Can anyone please assist me to fix this issue?

Have you tried tuning the innodb_buffer_pool_size ? I know that this value if small can make systems slower.

Yes, I tried that but it’s not working for me.
I am using 11G for innodb_buffer_pool_size

Try increasing your http_timeout:

 bench config http_timeout 6000

or higher. This has to do with the synchronous WSGI server.

thanks for suggestion, but I’ve already tried this, it’s not working as well.
I am not getting nginx/http request time out error message, it’s related to deadlock in MySQL.

I am suffering with the same issue. Any solution you found?

I had the same problem for a while. I don’t know how i solve it or if it was fixed in v11, or if it just disappear by itself. It’s related to a lock in the tabSeries that is used to create the document names.

Change transaction isolation to READ-COMMITTED. (Default for InnoDB is REPEATABLE-READ which creates this problem.)

may be restarting everything will solve this…

I’ve done that, but that’s not an ideal solution. It’s happening frequently and can’t restart my server every time.

Is anyone able to resolve this completely? If yes, please share the steps.

We are also facing similar problem while creating Delivery notes, Material Request etc. In version 12.
Have also upgraded the server with SSD and 256 gb RAM it has reduced the number but still appearing. So far only solution is to keep retrying and sometimes even need to retry 10 times
As per our analysis, tabBin and tabSeries are causing majority of the deadlocks
Any help or clue will be highly appreciated

Have anyone try this solution ? How safe it is ? What is the precautions ? I’m facing the same issue here and it seems this is the only viable solution

Try indexing the major columns under Delivery Note, Material Requests, Bin. Also see which query is creating a lock. In my case it was workflow action delete query which was locking my tables.
