From: Adrian Tarjoianu on 30 Apr 2010 17:25 Hi, I have a WCF webservice hosted in IIS 7. The OS is Windows Server 2008 Standard. The binding of this web service is netTcp. This webservice works fine for 20-30 minutes, but after that I receive this error message: "Server Application Unavailable The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request. Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur. " If I recycle the application pool everything comes back to normal. In the event viewer I see the below exception message: "Failed to execute request because the App-Domain could not be created. Error: 0x8000ffff Catastrophic failure " Help pls. Thank you, Adrian
From: "Steven Cheng" on 3 May 2010 05:51 Hi Adrian, Based on your description, the WCF service unavailable error is likely due to the IIS applicaiton pool(of your WCF service application virtual directory) has encounter some unhandled exception(and crashed). And it seems the windows eventlog doesn't provide any detailed error info and cause. Is your service using any special component or code logic that may raise some unhandled exception(like COM interop or unamanged API). Generally, we can first start troubleshooting from code review level before try some low level debugging approahes. Also, if the error is WCF specific, turn on the WCF event trace might also help on capturing underlying error info: #Configuring Tracing http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733025.aspx Sincerely, Steven Cheng Microsoft MSDN Online Support Lead Delighting our customers is our #1 priority.

From: Adrian Tarjoianu on 12 May 2010 09:03 Hi Steven, I switched back the WCF service to use http prototcol. Everything is fine now. The problem is only when we configure it to use net.tcp protocol. Could you pls tell me what other data you need in order to troubleshoot this issue?

From: "Steven Cheng" on 13 May 2010 06:16 Hi Adrian, Thanks for reply Adrian. So the problem is specific to netTcpBinding scenario, I think it still possible that the service process encounter some exception or hang situation which makes the service unavailable to client. For WCF service, have you tried turned on service tracing at the service-side to see whether you can get any error information? The following reference shows how to configure WCF tracing. #Configuring Tracing http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733025.aspx?PHPSESSID=50d760d9b862 023e2c39e99ef0c83e42 or you can also use the service configuration editor provided in windows sdk to enable tracing: #Configuration Editor Tool (SvcConfigEditor.exe) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms732009.aspx Sincerely, Steven Cheng Microsoft MSDN Online Support Lead Delighting our customers is our #1 priority.

Hi Steven, I have enabled the tracing but the issue is not reproducing anymore. Strange enough. I have one more question: I have converted a web service with WCF and I have configured it to work on net.tcp, but it takes longer to transfer the same amount of data. Before it took it around 10 sec and now it takes it around 17. Here is the web.config file content. Could you please tell me what should I disable/enable in order the data to be transfered faster? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- Note: As an alternative to hand editing this file you can use the web admin tool to configure settings for your application.
