Build Agent consuming 100% CPU usage
Hey folks,
I've recently done an upgrade from version 5 to version 6 and am having some issues with my build agents.
I have an Ant build which is configured to run every hour, the build does a few things including a database rebuild, copying/extracting/zipping some files then starting up a JBoss server to execute a bunch of unit tests. In TC5 the build worked fine, usually taking around 20-30 minutes to complete. However when I try to run the same build under TC6, when it comes to the copying/extracting/zipping task, the CPU usage of the agent shoots up to 100% and a task that usually takes between 1-2 minutes takes up to around 30 minutes to complete. I've tried breaking up the build into multiple ant builds for the seperate tasks and it makes a marked difference; the copying/extracting/zipping task was reduced to 1-2 minutes however when it comes to starting JBoss I have the same issue with the agent. Is there any changes to the agent in TC6 which could be causing this? I have since reverted back to TC5 but would quite like to get TC6 working correctly to gain access to some of the new features.
Thansk,
Nick

Nick,
This can be caused by TW-15335. You can try with the patch attached int he issue. Also, we plan to release 6.0.3 with the fix included in about a week.
If the plugin form the issue does not help, can you please check that it is the agent process that is loading the CPU?
Excellent thanks, that seems to have done the trick!
