Allocated heap memory goes up even when there is enough free memory

Hi,
Our Java application's memory usage keep growing. Further analysis of the heap memory using JProbe shows that the allocated heap memory goes up even when there is enough free memory available in the heap.
When the process started, allocated heap memory was around 50MB and the memory used was around 8MB. After few hours, the inuse memory remains at 8MB (slight increase in KBs), but the allocated memory went upto 70MB.
We are using JVM 1.5_10. What could be the reason for heap allocation going up even when there is enough free memory available in heap?

Ipod touch won't sync all of the music even though there is enough free space

my ipod touch won't sync all of the music even though there is enough free space. what can i do to make sure all of the music syncs?

"Not enough free space" error message when there is enough free space

Last night I decided to put a few more songs on my iPod, but when I tried I got the following error message:
"The iPod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the selected playlists."
I know that is a load of crap because it says I have 2.59 gigabytes of free space, and I'm only trying to put 11 or 12 new songs on there. I have checked the settings to make sure that it isn't trying to upload my entire iTunes library, and it's not. I have the latest version of both iTunes and the iPod software. I've tried restarting, reinstalling, and all that... Any suggestions?

First of all, thanks for the replies.
I gave it another try today; I deleted the old files and ripped them to my computer again, this time using Windows Media Player instead of iTunes. I tried transferring them to my iPod again and this time it worked. As always iTunes had to convert them to files that it could read, but then it took just a few seconds and all of them made it to my iPod.
I don't know what the problem was the first time around. I checked the file sizes, and the largest was 4.2 MB. There were about 11 songs. It was just a typical audio CD and its total length was 44 minutes.
I guess from now on I'll just import CDs with Windows Media Player and then let iTunes convert them so that I can have even more files on my computer. Oh well. If that's what it takes... Sometime when I have a lot of time to fool around I'll try to see if something is going wrong when I'm importing them with iTunes.
Thanks again for the responses!

Is 500mb of swap used normal when there is still free memory?

Kind of worried First mac so might be abit new to OS X. Thanks in advance!

Right now I still have a relatively small number of apps that are open (~8-9), which doesnt justify such high ram usage, much less 500mb of swap.
The number of applications actually doesn't matter one bit. It's the type of applications and what kind of RAM they need. I have read some Mac engineers say that some applications need to preallocate RAM because of what they do, although OS X provides for ways to do that which will allow that RAM to be released to other applications if needed.
I could open 12 consumer apps and not see much change in swap file usage. But I could reboot and open just Photoshop and have it make a panorama or HDR of several DSLR images, or fire up a single 3D, motion graphics, or scientific program, and RAM/swap file requirements could instantly outpace anything general office apps could ever need.
Since you're new to OS X, you might want to become familiar with the UNIX memory management model that OS X uses. In other words, RAM management in OS X may be unlike what you were used to before, but its UNIX-based model is normally very efficient, especially with the new Mavericks RAM compression.
Also, based on what I've seen (using graphics apps), only 500MB swap wouldn't even get my attention...

I refered the metalink document id: [ID 761960.1]
Database Instance Using Swap Space When There is Plenty of Free RAM metalink note [ID 761960.1]
and tried the disabling the sga_max_size and memory_max_target and memory target with all different combination but no use.
We have one more box where same setup was configured in solaris platform but there the above memory parameters are not disabled but it is not using swap space it takes memry only from physical RAM
Can any one throw some lights on this issue. It wopuld be great if I come to know where the exact problem
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I didn't say I am not using 11gr2 memory parameters I am using all the automatic memory parameters but the thinks is as per the metalink note I tried by disabling the automatic memory parameters. but that didn't help me in preventing unnecessary swap usage. So I reverted. now it is using automatic memory parameters.
so What is the solution for this?

Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError although enough free memory left

hi there,
i am facing a strange problem. i get a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError although my gc monitoring (wily introscope) shows that there is enough free memory left.
so my question is what can lead to a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. is it possible that a full generation space can lead to an OutOfMemory? I thought that in this case the garbarge collector would move live objects to the next generation?
my settings are:
- JVM 1.4.2
-XX:NewSize=64m
-XX:MaxNewSize=64m
-XX:SurvivorRatio=12
-Xms=1024m
-Xmx=1024m

Maybe you are running out of perm space?
Try
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

Observation: SAP uses swap space even when OS has available unused memory

Hi Folks,
   It is my understanding that any memory not used by the Linux OS itself or the SAP application is available for Linux to use for I/O buffers and file caching. When the SAP application requires more memory I would expect Linux to take memory away from itself (release I/O buffer and/or file caching memory).
   We have observed that SAP uses swap space even when there is memory available. Is there some feature in SAP kernel or some ABAP construct that causes SAP to prefer swap space over available memory? Or maybe there is a Linux kernel setting that influences SAP's use of swapping.
Regards,
Zaz

Hi Mike
You did not mention which distribution you have. Under SLES there is is a parameter called SWAPPINESS, which controls the buffering/swapping.
cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
If you don't already know, you can see the memory usage with the free command.
root # free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          7987       7901         85          0        364       4262
-/+ buffers/cache:       3274       4712
Swap:        15999          0      15999
As far as i know, in this example 3274 is memory used by SAP and other processes and 4712 is cache. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Regards
Michael
Edit: a low swappines, for example 10 means to reduce cache first, a high swappiness (example 100) means page out processes first

Dax Calculate column even when there is no record at a date

We are creating a powerpivot model based on a table with data about worktasks of our employees.
This is simplified our input:
Tasknr date started dateended
1 20140101 20140201 (yyyymmdd)
2 20140102 20140103
3 20140104 20140108
Etc
We created two measures to calculate how many tasks are opened and closed per day. That was no problem, but now the tricky part. We also want to know each day how many tasks are
still open, even on days that no tasks are opened (or closed).
My approach was to create a calculated column to determine how many tasks are opened up to that date and subtracted the closed tasks and end up with the tasks that are open. That
seems to be working :
=COUNTROWS(FILTER(Tasks; Tasks[Open]<=EARLIER(Tasks[Open]))) - COUNTROWS(FILTER(Tasks; Tasks[Close]<=EARLIER(Tasks[Open])))
When I load this to the excel pivot I end up with this:
Row Labels| Opened | Closed | Open not finished
1/1/2014
        1
0          1
1/2/2014
1          0
2
1/3/2014
        0
1         0
1/4/2014
        1
0         2
The line with 1/3/2014 should have 1 in the column [opened not finished], but because that calculation is linked to the opendate column, not to the closed and 3/1/2014 no task
was opened, there is no value. On days that no tasks are opened or closed there even is no line at all although there could be tasks that are still open.
I need a mechanism that calculates the value even when there are no records
on a particular day. Our users want to be able to view the results on any date they select.
I have considered a second table with all the dates and calculate columns from the task-table but are there other ways to do this? I searched this forum but did not find an answer
so far.

Hi Jacob,
In our company we have a standard date table that is included in all of our models. What I didn't want to do in this case was to extend that table with calculated fields to solve this issue. Alternative was to create a new date table with the calculated
fields I needed. But I don't like that also so what I did was rewrite the sql that loaded the data into the pivot so that the measures were calculated at the load. But I am also not happy with that solution because of maintanance and performance reasons. My
feeling is that there must be a way to solve this with only dax in the loaded table.
Jacob's answer does exactly what you want. The DAX expression in his response is a measure which you could put in your Tasks table. You don't need to alter your date dimension in any way.
The key to this technique is that the date table cannot have an active relationship to your Tasks table. (although you could have an inactive relationship and then you could use the USERELATIONSHIP function to make other measures easier to calculate)
Translating Jocob's measure into something against a 'Tasks' table would looks like the following:
=
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( Tasks ),
FILTER (
Tasks,
Tasks[Open] <= MAX ( Calendar[Date] )
&& Tasks[Closed] >= MAX ( Calendar[Date] )

GRC 5.3: CUP asks to perform risk analysis even when there are no risks in request

Hi All,
We recently upgraded from GRC 5.3 SP13 to SP22.
The one issue which we are facing after upgrade is that now CUP is forcing approvers to do Risk Analysis, even when there are no risks in the CUP Request, that is Risk Tab is Green.
Previously approvers were able to approve requests without doing risk analysis, if there were no risks in the request.
CUP used to force them to do risk analysis only when there were risks associated with requests.
But now, it is forcing approvers to perform risk analysis, even if there are no risks, i.e. approvers are not able to approve requests without any risks without doing risk analysis.
Please advise.
Thanks

USB not recognized - even when there's no USB device at all (Windows 7, Pavilion dv7)

Since a few days now I get the message
'The USB-device was not recognized: One of the USB-devices connected to this computer does not work correclty. The device has not been recognized'.
It keeps popping up from my right corner below, every 5 seconds if I don't click it. When I click the message, I get a list of USB devices (ports) there are available. There's one 'Unknown device'. Maybe it has something to do with the finger scan (biometric)? This hasn't been working very good lately..
Even when there's no single USB device installed (normally I have a mouse and a Targus laptop chill mat installed as USB devices), it keeps popping up. I tried deleting the USB port from the list (or uninstall it) in Device control, but it seems it keeps happening.
I suddenly got it, I did nothing specific of did not connect any strange devices (except for a projector on the external monitor exit, but that has nothing to do with USB). I also hear the sound for connecting and disconnecting USB devics randomly when I'm on my laptop.
Anyone has any idea?
Thanks

Constant notifications even when there's nothing to be notified of. Galaxy S5.

Ever since I updated my Samsung Galaxy s5 yesterday I have been getting constant message tones even when there's nothing to be notified of. I have restarted my phone more than enough times to know its not that causing issues.

josh366,
This definitely seems strange that you are receiving these notifications without having any type of texts, or emails, or any other types of notifications. Since the software upgrade, have you downloaded any new apps? Let's also try to power the device off, remove the SIM card and wait for about 30-60 seconds and then put the SIM back in and power back on. Keep us posted!

There is not enough free memory to load the entire file

I saw an older reference to this error in a previous post which apparently got resolved, but didn't explain precisely how it got resolved:
Michael Kitzmiller, "There is not enough free memory to load the entire file" #, 27 Jul 2007 5:23 am
I presume that one answer is to rebuild the document from scratch, changing imported images to referenced images. But I want to recover the file as I put hours of work into it and expected that anything I can save that I also should be able to read back in. I will certainly change to referenced images, but I have to be able to open it first.
thank you

Here is a smattering of ideas.
Do you have ample unused HDD space? If not, defrag it, although in myu experience, this hardly makes a difference. Check your TEMP/TMP folders and clean them out. Consider downloading cCleaner and running it. Do everything you can to make ample room on your HDD and in places like your TEMP folders. If your HDD is congested, temporarily remove big but relatively unimportant applications and move data elsewhere for a while.
Even with 4GB of RAM, Frame can only use somewhere between 2.7 - 3.2 GB of it under the very best of conditions, and that includes the application as well as the files. Unpacking image files can consume considerably more space than it takes to store them. For example, a 1024 x 768 color image requires more than 3.1MB to describe it as a 32-bit color image, yet when stored in JPEG format, it can be as small as 50kB, a compression of 65:1. Of course, it's not reasonable to assume that your document is comprised entirely of such highly-compressed images, but in the unachievable extreme, it would take 980MB to simultaneously open 15MB worth of those kind of files. The point here is to not fall into the trap of thinking a 15MB file comprising a lot of images needs little more than 15MB of RAM.
Make sure ALL other applications are closed when trying to open your file...Outlook, IE or FireFox, Anti-Virus and Spyware apps, Word, etc.
Consider sending a copy of the file to someone else to see if they can open it for you and delete some of the images before resaving it. If you have a backup copy, rename your current file and restore the backup. Maybe your working copy is corrupt. Who knows? Anything is probably worth trying as long as you have a save copy stored somewhere.
