When searching for a Task in the Workflow Monitor from the Automic Web Interface (AWI), the(Worker Processes) WPs, Tomcat and the Web Browser start to loop.

Once that happens the whole system is locked and all other user sessions hang.

As soon as the window is closed it  works normally again.

Cause
