Unhandled Exception errors and timeouts on application HELP!!
apologies I will try and give you some more details - but thanks for the response so far
It is a terminal sevices application running in a .net/sql environment.
The actual application is written in vb.net there are two application servers - one is a standalone server and the other although one is a load balanced cluster of 4 servers (I think the cluster may be a set of virtual servers) We have about 400 people accessing the application at any 1 time.
The SQL server is a virtual server.
However this is a long established application that has been running for about 3 years with no issues - it is only in the last 2 weeks that we have suddenly found these errors - they have gone from being a bit of a niusance to a major issue.
The developers admit their current code is out of date and does need updating (it was written a long time ago and was one of the first applications the developer wrote so it is not very efficeient in the way it polls the database).
The main concensus of opinion however is that an increase in the resources on the SQL server would alleviate the problems - however I seem to be stuck with the server team laying all the blame at the feet of the developers and their code.
This may be the case however this application is due to be rolled out to a further 600+ people over the next 10-12 weeks and regardless of what we do to the code if the servers cannot cope with this main concurrent connections we will still have problems.
Hope this gives further information which may be of use.
