CPU on 100% after start

[hstefan]

Hello all,

i have installed version 6.0.1 without any
problems. Since yesterday i have the
problem that with every start of the developer
the cpu utilization is going to 100%. If i close
the developer the cpu is normal.
Does anybody have a good idea?
I will deinstall/install the software
and have a look if the error is to be away.

If this problem persists, can you check if it also occurs if you do not connect to the database after starting PL/SQL Developer?

 

[hstefan]

The problem persists after the new installation
and it is also if i am not connected to the
database. As soon as the login screen is gone,
the cpu is going to 100%

Could it be that there is a corrupt Plug-In?

f.e. goes the CPU to 100% if in Splashscreen shows "Loading Plugins..."?

Did the Problem comes too, if you deaktivate all Plug-Ins?

 

[hstefan]

i have no plugins installed.
It seems that the problem exists only on my
dell notebook c640 with pentium4. There are other
notebooks with p3 and desktops with p4 where
the developer seems to be working.

--
My guess with the notebook is verified. We have
other installations in the company on notebooks
with pentium4 and all these notebooks have the
same problem. On other workstations the error
is not present.

I had this same problem starting this morning. CPU goes through the roof while the Developer splash window displays "Loading Plug-ins".

I just happened to look at a post about problems w/ the highlighter plug-in and saw their problem was fixed by removing the SmartEd plug-in.

As soon as I removed that plug-in from the Developer plug-in directory, Developer started up fine!

I'll miss the features, but at least I'm working again!

Not sure what caused the problem to materialize a week after installing it, but...

Yaaaaa, back to testing out Developer!

> problem was fixed by removing the SmartEd plug-in.

I've been trying to work out what if anything SmartEd does. I've just disabled it and everything still works fine (code completion etc). The description on the Downloads site appears to describe the standard Code Assistant feature. What is it actually supposed to do?

 

[Stew Stryker]

I think think SmartEd is supposed to complete the function definitions of standard PL/SQL functions and procedures???

I tried emailing the author, but the message was returned as undeliverable. :-(

It seems that the problem exists in 6.02 too.
We have installed the new version on a notebook
and the problem occurs on a p3 notebook too.
I think there are two possibilities:

1. Policy Problems with w2k. When we connect
to the notebooks as domain-admin there is no
problem. After connect as local-Admin or user
the cpu is on 100%

2. There is a problem with the 1GHZ limit
The new p3 notebook has over 1GHZ and the
problem occurs. I remeber that oracle had
also a problem with there old installer with
this limit.

Problem Found !!

The problem was the "check for update"
in the options of developer. The local
firewall zonealarm has blocked the connections
without a message and developer tried to
connect in the background to check for updates.
If this option is deactivated the cpu is
on normal use. There should be a routine in
developer that post a messagebox when there is
no connection to the internet.

Thanks for letting us know! We'll try to fix this for 6.0.3.
