Description of the Microsoft Windows registry
When you click
Events in the Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005 Operator console, you notice that the following event has been logged by the Web Sites and Services Management Pack:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Web Sites and Services MP
Event Category: None
Event ID: 3201
Date: 4/4/2006
Time: 5:55:00 PM
User: N/A
Computer: ComputerName
Description:
Unable to start processing Request Sequence data file FileName.xml because a previous instance is already being processed.
Please refer to product documentation for more information.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://support.microsoft.com.
This behavior occurs when the MOM 2005 Web Sites and Services request sequence interval is too short for the number of Web sites that are being monitored by the Web Sites and Services Management Pack. This behavior may also be caused by a network slowdown.
By default, the MOM 2005 Web Sites and Services request sequence is scheduled to run every two minutes. However, if the network is slow, or if there are lots of Web sites to monitor, it may take longer than two minutes to process the URL. In this case, the URL may not be successfully processed because a previous URL is still being processed.
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
To work around this behavior, you can increase the request sequence interval so that the URL can be successfully processed. To do this, change the
MaximumConcurrentSequences value in the registry.
For more information about the
MaximumConcurrentSequences registry value, see the Microsoft Operations Manager Web Sites and Services Management Pack Guide.

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.
