We are on 10.3.1 and have users who are essentially locking up or the system is logging them off. We have been advised by GE that the error messages that staff receive resulting in the freezing or shutting down, are known issues. Their suggestion is that we restart JBOSS every night. Is anyone else restarting JBOSS on a daily basis or having similar issues?

We are an EMR 9.5 shop and we bounce JBoss every hour (which is probably a little excessive) but we don't have any issues (knock on wood).

We experience freezing of many different flavors on a daily basis. We are still on 10.1.2.211.
In addition to the ridiculous workstation system requirements (4GB of ram (on a 32-bit system which cant even use 4GB) dedicated video with lots of video ram) GE has also recommended to us to restart the JBOSS server every night. I did that for a while, then once a week, and now I have stopped. Why? Because it didn’t make any difference! We still had (have) the same freezes and issues when restarting it every night.
In the last few months I have had many unhappy conversations with GE support and one thing a lot of them said is that 10.1.3 is supposed to fix a ton of stuff. I am not so convinced!
Unlike CPS 10 on SQL the oracle EMR (9.5 and below) has been solid as a rock for us for 10+ years, so I suspect that is why you are not having problems with it.

In our experience, 10.1.3 actually fixed the DTS service, but nothing else is noticeably different from previous service packs

We had all kinds of problems with CWS in 9.2 - the move to JBoss in 9.5 made it much better but we did have some early issues. I can't remember what they were but JBoss has been much more solid that the previous CWS back end.

I started rebooting our JBoss server every night a few months ago and noticed some performance and stability improvements. I also have our terminal servers rebooting every night. Our database server reboots every Saturday. All of these reboots did seem to help some. The biggest improvement I've seen was with SP3 which I installed a few weeks ago. JBoss is using a third of the RAM it was, the CPU usage is much less as well. In my experience 10.1.3 has resolved a good many performance and stability issues.

We dont (yet) use the CWS. We have yet to upgrade to 10.1.3, I plan to do it in the next few weeks. Having to reboot servers that often means something is wrong (ie memory leak, whatever) I AM however glad (even excited/optimistic) to hear that it fixed some issues for you, so fingers crossed!
