How to crash test a Siebel server?

Yes you heard it right, this series is to find out what things developers can do to crash test the siebel server



Siebel unlike salesforce server has governor limits, it keeps on going until you ask it to stop. That's it's one of the key strength that I love, but not great when given it in hands of cowboys...




Fun with Siebel Run time events

First way I can think of crashing a Siebel server is to create an InvokeMethod RefreshRecord RTE on pre invoke event on any buscomp. This causes Siebel to keep calling the run time events in loop. And knocks down all the existing sessions on the siebel server.   Definitely fun thing to do on your free time.

Reload run time events 

Wonder what's the problem with nimble reload runtime events?  Well you can do it only once at a time, if two users reloads run time events it hangs the SRBroker and application server goes for a toss.   Try these things at your own risk 😉 do share if you see any of such funny things happening in your enterprise.
