Helper IMashup container freezes server
Super UserLooks like one of the Microsoft contract moderators marked my previous post as a solution, not sure why as they have not participated in this thread. I've unmarked it as the solution.
But the mashup engine is only used to get data for a tabular model. And if it is firing off every half hour it almost has to be a scheduled refresh of some sort. Do you have the My Reports feature enabled on your server? If so it is possible that a user has one or more reports in their "My Reports" folder that they have configured for scheduled refreshes.
If you have reports in direct query mode they would also trigger mashup engine processes, but typically they would not be so regular and ideally they should not use massive amounts of resources.
If you want input from the Microsoft engineering team I would suggest raising an official support ticket. That is the fastest and most effective way of engaging with the product team.
Helper IOk thanks they must be paid by solved issues then ;-). MyReports is not enabled, I do have a bi-hourly update scheduled but that starts ten minutes later than this process, don't know if that can be correlated. I have opened, rescheduled and re-uploaded every report there is with no change in the freezeup. They all use data import. Don't know what else can be changed, or throttle the update process somehow.
