iControl Server Thread Safe ?

Our iControl server is implemented as a singleton with a single FIFO queue as an accessor. You can make parallel requests to the administration web server but it will buffer requests to only allow one at a time.

 

 

If you are passing multiple requests in and are in fact getting all responses back but only one containing data, then I'm a bit at a loss as how that could be. If the ssl dump is only showing one request into the server then are you positive the request is making it from your code into the server? How are the fields in the SOAP message getting populated with empty values if no request is made to the server.

 

 

I've personally tested our servers with apachebench and haven't come across any issues with parallel requests. If you indeed determine by a network trace on the BIG-IP (or the http access logs) that requests are making it in and are not returning data, then you should contact Product Technical Support where they can dig deeper into your server configuration.

 

 

I'm very interested to find out how things work out with this issue so keep in touch.
