EPM.Msg.timer_thread

Description

The process manager (EPM) expects to receive a hello messages (i.e. a 'heartbeat') from each thread of every running process on a regular basis. After a sufficient amount of time (as indicated by the time periods) has elapsed since the last hello message was received from a particular thread, EPM assumes that the process is in an unresponsive state which will adversely affect the performance of the system and that terminating it will avert the situation. The occurrence of this event is sometimes is indicative of a software issue in the targeted process.

Remedy

All of the output from "show log" should be examined for the occurrence of other events that may be relevant and lead up to the occurrence of this event. If this behavior is repeatable, then capturing the output from "show process" may be helpful. Also, running the "top" command may help isolate the occurrence of the issue in order to correlate it with other process activity. The configuration relative to the targeted application process may be particularly relevant to the issue.
