Issue/Introduction

On Domain Manager, the cmengine.exe process is using more and more handles for registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ComputerAssociates\Unicenter ITRM.
This is affecting overall server performance and memory usage.

With handle64.exe from Microsoft sysinternals ( Handle ) we could see the number of opened handle for this registry key for cmengine.exe process

Example :

handle64.exe -a -p cmengine.exe | findstr /I /C:"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ComputerAssociates\Unicenter ITRM" | find /C "HKLM"

 

Some minutes later the number is growing :

After several hours and days this number could reach several thousand.
