 * Microsoft XML for Analysis Software Development Kit 1.0

Bug #: 14203 (Plato7x)



SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft XML for Analysis Software Development Kit version 1.0 to connect to and to query Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services, the connections in the connection pool will not be reused by later connections. Also, the connections in the connection pool will not be released when the time period specified by the UNNAMEDSESSIONTIMEOUT value expires. This can cause Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) or the DLLHOST process to run out of memory because each connection will consume memory for its cache.
