both extension attributes(14 and 15) are indexed... we set this up at the
beginning of the project.
performance was not always this bad. only as the ADAM database has grown
(almost 2GB now) is it getting worse every day.

Talk to Quest people. Obviosly their application is doing something to
ADAM -- they should help you figure out what is it that it wants to get.
