# 4245 ElevateDB Server Contains Race Condition During Logging of Connection Errors

---

We have customized our elevate server such that when it is launched, it runs an external registration app that runs a set of scripts to ensure that our UDFs are registered on all known databases. These scripts take about 10 seconds to run if the UDFs need to be registered and exit very quickly if there is no work to do.

We have one customer site however where we have a substantial problem with Elevate. On this server, 8 out of 10 times that we start Elevate, these scripts take 10 minutes or more to run. the other two times they finish quickly. When the scripts take 10 minutes to run, we know the database will be causing us tons of performance problems, including strange disconnects that hang around keeping locks on the system. If the initial scripts run quickly, we have no issues all day at that site.
