SYMPTOMS
========
If Discovery Data Manager (DDM) attempts to process a Data Discovery Record
(DDR) that is zero bytes in size, the CPU usage by the Systems Management Server
Executive may increase significantly and never decrease. Further review
indicates that DDM is the cause for the increase. No new Drs will be processed.
To work around this problem, stop the Systems Management Server Executive
service, manually remove any zero byte DDRs and then restart the service.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Systems Management
Server 2.0. For additional information, please see the following article in the
