PRB: User Requests to Active Server Pages Serialize from the Browser

This article was previously published under Q244298

SYMPTOMS

User requests serialize when you test your Active Server Pages (ASP) pages from one instance of a browser.

-or-

In Performance Monitor, you see the number of Requests Queued go up even though Requests Executing is less than the number of available threads for ASP, when you test your ASP pages by refreshing a browser.

CAUSE

User requests from the same session are serialized by ASP.

RESOLUTION

Testing concurrency issues should be done using a stress simulation tool. For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

You can either disable session state for ASP at the server-side, or you can force new sessions from the client-side. Forcing new sessions at the client-side causes ASP to treat each request to be handled as a separate user session.

For additional information on disabling ASP sessions at the server-side, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
244465  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=244465/EN-US/ ) Disable ASP Session State

To force new sessions from the client-side, you need to do the following:

  • Disable cookies.
Additionally, if you are using Internet Explorer 4.0, do the following:
  • Set the option Browse in New Process.
  • Do not launch additional browser windows from within Internet Explorer by clicking New from the File menu, and then clicking Window.
  • Do not launch additional browsers windows through client-side script.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
