We are running webMethods 7.1.3.0 in a clustered environment. All 4 servers attempt to read the IS_USER_TASKS table and hold it for an UPDLOCK, thus deadlocking the other 3 servers when they attempt to do the same. Has anyone seen this before, is there a way around it?

Note I am the DBA, not the WM admin…
