CD: Deleting Project Files May Cause High CPU Utilization on Target

ID: Q192426

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

Deleting Content Deployment project files on the source may cause high CPU utilization on a destination server when the project is automatic and has include or exclude filters.


CAUSE

The append function for ASCII (non-unicode) strings is setting the string length incorrectly to include the null terminator. This causes Content Deployment to loop continuously, appending a character.
