Deadlock in Crowd + MS SQL SERVER 2012 (always on) environment

JongBum Lee

Dear All

 

 

I am using version 2.8.0 of CROWD and deadlock occurs.

 

My Environment

OS : WINDOWS Server 2012 64bit

JDK : 1.8.0_21 (64bit)

CROWD 2.8.0

Database : Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.5058.0 (X64) (WITH ALWAYS ON)

Connection Pool : 

c3p0.acquire_increment : 1

c3p0.idle_test_period : 100

c3p0.max_size : 30

c3p0.max_statements : 0

c3p0.min_size : 0

c3p0.timeout : 30

 

The error occurs when performing CROWD authentication.

 

The strange thing is that the error occurs, but the UPDATE of CWD_TOKEN, CWD_USER_ATTRIBUTE is done.

 

The same error also occurs in cwd_user_attribute table

Hello!

I understand we are seeing DB deadlocks using SQL Server 2012 with Crowd 2.8. I did not find that issue reported for Crowd, but Confluence works similarly and will throw that deadlock error when row versioning is not on: Database deadlock on Microsoft SQL Server

You can diagnose the issue with this query - it should come back as "1":

SELECT sd.is_read_committed_snapshot_on
FROM sys.databases AS sd
WHERE sd.[name] = '<database name>';

And this is the query to change it, if it is off - Important: Crowd will need to be stopped before running the ALTER statement against the database, then started again.

Configure your database to use the isolation level, Read Committed with Row Versioning. You can do this by executing the following query:

ALTER DATABASE <database name>
 SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON
 WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE;

I look forward to hearing whether the first query returns a 1 or a 0 and if it returns a 0, whether the deadlocks are eliminated after setting read_committed_snapshot to ON.

Thanks,

Ann
