My site has started having issues with the application pool crashing while using Reporting Services manager. This is happening at more than one installation. I have seperated both the Reports and ReportServer web sites into their own application pool to single out the issue and have localized the issue to ReportServer as it is the only app pool that is crashing. This started at the time we implemented the ReportingServices2005 API. Attached below is a sample call we use to retrieve the list of reports in an SSRS folder. Currently our application uses javascript (Jquery) to make ajax calls to a C# .NET function which makes the SSRS API call. It seems to happen randomly as the app pool will not crash for days or will crash within hours of restarting. Once this error happens, the app pool rejects all future connections, however the IIS UI does not show that the app pool is stopped. The httperr log shows that the app pool was disabled due to rapid-fail protection. When rapid-fail protection is turned off the crash still occurs and the app pool drops all connections. We have looked at all logs from app pool as well as reporting services. We have also added the Debug Diagnostics Tool to IIS to retrieve the dump file from the server. Nothing obvious has jumped out at us and we’re now at a loss. Example Reporting Services API Call: [WebMethod(EnableSession = false)] [ScriptMethod] public List<CatalogItem> GetReportList() { CatalogItem[] items = null; List<CatalogItem> ret = new List<CatalogItem>(); try { ReportingService2005 rs = new ReportingService2005(); rs.Url = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Reporting_Services_Url"]; rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; // Use the reports path in the app config string path = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ReportServer_ReportList_Path"]; if (path == null || path == "") path = "/"; // send in at least a base root "/" items = rs.ListChildren(path, true); foreach (CatalogItem item in items) { if (item.Type == ItemTypeEnum.Folder || item.Type == ItemTypeEnum.Report) { if (item.Name != "Search Reports" && item.Name != "My Reports" && item.Name != "Users Folders" && item.Name != "Data Sources") ret.Add(item); } } } catch (System.Exception ex) { Guid? guid = ExceptionPolicy.HandledException(ex); // json object to include the guid as well as the exception info, for UI retrieval string jsonErrData = AjaxErrorHandling.CreateJsonFormat(guid, ex.Message, ex.GetType().ToString()); throw new Exception(jsonErrData); } return ret; } Dump Log Warning: The following threads in Crash_Rule_Targets__Date__11_03_2010__Time_09_16_14AM__w3wp.exe__ReportServer__PID__5256__371__Manual Dump.dmp are waiting on data to be returned from another server via WinSock The call to WinSock originated from 0x02a6a1c3 and is destined for port 80 at IP address 127.0.0.1 ( 62 ) 1.12% of threads blocked Ensure that any remote server this application may be calling is functioning properly and there are no network issues between the two servers.

Hi Drew, Thank you for your posting. Since this issue is an application crash, in order to get a better assistment, I would suggest you contact Microsoft Custom Services Support to dump analysis. Thanks, Jin ChenJin Chen - MSFT
