This article was previously published under Q240058



SYMPTOMS
Commerce Server may run out of metabase handles, which causes a memory leak, if the GetCommerceSites or GetWebSites methods of the Commerce.AdminWebServer component are called. This makes it impossible to retrieve the list of commerce sites.



CAUSE
Each time the GetCommerceSites and GetWebSites methods are called, four semaphores are created in the Inetinfo process. These semaphores are not released until the calling application is removed from memory.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Site Server 3.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

219292 How to Obtain the Latest Site Server 3.0 Service Pack



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, restart the Inetinfo process.



STATUS
This problem was first corrected in Site Server 3.0 Service Pack 3.
