Process ID does not correspond to an SDE server?

Hi all,

I am having some problems with ArcSDE at the moment, when i try the following syntax

sdemon -o info -I users -i 5158 -s servername

I get the following message
There are no ArcSDE users logged in.

I have then looked in the SDE.PROCESS_INFORMATION table and can see the users who are logged, in but when I try to kill a user using the SDE_ID, i get the following message
Process ID does not correspond to an SDE server

The same thing happened last week and we restarted the database and SDE service and it fixed it, but the problem is back again.

We are using ArcSDE 9.2 (we are planning on upgrading next month)..

Has anyone got any ideas why this might be happening?

Thanks

You can't use 'sdemon' to kill Direct Connect connections -- the process lives elsewhere
(which is what the error message indicates).

Hi Vince,

I was hoping to kill the ArcSDE connections rather than the Direct Connections (I don't think we have DC's, all connections that we use go through ArcSDE).

I'm puzzled as it has only recently been telling me that there are no users connected.

Sometimes long-running application servers get disconnected. They can still pass on
valid connections, but can't see them.

But the "does not correspond" message seems more like a Direct Connect issue.
