Adobe AIR 2.6 - memory leak when waiting on remote service call!

Our AIR app has a function to export data from a DataGrid to Excel, which calls out to our J2EE server to build the excel file, and is then returned to the client as a byteArray which can then be saved on the client machine. We have noticed that for large data sets over a few thousand rows, while the client is waiting for the server to return from the remote object service call, memory utilisation steadily increases and can reach 1GB. The bizarre thing is that this increase is noticed for the adl.exe memory utilisation as reported in Windows Task Manager, whereas when we use the Flashbuilder memory profiler to monitor the same process we see no increase in memory utilisation. Given that while the client is waiting on the server to return from this call the client isn't doing anything else, we are baffled as to why memory should be eaten up by the AIR runtime.  Can anyone explain what is going on, and what steps we can take to stop this from occurring?
Many thanks,
Murray

Any chance you can check that out with the latest AIR?
Either way, it sounds like a bug, please report it at http://bugbase.adobe.com/ and then report the bug number here. 
If you're able to provide a reproducable case that would really increase the chance that we can do something about it.
Thanks,

  • Memory Leak when running Contacts

    I am having a big memory leak when running the app Contacts on a MB Air. It gobbles up 2 GB of ram in just a few minutes forcing a reboot. I have re-installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and it still leaks memory. Watching Activity Monitor shows the rapid increase in Ram being gobbled up by Contacts. Used Mackeeper to clear cache as well as ran Cocktail, all to no avail. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    The size of oracle.exe is not an indication of how the Java VM GC works; so you are not comparing apples to apples. It'll be too long to explain here but in my upcoming book (see hereafter), I gave a detailled explanation of the various memory areas the Java VM uses and how these are GCed and also how you can meausre their size (not all, though).
    In short you want to use OracleRuntime methods such as
    OracleRuntime.getSessionSize(); --> get he current size of Sessionspace
    OracleRuntime.getNewspaceSize(); --> get he current size of Newspace
    there are other memory areas described in the book

  • App Memory Leak When Open iPhoto

    Hi everyone,
    Does anyone have experienced app memory leak when open iPhoto?  My free memory immediate dropped from 5000 mb to 15mb when I open iPhoto and the app never open.  If I force to quit iPhoto, all return to normal and everything work fine.  I only have iPhoto app running, not sure what caused the memory leak??? 
    Looking for help. 
    Thanks

    Actually the new library was a test to see if the problem occurred only with your current library or with all libraries.  The fact that switching libraries cleared up the problem is just serendipitous. 

  • Memory leak when using Threads?

    I did an experiment and noticed a memory leak when I was using threads.. Here's what I did.
    ======================================
    while( true )
         Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
         String answer;
         System.out.print("Press Enter to continue...");
         answer = sc.next();
         new TestThread();
    ========================================
    And TestThead is the following
    ========================================
    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.*;
    public class TestThread extends Thread
    public TestThread() { start(); }
    public void run() {  }
    =====================================
    When I open windows Task Manager, every time a new thread starts and stops, the java.exe increases the Mem Usage.. Its a memory leak!? What is going on in this situation.. If I start a thread and the it stops, and then I start a new thread, why does it use more memory?
    -Brian

    MoveScanner sc = new
    Scanner(System.in);out of the
    loop.Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    while (true) {
    That won't matter in any meaningful way.
    Every loop iteration creates a new Scanner, but it also makes a Scanner eligible for GC, so the net memory requirement of the program is constant.
    Now, of course, it's possible that the VM won't bother GCing until 64 MB worth of Scanners have been created, but we don't care about that. If we're allowing the GC 64 MB, then we don't care how it uses it or when it cleans it up.

  • Memory Leak when TOMCAT connects to Oracle 10g RAC using JDBC Thin driver.

    We had experienced Memory leak when a Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3) RAC node was evicted. TOMCAT app server is connecting to the Oracle 10g RAC database instances using JDBC 10.2.0.3 thin driver.
    Anyone had similar experience?
    Any ideas? Any bugs reported/fixed?
    Thanks,

    If you're doing XA, we absolutely do not support
    driver-level load-balancing OR failover. Use neither.
    For non-XA, you can use driver-level failover. For
    non-XA, you could set load-balancing, but it won't
    help because we get connections from the driver,
    and keep them indefinitely, so the driver never gets
    the chance to affect which connections the pool
    uses after that.

  • An error occurred when executing a REMOTE FUNCTION CALL.

    Dear all,
    We have two syetms called DXD and GRD , we have a remote enabled function module in the DXD system , when i am trying to call this Function module from
    GRD system it is going for the short dump, and giving the follwing error,
    <b>Error analysis
        An error occurred when executing a REMOTE FUNCTION CALL.
        It was logged under the name "RFC_NO_AUTHORITY"
        on the called page.</b>
    But i do have the access for the DXD system also, i am really struggling to solve this problem, if any lights are there to help me , i will be thank full for then,
    some body suggested for me that we need to maintain the Trusted system tables in the target system.
    Thanks & regards
    Satya.

    first u( user id ) have to get the Authorizations to use RFC ?
    object will be  like S_RFC or some thing like this.
    when u get this kind of error just call /NSU53 then u will come to know which Authorization Object is missing from ur User Profile.

  • Huge memory leak when closing PDF from Hyperlink

    I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue with Adobe Reader 11.0.10 on Windows 7 64bit:
    1. I have a list of hyperlinks in an Access Table to certain PDF files on a local network folder.
    2. Clicking the hyperlink opens the corresponding PDF.
    The PDF file opens just fine, and renders normally. The issue is when I attempt to close the PDF. This results in an instant Memory leak that will grow to 4GB in under 10 seconds. System crashes completely. I can reproduce the crash in Safe Mode as well. I am able to open/close the PDF from its source location normally without incident. Clean Uninstall/Reinstall produces the same results.
    Downgrade to Adobe 10 fixes the problem completely. I can reproduce the problem on all computers on my network (all running windows 7 32bit or 64bit) by upgrading to Reader 11.0.10.
    I prefer to keep my software updated to prevent vulnerabilities, so any help would be appreciated.

    That is very strange because it is a 32-bit program and cannot (according to popular wisdom) grow over 2 GB. Also, if it were to reach 2 GB it would simply crash, not break the system.
    Do you have a screen shot showing the 4 GB? There might be clues there what is happening.

  • TestStand 2010 Memory Leak when calling sequence in New Thread or New Execution

    Version:  TestStand 4.5.0.310
    OS:  Windows XP
    Steps to reproduce:
    1) Unzip 2 attached sequences into this folder:  C:\New Thread Memory Leak
    2) Open "New Thread Memory Leak - Client" SEQ file in TestStand 2010
    3) Open Task Manager, click Processes tab, sort A-Z (important), and highlight the "SeqEdit.exe" process.  Note the memory useage.
    4) Be ready to click Terminate All in TestStand after you see the memory start jumping.
    5) Run the "New Thread Memory Leak - Client" sequence.
    6) After seeing the memory consumption increase rapidly in Task Manager, press Terminate All in TestStand.
    7) Right click the "While Loop - No Wait (New Thread)" step and set Run Mode » Skip
    8) Right click the "While Loop - No Wait (New Execution)" step and set Run Mode » Normal
    9) Repeat steps 3 through 6
    I've removed all steps from the While Loop to isolate the problem.  I've also tried the other methods you'll see in the ZIP file but all cause the memory leak (with the exception of the Message Popup).
    I have not installed the f1 patch, but none of the bug fixes listed appear to address this issue.  NI Applications Engineering has been able to reproduce the issue (with Windows 7) and is working on it in parallel.  That said, are we missing something??
    Any ideas?

    Good point Doug.  In this case parallel sequences are being launched at the beginning of the sequential process model, but I'll keep that in mind for later.  Take away:  be intentional about when to wait at the end of the sequence for threads to complete.

  • Memory Leak when just launched and Idle..  fixes when being used ??  [HELP]

    So I'm in the debugging and testing phase of my app and using this tool for tracking memory leaks ( https://github.com/mrdoob/Hi-ReS-Stats )
    When I launch my app my numbers are
    FPS: 61/60
    MS: 17
    MEM: 3.157
    MAX: 3.157
    Now immediately my memory starts increasing    from  3.157, 3.167, 3.177, 3.187, 3.197 and so on.
    Now if I make any nav selection in my app
    MEM changes back down to about 3.215
    but then it starts its count again   3.215, 3.225,  3.235, 3.445, 3.455
    I don't have any loops happening.
    Has anyone run in to this ?
    I'm almost tempted to force garbage collection every 60 seconds that the app is idle or something.  Not the best way to handle this ..   I just dont know where the leak is happening.
    Any support is appreciated!
    Cheers!

    Hi there - I just had the same query a couple of days ago (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/977174?tstart=30).
    I saw the same symptoms on my app so I built a blank app with just the profiler on stage. I've been monitoring it for a few days now and notice that memory does creep up even when the app is left idle (apart from the profiler) - but ... and this is the important bit ... it does periodically get reduced back to the starting point (when the garbage collector kicks in and memory is released).
    When I was monitoring my app the time through this cycle could be well over 5 mins.
    If you actually use the monitor when putting your app through it's paces you'll see memory being gobbled up more rapidly and hopefully (if you've no leaks) the garbage collection kicking in more regularly and bringing the reported usage back down.

  • Photoshop CS6 memory leak when idle and nothing open

    Photoshop CS6 runs away with memory after being used and then going idle. If I open up PS and leave it, it will be ok but as soon as I open any file it will go up in memory usage (which is normal) but when I close all files and hide PS the memory will stay high never goes back down. When I close PS and re-open (no files open) again it idles at 300Mb memory but when I open a file then close it and then hide/idle PS it raises and stays around 1.25-1.5 GB if not more.
    I have tried to Purge All, and even hide all menus to no avail. I have even tried to close Suitcase (eleminiate any font issues) and still same problem. I am running PS bone stock, no extra plug-ins. 
    Any ideas on why it would be doing this would be greatly appreciated!
    My Computer:
    Photoshop 13.0.1
    MacBookPro
    OS 10.6.8
    CPU: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Mem: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    HD: 300GB (30GB Free)

    Photoshop is not supposed to free memory when you close documents -- that's normal, because the memory gets reused.
    Yes, opening a file makes the memory usage go up - because space is needed for the document and it's window.
    None of what you said describes a leak, and sounds like perfectly normal behavior.

  • Memory leak when "Use JSSE SSL" is enabled

    I'm investigating a memory leak that occurs in WebLogic 11g (10.3.3 and 10.3.5) when "Use JSSE SSL" is checked using the Sun/Oracle JVM and JCE/JSSE providers. The leak is reproducible just by hitting the WebLogic Admin Console login page repeatedly using SSL. Running the app server under JProfiler shows byte arrays (among other objects) leaking from the socket handling code. I thought it might be a general problem with the default JSSE provider, but Tomcat does not exhibit the problem.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    Yes, we are seeing it as well on Oracle 11g while running a GWT 2.1.1 application using GWT RPC. Our current fix is to remove the JSSE SSL configuration check, however this might not be an option if you really need it for your application. Have you found anything else about it?

  • Memory leak when refreshing table models

    Hi,
    I have a memory leak in a GUI app, and i have traced the problem down to some JTables I have which display data from a database (I used Netbeans profiler to look at the number of objects created for different classes, and there are a large number of classes like com.mysql.jdbc.ResultSet, com.mysql.jdbc.Statement, com.mysql.jdbc.Field[] accumulating, aswell as lots of byte[] and char[] arrays). The allocation stack traces for these objects seem to point to my table models where I do a lot of database lookups to create the model.
    Every time I am refreshing the tables, the Heap Space increases by a few MegaBytes, and a load of objects get created and retained. After refreshing the tables a number of times, the heap eventually gets filled and I get OutOfMemory error.
    The problem is I don't understand how this is happening - when the tables are refreshed, the code I use is something like this:
    setModel(new MyTableModel());
    So theoretically each time I refresh, the old model should be garbage collected (because setting the new model means there are no references to the old model), but I get the feeling that all the models are accumulating in the heap and not being collected. I dont understand why this could be - I was wondering if anyone had any ideas? (PS My table models dont use any static fields)
    Cheers,
    james

    Hi JacobsB,
    The reason I'm setting new models (which I dont normally do) is that each time the table is refreshed, the number and type of columns may change. Since altering the column model is quite complicated (there is no convenient removeColumn() method of any of the standard model classes) and involves messing around with the column model, which ends up screwing up the whole model (e.g. column renderers, column count, column class etc.) I decided it was actually easier to just create a new model instead! Is there a way to alter the column structure another way?
    later,
    James

  • Memory leak when using DB_DBT_MALLOC in CDB.

    Hello!
    Recently when I'm using Berkeley DB CDB and set the value Dbt DB_DBT_MALLOC, I noticed that the app's memory keeps growing during the db.get while;
    I found that many codes on the internet use the syntax free(value.get_data()), but when I tried to free the value.get_data(), I always got an interruption error.
    It's OK when I'm using the DB_DBT_USERMEM flag. So I just get very confused about the DB_DBT_MALLOC and DB_DBT_REALLOC.
    And also, I wonder why there's no memory leak problem when we use the single thread BDB. I think BDB cannot free the value.data pointer too in single thread before the app finish using it, then why our apps don't need to free the data afterwards?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    You should use free() to free the DBT memory allocated via DB_DBT_MALLOC. You should do that after each Db::get() operation (and of course after finishing processing/using the data), otherwise you will loose the pointer to the memory previously allocated if you happen to reuse the DBT with DB_DBT_MALLOC (the data field will point to a new memory address).
    Alternatively you could use DB_DBT_REALLOC or DB_DBT_USERMEM.
    Note that there are small structures that BDB creates in the environment regions that only get freed/cleaned when the environment is closed.
    If you suspect that there is a memory leak inside the BDB code, make sure you rebuild Berkeley DB using the following configuration options (along with the others you use) when building: enable-debug, enable-umrw. Than, run the program under a memory leak detection utility, like Valgrind (allow the application to open and close the BDB environment) and see if there are any leaks reported.
    If memory leaks are reported, then put together a small stand-alone test case program that demonstrates the leaks, and post it here.
    Regards,
    Andrei

  • Memory leak when running in database

    I am somewhat new to java and very new to java in the db. I just ran into a problem with what appears to be a memory leak. I have a substantial java program used to parse XML files. I developed this app in jDeveloper and for testing purposes created a method that would connect to the database so that I could run the app from jDeveloper instead of having to deploy it everytime i needed to run it. When deployed the application uses the existing connection to connect to the db.
    I am running Oracle 9i on a windows 2k machine.
    When I run the application through jDeveloper the javaw.exe process takes up roughly 20mb of RAM and doesn't increase. I also watched the oracle.exe process and there was little to no increase in the RAM that it was using.
    When deployed to a db and run through a java stored procedure the RAM used by the oracle.exe process sky rockets, jumping from 70mb to 139mb at about 2mb per second.
    Hopefully this will make some sense to someone as posting code would be somewhat difficult considering the size of the project. Is there something I'm missing? I've tried calling the garbage collector explicity but it has had no effect. I have made sure that all my cursors, statements, resultsets are closing. I have a number of Vecotors which are all being de-allocated(as far as i can tell). Are there any known issues with the garbage collector in a 9i DB?
    Thanks
