BLOB_FILE_CLOSE - Translation needed

Post by gtonkin »

Can anyone shed some light on the below messages (google seems to be stumm on these):

4104 [370] DEBUG 2014-09-02 06:12:05.735 TM1.Blob CommitDeferredFileCommand - BLOB_FILE_CLOSE is pending all blob readers to drain out. Any updates will not be fully committed until this happens or the server is shutdown.

We did look at the following and try to ensure we were not have any of the symptoms described: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.w ... wg21457685

This is happening on 10.2.2 Windows - security is intergrated login, Kerberos - not using applications or CAM for anything.

Thanks in advance.
BR, George.

I have exactly the same issue. Same version, 10.2.2. Have you put a ticket in with IBM yet?

I have note logged anything with IBM yet as I am unsure as to whether or not there is an issue here.

I wouldn't be too worried about the TM1.Blob references (particularly as they are only a DEBUG level message.)

However I would be very concerned about the Stack Overflow message, search this forum on Stack Overflows as there are a few good posts covering the topic, then you will need to go through your rules/feeders.

Blob-files ("TM1.Blob") are heavily used by TM1 for many things. For instance, to store the formatting information of a Rules file (*.RUX) or as pointers to some file in the Application Organizer. The file extension of a Blob-file is *.blb. Some file operations, (i.e. to create a new .blb file or to open, edit and close an existing .blb file), are expensive in terms of TM1 server performance. Thus these file operations are not executed on demand, but instead are deferred/delayed for some seconds/minutes (CommitDeferredFileCommand) until a time period the TM1 server is less busy and thus can "afford" to execute them.

This is a normal behavior.
