Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right list or not, please let me know if I should redirect my question. When I try to run "Update security settings" in the portal_workflow tool, my zope process gradually swallows up all the cpu, seems to still be running fine, but then after a couple of hours, swallows up all the memory, the load on the server exceeds 4 and makes it pretty well unresponsive. I have about 35,000 objects in the ZODB.

Has anybody had any similar experience or know of any hints as to how I should debug this?

I tried following the guidelines on this website: http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/debugspinningzope but couldn't see anything that was actually stuck.

The correct list for this question is either the Zope CMF list (zope-cmf@lists.zope.org) or one of the Plone lists (if the tool is not a stock CMF tool). I would look at adding some logging to the workflow tool's '_recursiveUpdateRoleMappings' method, in order to get a handle on what is happening in your case. You might need to write an ExternalMethod which emulated the "re-apply security" button for separate parts of your site.
