This is a follow up to two blog posts from back in 2009 which talked about leaked connections.  In Part 1 and Part 2 of that post, it was about how to determine that you actually filled your pool.  This was centered around the following error:

Exception type: System.InvalidOperationException
Message: Timeout expired.  The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool.  This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached.
InnerException: <none>

The issue I just worked on was the same exception, but in the case the Pools were not exhausted. In this case, the issue was occurring within BizTalk 2006 R2.  We narrowed this down to the following exception:

0:138> !pe e09e13f0
Exception object: 00000000e09e13f0
Exception type: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException

The end result was to either increase the connection timeout for that connection string, or to look at the performance on the SQL Server and determine why SQL wasn’t able to satisfy the connection.  The customer had indicated that this occurred at the month end operations, which probably means that we ramped up pressure on SQL Server.  It may have come down to us not having enough Workers within SQL to handle the connection request which resulted in a Timeout after the default timeout which is 15 seconds.

Techie details:



This will look at how we determined what the problem was once we had a memory dump of the process. These debugging instructions are based on a 64-bit dump.  The steps should be similar for a 32-bit dump as well.  For the dumps, we used the SOS debugging extension which ships with the .NET Framework.  You can load the extension in the debugger by using the following command:

0:000> .loadby sos mscorwks



Let’s first find the Connection Pools that are in the dump:

0:138> !dumpheap -stat -type DbConnectionPool

000006428281fce8        4          416 System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionPool+TransactedConnectionPool
000006428085dbc8       28          672 System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionPoolCounters+Counter
000006428281f6d8        8          704 System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionPool+PoolWaitHandles
0000064282810450        4          704 System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionPool
000006428281d320      165         5280 System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionPoolIdentity



This shows the MethodTable that we can use to go get the different items.  Of note, you may see multiple items, and may have to go through each one.

We have 4 pools.  Let’s have a look at each pool and see how many connections we have for each.

Pool 1:

The connection pools are dictated by the Connection String used.  So, this means 4 different connection strings were used.  We can look at the stack objects to see if we can pick apart some more information.

In this case, we know the SqlConnection isn’t valid because we erred trying to get it from the Pool.  The Command Text would be interesting has this been a Query timeout, but for a connection Timeout, it is irrelevant.  We can poke at the strings on the stack and we will find the Connection String used for this operation.

From this, we can see Max Pool Size is at 500, so that narrows it down to two of the four Pools listed above. When we went through the pools previously, I noticed that one of the pools had something that the others didn’t.  And, it happened to be one of the pools with the Pool Size of 500.  Let’s look at the full input of the pool in question.

First, lets see if we can line up the connection string for this Pool with what was on the stack to make sure we are looking at the right pool.

We have a match!  So, now lets look at the error that was on the pool.

As we can see, it is a normal Connection Timeout error.  Which makes sense, as our pools were not exhausted.  Of note, they had set their Connection Timeout to 25 seconds in the connection string.  Which means they would need to bump it higher, or look at what is going on with SQL Server at the time this occurs.  Not much more we can get from the dump.
