Current case

Customer issue

Hello Omron team, We were having issues with the S730 AOI system and v-CA over the weekend. Currently everything is stable and hopefully remains like that. While going through the callouts for an inspection, the webpage for v-CA will stop working properly. Normally as you are classifying, the webpage will update to the next part after classifying the current part and load the images for the new part. What we were seeing was the webpage for v-CA stops responding in some capacity: * The images stop updating/changing to the next part as you are classifying parts. * The count for callouts classified stops updating as you classify. * The "OK" and "Inspection Results Approval" buttons still increment to the next part in the list but do not classify the part. * The "Other Faults" button no longer works and does not open up it's menu * The "Cancel" and "Complete" buttons no longer work and just put a loading wheel on the screen until it times out and do nothing. * The inspection being reviewed does not exit out for "Cancel". * The inspection being reviewed does not go to the next side of the board for "Complete". * The v-CA logs stops updating for that user. The webpage was still responding to inputs partially but no longer updating. So it was not freezing and hard locking up, but it was not working as expected. What resolved the issue was turning off one of the AOI Machines. Once the machine was turned off, everything returned to working was expected with v-CA without issue. We turned that AOI Machine back on and v-CA continued to work fine. Is this something you have encountered before somewhere else? Is there a possible explanation why turning off one of the inspection machines would result in v-CA working again? We don't know what interactions the AOI machines have with the server and if something was happening in the background that would result in v-CA breaking down.

    Hello Nolan, Can you please upload the vCA logs, and the logs for the machine that you had to power off to this file transfer link? I'm curious as to what is going on as well. I personally haven't seen this, but I'll have to check with Japan and the team. Logs are a good start though. https://transfer.xmage.ninja/s/CaisDqkHHwCrZaY Let me know when you sent them? Thanks,

    Sorry for the delay. Sent log files from 8/8/2026 and 8/9/2026. Looking at the machine logs with an untrained eye before sending, it looks the machine was constantly trying to write to the server until it was shut down?

    Hello Nolan, After reviewing the vCA logs and the AOI machine logs, this issue looks a little different than the earlier Tomcat thread-cap issue we worked through previously. At a high level, the logs appear to point more toward a VT-S730-0752-specific result/image/program state issue. In the machine logs for VT-S730-0752, we can see the system spending a long time waiting on LoadProgramXml, and the vCA logs also show failures while trying to load images/result data tied to VT-S730-0752. That lines up with the behavior you described, where the vCA webpage was still partially responding, but the inspection images, callout counts, Cancel/Complete actions, and vCA logs stopped updating correctly for that user/session. One thing we would like to confirm is whether the inspection image/result folders for the affected inspection IDs are complete or partially missing. Could you please send us a screenshot or directory listing of these two folders? G:\Images\Inspection\VT-S730-0752\[phone] G:\Images\Inspection\VT-S730-0752\[phone] We are mainly looking to confirm whether the expected image files exist in those folders, or if those folders are missing/incomplete. Also, if this happens again, it would be very helpful to run the Tomcat status/thread dump collection tool before turning off an AOI machine or restarting services. That will help us determine if Tomcat is getting tied up again, or if this is isolated to a specific machine/result/image state. At this point, we are not ruling out the API/data collection process entirely, but this event does not look as clearly like the previous API request overload issue. Since your team already reduced the API request volume significantly, that may no longer be the main contributor. However, if the API process had a backlog or was still querying older/incomplete inspection results, it could potentially add load or expose incomplete result/image data, so we would still like to keep that possibility in mind while we review the folders above. Current working theory: The vCA issue may have been caused by VT-S730-0752 having an incomplete or stuck inspection/program/result state. When vCA attempted to review that data, it could not properly load or update the expected image/result files, which caused the review screen to partially respond but not complete actions correctly. Turning off the AOI may have cleared or stopped the active machine/server interaction, allowing vCA to recover. Once we see the contents of those two image folders, we should be able to confirm whether missing or incomplete image/result files are part of the issue. Thank you, Jeremiah

    Jeremiah, See the attached txt files for the contents of those folders. I believe we did try to run the Tomcat thread dump on Saturday at one point but the time we tried Tomcat wouldn’t open. We do not believe we tried again after that and we should have in the morning on Sunday. I will comment that there were issues with the server early this morning on 8/11 like we had seen previously with too many requests for pulling the data from the server from the script that runs; we are still looking into that today to try to get answers. Currently to me this seems like maybe two separate issues at this time but still worth noting. We had to update the script last week to include the AOI Machine we changed the name of during the software upgrades as part of troubleshooting for that issue.

    Good morning Jeremiah, Question in regard to the Tomcat thread count. It looks like by default, unless specifically specified, it is set to 200. Any reason not to increase it?

    Hi Sam, Yes, increasing maxThreads from 200 to 400 is reasonable to try. This setting gives Tomcat more available worker threads, so it may provide additional headroom if the server is receiving a larger number of simultaneous requests. Since you are already working with the database/API team to improve the script behavior, this could be a useful supplemental change. I would recommend backing up server.xml first, making the change, restarting Tomcat, and then monitoring the Tomcat status page afterward. If we see any negative behavior or no improvement, the change can be reverted back to 200. Jeremiah Soliz Application Engineer - Omron Inspection Systems Division [email] [phone] (ITAR authorized)
