CSCud17778 - memory leak in middle buffers due to snmp traps

The bug details list these as the conditions required to cause the symptom. They don't specify whether these three conditions are an AND or an OR, but I'm assuming that all three must be satisfied:
Conditions:
1) more than one snmp-server hosts are configured
2) "snmp-server enable traps snmp authentication linkdown linkup coldstart warmstart" command is configured
3) some host sending broadcast SNMP traps
What I'm confused about is #3 -- how would that be germane? If some "host" sends SNMP traps to an IP broadcast address, the switch should ignore them because it will not be listening on UDP port 162. If instead of SNMP traps, the host were broadcasting SNMP GETs, that would make it as far as the community string check, which would require buffer storage for the switch SNMP process. And assuming that check failed, the generation of an authentication_failed trap to multiple trap receivers would require more buffers.
Can anyone (especially from the TAC) clarify this?
TIA,
- Marty

Hi Marty,
Yes, all 3 are required (AND conditions).
Also note for #2, it is really the "authentication" portion of the command.
In this case, I believe the IOS devices is actually looking / listening to these received traps. The receipt of this SNMP trap is definately a required condition to trigger this bug.
Sincerely,
David.

My iMac keeps crashing due to a memory leak.... Any thoughts on what this means?

I'll be using my iMac (27" late 2009) and it will suddenly cut to black. Then after a second or two, a grey screen will appear and tell me an issue occured and to push any key to restart. Once the computer restarts, the issue report pops up and it says I have a memory leak. I don't know what that means, or how to fix it. Any thoughts on the cause of why it's doing this, or the impending doom it may be heralding? I've posted the issue report below incase anyone can glean anything from it. Thanks for your help.

Kernel Panic due to memory leak?

Hello All
I have recently been noticing an issue where while playing music through iTunes my computer freezes and the music begins to skip forcing me to power down by holding in the power button. I have read most topics on this, however none address a memory leak in the 'iChat Agent.'
My machine has 4GB of memory (dual 1.8GHz G5, PPC) and have never had this issue before. I am not sure if it is caused by iTunes or if it is just happens to be when listening to music. I have begun to look around and I have noticed that my memory shoots up after 1-2 days of the computer being on. This is due to the iChat Agent... it takes up about 2GB of RAM. Is this normal?
It has happened 3 times now in the past 2 weeks. Any suggestions?

well... the first time i got the kernel panic. it was text overlay on my screensaver that was running. The second time the computer just froze. I wonder though if the kernel panic would have eventually happened.
i keep noticing now that this iChat Agent slowly creeps up during the day to about 2GB Real Memory and 2.4 Virtual Memory. is this normal or causing the freeze??

Memory leak due high database operations

Our application is a network monitoring application , where we get lot of data from network every 2 minutes.
When we try process large amount data in our application we start seeing memory leak. But if we control data inflow rate , then our application works fine with no leak.
I am not able to profile our application with tools like Jprobe, as the profiler itself is running outofmemory even before I could reproduce the issue.
Mostly likely DB is not able to handle the data at the rate we would like it to handle. We are using MySql with C3P0.
I am not sure which objects are not getting garbage collected which is causing our application to run outofmemory since i am not able to profile the application.
Will appreciate if anyone can share their experiences in debugging such problems

We have added throttling mechanism to temporarily fix the problem. As I said before we get data every 2 mins from network. We have a data structure which is populated when we receive the data. So we count the numbers of rows in the data structure and once we reach the throttle we drop rest of the data. Throttle gets reset so that when data comes in next cycle we can again process it.
The problem is we are not able handle data at a higher rate. Most of the times data received from the network is within our throttle limit , so there are no issues. We were seeing issues only when receive burst of data. So if we fixed the issue temporarily by adding throttling.
I hope this clarifies your question

Cropping Crashes Aperture 3 due to Video Card Memory Leak?

Recently after updating from 3.1.1 to 3.1.2 I have been experiencing crashing issues whenever I perform the cropping action. I see the death of wheel following hitting the return key. There was one time when the master version itself vaporized into thin air. I also noticed from the iStat Menus that the issue only occurs when the ATI Radeon HD 2400 memory usage has reach its full capcity. I quite firefox to release some of the memory then Aperture functions normally until the memory runs out again. I would then see the death of wheel once again when I crop.
Is Aperture crashing because I need a more powerful video card or is it a memory leak issue with the application?
Thanks!

Lets see if we understand this correctly.
You had a system on which Aperture was crashing when you used the crop tool. You then got a brand new system and the crop tool still causes Aperture to crash. Am I correct so far?
What are the common factors between the old and new systems as far as Aperture goes? Not knowing how you migrated from the old to the new the only thing we can say for certain is that the library is identical.
So have you run the basic library first aid steps? Another thing to try is to create a new empty library, put an image into it and try cropping it and see what happens.
Let us know what happens after those steps,
regards

I migrated everything from the old computer to the new. I also tried creating a new library and the issue persists. I've also tried the First Aid options all of 'Repair Permission, Repair Database, and Rebuild Database' none of which worked. I've also tried reinstalling Aperture and it crashes on the first crop.
I will need to be editing many photos in a few weeks and now I'm stuck with this issue.. HELP!!!!!!!
It seems like others have run into the same issue also but no solutions!!
Why is aperture 3.1 crashing after cropping images, any one else?

Huge memory leaks in using PL/SQL tables and collections

I have faced a very interesting problem recently.
I use PL/SQL tables ( Type TTab is table of ... index by binary_integer; ) and collections ( Type TTab is table of ...; ) in my packages very widely. And have noticed avery strange thing Oracle does. It seems to me that there are memory leaks in PGA when I use PL/SQL tables or collections. Let me a little example.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE rds_mdt_test IS
TYPE TNumberList IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER);
END rds_mdt_test;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY rds_mdt_test IS
PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER) IS
x TNumberList;
BEGIN
FOR indx IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
x(indx) := indx;
END LOOP;
END;
END rds_mdt_test;
I run the following test code:
BEGIN
rds_mdt_test.test_plsql_table (1000000);
END;
and see that my session uses about 40M in PGA.
If I repeat this example in the same session creating the PL/SQL table of smaller size, for instance:
BEGIN
rds_mdt_test.test_plsql_table (1);
END;
I see again that the size of used memory in PGA by my session was not decreased and still be the same.
The same result I get if I use not PL/SQL tables, but collections or varrays.
I have tried some techniques to make Oracle to free the memory, for instance to rewrite my procedure in the following ways:
PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER) IS
x TNumberList;
BEGIN
FOR indx IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
x(indx) := indx;
END LOOP;
x.DELETE;
END;
or
PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER) IS
x TNumberList;
BEGIN
FOR indx IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
x(indx) := indx;
END LOOP;
FOR indx in 1 .. cnt LOOP
x.DELETE(indx);
END LOOP;
END;
or
PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER) IS
x TNumberList;
empty TNumberList;
BEGIN
FOR indx IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
x(indx) := indx;
END LOOP;
x := empty;
END;
and so on, but result was the same.
This is a huge problem for me as I have to manipulate collections and PL/SQL tables of very big size (from dozens of thousand of rows to millions or rows) and just a few sessions running my procedure may cause server's fall due to memory lack.
I can not understand what Oracle reseveres such much memory for (I use local variables) -- is it a bug or a feature?
I will be appreciated for any help.
I use Oracle9.2.0.1.0 server under Windows2000.
Thank you in advance.
Dmitriy.

Thank you, William!
Your advice about using DBMS_SESSION.FREE_UNUSED_USER_MEMORY was very useful. Indeed it is the tool I was looking for.
Now I write my code like this
declare
type TTab is table of ... index binary_integer;
res TTab;
empty_tab TTab;
begin
res(1) := ...;
res := empty_tab;
DBMS_SESSION.FREE_UNUSED_USER_MEMORY;
end;
I use construction "res := empty_tab;" to mark all memory allocated to PL/SQL table as unused according to Tom Kyte's advices. And I could live a hapy life if everything were so easy. Unfortunately, some tests I have done showed that there are some troubles in cleaning complex nested PL/SQL tables indexed by VARCHAR2 which I use in my current project.
Let me another example.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE rds_mdt_test IS
TYPE TTab0 IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
TYPE TRec1 IS RECORD(
NAME VARCHAR2(4000),
rows TTab0);
TYPE TTab1 IS TABLE OF TRec1 INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
TYPE TRec2 IS RECORD(
NAME VARCHAR2(4000),
rows TTab1);
TYPE TTab2 IS TABLE OF TRec2 INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
TYPE TStrTab IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY VARCHAR2(256);
PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER);
PROCEDURE test_str_tab(cnt INTEGER);
x TTab2;
empty_tab2 TTab2;
empty_tab1 TTab1;
empty_tab0 TTab0;
str_tab TStrTab;
empty_str_tab TStrTab;
END rds_mdt_test;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY rds_mdt_test IS
PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER) IS
BEGIN
FOR indx1 IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
FOR indx2 IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
FOR indx3 IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
x(indx1) .rows(indx2) .rows(indx3) := indx1;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
x := empty_tab2;
dbms_session.free_unused_user_memory;
END;
PROCEDURE test_str_tab(cnt INTEGER) IS
BEGIN
FOR indx IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
str_tab(indx) := indx;
END LOOP;
str_tab := empty_str_tab;
dbms_session.free_unused_user_memory;
END;
END rds_mdt_test;
1. Running the script
BEGIN
rds_mdt_test.test_plsql_table ( 100 );
END;
I see that usage of PGA memory in my session is close to zero. So, I can judge that nested PL/SQL table indexed by BINARY_INTEGER and the memory allocated to it were cleaned successfully.
2. Running the script
BEGIN
rds_mdt_test.test_str_tab ( 1000000 );
END;
I can see that plain PL/SQL table indexed by VARCHAR2 and memory allocated to it were cleaned also.
3. Changing the package's type
TYPE TTab2 IS TABLE OF TRec2 INDEX BY VARCHAR2(256);
and running the script
BEGIN
rds_mdt_test.test_plsql_table ( 100 );
END;
I see that my session uses about 62M in PGA. If I run this script twice, the memory usage is doubled and so on.
The same result I get if I rewrite not highest, but middle PL/SQL type:
TYPE TTab1 IS TABLE OF TRec1 INDEX BY VARCHAR2(256);
And only if I change the third, most nested type:
TYPE TTab0 IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY VARCHAR2(256);
I get the desired result -- all memory was returned to OS.
So, as far as I can judge, in some cases Oracle does not clean complex PL/SQL tables indexed by VARCHAR2.
Is it true or not? Perhaps there are some features in using such way indexed tables?

Memory Leaks   Unresponsive Mouse

2009 8 core Mac Pro w/ 24 GB of RAM, ATI Radeon 4870, and a SeriTek PCIe eSATA card (card only has drives connected when running a manual drive clone). When running Toast 10 or Parallels 9, my RAM will fill up (I use a program called Menu Meters to monitor stuff). This machine worked just fine under OS 10.9 and earlier - no issues like this at all. ClamXAV will also completely fill the RAM up (the meter will be full green, instead of part green, then mostly grey when Toast or Parallels fills it up). I have to use Terminal to purge it so that the machine is usable.
The other thing that happens is that sometimes when the computer wakes up or I am in the middle of doing something, the mouse will still move, but the dock will not pop open and the left button the mouse doesn't respond. The right button will open the right click menu, but will not respond normally at all. I have tried a different Magic Mouse, but the problem is the same.
I thought that it may be a problem with the factory RAM and the Kingston RAM not playing nicely together. So I ran it with just the factory 8 GB and then ran it with the Kingston 16 GB - the problem persists no matter which RAM is installed. All of the RAM also passes the memory tests in Rember and TechTool.
So, I need to find out if someone thinks that maybe the bluetooth module may be going bad causing the mouse issues. I also need to find out what is causing the memory leaks. I followed the steps that someone gave on this site to boot into safe mode, repair permissions, reset PRAM, then reset SMC (or the other way around - I did it like they said to). It did nothing to fix the problem.
I need some guidance here. As I stated early on, the machine worked perfectly with OS 10.9. I have WAY too much software that I use, so doing a completely fresh install is out of the question - I don't have time to reload everything. This problem is annoying and I know that I am not the only one having these issues. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Here is the EtreCheck report:
Problem description:
Memory leaks when using Toast 10 or Parallels 9. Mouse also become unresponsive (it will move, but left button does not work and dock will not pop open - mouse problem happens independent of the RAM being filled up - different mouse was tried with same result).

APEX 4.1.1 Memory Leak in IE7

Hi,
We busy upgrading our apex and db from 3.0/10G to 4.1.1/11.2G and notice that there appears to be a memory leak when using APEX. At one stage we have had IE7 using over a gig of memory.
When you load or refresh your page IE7 seems to grab on average 2-5MB of memory for each page load. At first we thought it may have been our apps or setup but this also happens when we go to app 4550 page 1 on apex.oracle.com.
How to replicate:
Open task manager to view the Memory Usage.
Using IE7
1. Go to http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=4550:1
2. Go back to Task Manager and note the readings once the CPU Usage for iexplore.exe has stablised to 0.
3. go back to IE7 and press F5
4. Repeat steps 2-3 and you will see the Memory usage increases.
We think this maybe due to a few jQuery UI memory leaks within IE7 and thought this bug ticket maybe of interest http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/7666 (Slightly different versions but similiar experiences)
Could someone else confirm that they also experience the increasing or have had similiar problems and managed to resolve it?
TBH, it wouldn't be an issue to use another browser like Firefox to access the builder but this also affects the applications if they include APEX standard Javascript and CSS.
Thanking you in advance.

Don't have exact steps for replication or precise numbers, but I have noticed this in passing. On the junk that my client considers a PC suitable for web development the typical IE7 memory footprint with the APEX 3.0 builder and several other tabs running is about 52MB. Add APEX 4.1.1 and it climbs constantly until I have to pull the plug when it gets north of 150MB as the PC can't take it.
As well that I also have Firefox and 4.1.1 is still experimental at that site...
At the moment I don't have to resolve it and if I did the only option I'd propose is the replacement of IE7.

I saw that eariler this week. I do agree with the concept though.So take appropriate action: charge extra for IE7 support.
The amount of work and effort involved in making our website look normal on IE7 equalled the combined time of designing for Chrome, Safari and Firefox.Is entirely accurate. If it's stated as a requirement, itemise it as an extra on the quote.
Educate management and bean counters: show them the one line of standards-compliant CSS that's all that is necessary in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Opera (and just possibly in IE8/9/10), how it isn't supported in IE7, and the tortuous hacks and workarounds that are required to get something equivalent working there.

Memory leak using xslprocessor.valueof in 11.1.0.6.0 - 64bit ??

My company has made the decision to do all of our internal inter-system communication using XML. Often we may need to transfer thousands of records from one system to another and due to this (and the 32K limit in prior versions) we're implementing it in 11g. Currently we have Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 on 64 bit Linux.
This is a completely network/memory setup - the XML data comes in using UTL_HTTP and is stored in a CLOB in memory and then converted to a DOMDocument variable and finally the relevant data is extracted using xslprocessor.valueof calls.
While this is working fine for smaller datasets, I've discovered that repeated calls with very large documents cause the xslprocessor to run out of memory with the following message:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 21256 bytes

From further testing, it appears that the failure occurs after approximately 161,500 calls to xslprocessor.valueof however I'm sure this is dependent on the amount of server memory available (6 GB in my case).
I expect that we will try and log a TAR on this, but my DBA is on vacation right now. Has anyone else tried calling the xslprocessor 200,000 times in a single session?
I've tried to make my test code as simple as possible in order to track down the problem. This first block simply iterates through all of our offices asking for all of the employees at that office (there are 140 offices in the table).
DECLARE
CURSOR c_offices IS
SELECT office_id
FROM offices
ORDER BY office_id;
r_offices C_OFFICES%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN c_offices;
LOOP
FETCH c_offices INTO r_offices;
EXIT WHEN c_offices%NOTFOUND;
utl_interface_pkg.get_employees(r_offices.office_id);
END LOOP;
CLOSE c_offices;
END;
Normally I'd be returning a collection of result data from this procedure, however I'm trying to make things as simple as possible and make sure I'm not causing the memory leak myself.
Below is what makes the SOAP calls (using the widely circulated UTL_SOAP_API) to get our data and then extracts the relevant parts. Each office (call) should return between 200 and 1200 employee records.
PROCEDURE get_employees (p_office_id IN VARCHAR2)
l_request utl_soap_api.t_request;
l_response utl_soap_api.t_response;
l_data_clob CLOB;
l_xml_namespace VARCHAR2(100) := 'xmlns="' || G_XMLNS_PREFIX || 'EMP.wsGetEmployees"';
l_xml_doc xmldom.DOMDocument;
l_node_list xmldom.DOMNodeList;
l_node xmldom.DOMNode;
parser xmlparser.Parser;
l_emp_id NUMBER;
l_emp_first_name VARCHAR2(100);
l_emp_last_name VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
--Set our authentication information.
utl_soap_api.set_proxy_authentication(p_username => G_AUTH_USER, p_password => G_AUTH_PASS);
l_request := utl_soap_api.new_request(p_method => 'wsGetEmployees',
p_namespace => l_xml_namespace);
utl_soap_api.add_parameter(p_request => l_request,
p_name => 'officeId',
p_type => 'xsd:string',
p_value => p_office_id);
l_response := utl_soap_api.invoke(p_request => l_request,
p_url => G_SOAP_URL,
p_action => 'wsGetEmployees');
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_data_clob, cache=>FALSE);
l_data_clob := utl_soap_api.get_return_clob_value(p_response => l_response,
p_name => '*',
p_namespace => l_xml_namespace);
l_data_clob := DBMS_XMLGEN.CONVERT(l_data_clob, 1); --Storing in CLOB converted symbols (<">) into escaped values (<, &qt;, >). We need to CONVERT them back.
parser := xmlparser.newParser;
xmlparser.parseClob(parser, l_data_clob);
dbms_lob.freetemporary(l_data_clob);
l_xml_doc := xmlparser.getDocument(parser);
xmlparser.freeparser(parser);
l_node_list := xslprocessor.selectNodes(xmldom.makeNode(l_xml_doc),'/employees/employee');
FOR i_emp IN 0 .. (xmldom.getLength(l_node_list) - 1)
LOOP
l_node := xmldom.item(l_node_list, i_emp);
l_emp_id := dbms_xslprocessor.valueOf(l_node, 'EMPLOYEEID');
l_emp_first_name := dbms_xslprocessor.valueOf(l_node, 'FIRSTNAME');
l_emp_last_name := dbms_xslprocessor.valueOf(l_node, 'LASTNAME');
END LOOP;
xmldom.freeDocument(l_xml_doc);
END get_employees;
All of this works just fine for smaller result sets, or fewer iterations (only the first two or three offices). Even up to the point of failure the data is being extracted correctly - it just eventually runs out of memory. Is there any way to free up the xslprocessor? I've even tried issuing DBMS_SESSION.FREE_UNUSED_USER_MEMORY but it makes no difference.

Replying to both of you -
Line 206 is the first call to xslprocessor.valueof:
LINE TEXT
206 l_emp_id := dbms_xslprocessor.valueOf(l_node, 'EMPLOYEEID');
This is one function inside of a larger package (the UTL_INTERFACE_PKG). The package is just a grouping of these functions - one for each type of SOAP interface we're using. None of the others exhibited this problem, but then none of them return anywhere near this much data either.
Here is the contents of V$TEMPORARY_LOBS immediately after the crash:
SID CACHE_LOBS NOCACHE_LOBS ABSTRACT_LOBS
132 0 0 0
148 19 1 0
SID 132 is a SYS session and SID 148 is mine.
I've discovered with further testing that if I comment out all of the xslprocessor.valueof calls except for the first one the code will complete successfully. It executes the valueof call 99,463 times. If I then uncomment one of those additional calls, we double the number of executions to a theoretical 198,926 (which is greater than the 161,500 point where it usually crashes) and it runs out of memory again.

Huge memory leaks after upgrading from kernel 2.6.38(?)

My system began leaking memory some months ago and I've little to no idea what is causing it. The closest hint I can give is that I think these problems started around upgrading from Linux 2.6.38 to 2.6.39 and have continued with 3.0 aswell. Sometimes my whole system freezes due to extensive swapping (HDD usage led stays lit), sometimes it stops after consuming almost all of my 4 GB RAM.
I think the leak has to come from inside the kernel because all sysmon apps claim no application is eating too much RAM yet the system memory consumption is at 100 % or even using swap. Even after I kill Xorg the memory usage will stay at least at 2.0 GB, when it should be less than half a gig.
I'd like to guess the blame is on Nouveau, because it was giving me a hell of a time back with Linux 2.6.39. It had a habit of freezing my system when re-enabling suspended compositing (both with Kwin and Mutter). Also video playback was corrupted sometimes. These probs have since been fixed with Linux 3.0.
I cannot name any spesific app that might trigger this memory leaking. I don't play any games and mainly use Firefox, Chromium and VLC day in, day out.
There seems to be absolutely no way of reclaiming the reserved memory than rebooting the whole system. I have even tried unloading Nouveau.
I am currently running the [testing] repo with ~daily upgrades.

OK, this kind of surprised me. No wonder I couldn't find any relevant stuff while googling for kernel issues. I have had Strigi disabled for some time now because it is miserably broken, but I now disabled the whole Nepomuk too. Let's see if my problem now goes away or what...
The release of KDE 4.7 Beta 1 actually lines up with the launch of Linux 2.6.39 so this really might be the case. I moved to KDE 4.7 already with the first beta.

HTTPService + XML Load + Memory Leak

Hi all....
I have noticed a memory leak in my application. This leak was
not apparent when the application was completed some months back
which is what left me a little confused as all I have done since
was upgrade to Flex 3 and possibly updated / changed my Flash
player.
I think I have found the cause to this problem (below) but am
not 100% sure that it is the "actual" problem or any reasons to
back my thoughts up, so have listed what I have checked / tried
along the way (maybe I have missed something)....
My Discovery Process:
I started profiling my application but did not find anything
out of the ordinary. I did a code walk-through double checking I
had cleaned up after myself, removing and even nulling all items
etc but still to now success - the leak is still there.
I have profiled the app in the profiler for reasonably long
periods of time.
All the classes etc being used within the app are consistent
in size and instance amount and there is no sign of any apparent
leak.
I am using a HTTPService that is loading XML data which I am
refreshing every 5 seconds. On this 5 second data refresh some
class instances are incremented but are restored to the expected
amount after a GC has occurred. The GC seems to take longer, the
longer the app is running, therefore more and more instances are
being added to the app, but when the GC eventually runs it "seems"
to clear these instances to the expected amount.
After scratching my head for a while I decided to make a copy
of my application, rip everything out, and focus in my data load,
where I found a problem!
I have now just a HTTPService that loads an XML file every 5
seconds, and this is all I currently have in the app (as I ripped
the rest of the code out), e.g:
Code:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
....... creationComplete="initApp()" >
<mx:HTTPService
id="httpServiceResults"
url="
http://myIP:myPort/myRoot/myXML.cfm"
resultFormat="e4x"
result="httpResultHandler(event)" />
<script....... >
private var timerPulse:Timer;
private function initApp():void
httpServiceResults.send();
timerPulse = new Timer(5000, 0);
private function httpResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
timerPulse.start();
timerPulse.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerRefresh);
public function timerRefresh(eventObj:TimerEvent):void
timerPulse.stop();
timerPulse.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,
timerRefresh);
timerPulse.reset();
httpServiceResults.send();
</script>
</mx:Application>
This is pretty much the code I am currently using and it
leaks.
I ran and monitored this in both the profiler and the
activity / task manager, and after running the app for 1800 seconds
(30 min) in the profiler, the memory size grew from 50mg to 165mg
just sending the HTTPService.
I tried loading the service in multiple ways including in AS
rather than MXML creating new instances of it each time, resetting
it, nulling it etc... but nothing prevented this memory increase.
I then tried to load the XML using different methods such as
using the URLRequest and URLLoader which again caused a memory
leak.
What still confuses me is that this leak did not exist in the
previous version and not a great deal has changed since then apart
from upgrading to Flex 3 and possibly upgrading my Flash payer
(which I believe is a possible cause)
After looking into this issue a bit more deeply, I read a few
blogs / forums and other people are experiencing the same problems
- even with a lot bigger leaks in some cases all when reloading
large sets of XML data into Flex - however, I as of yet found no
solution to this leak - people with a similar problem believe it is
not due to a memory leak more a GC error, and others pointing
towards the Flash Player itself that is leaking - I don't really
know.
Findings so far during investigation of this issue:
* App leaks for both HTTPService and ULRRequest / URLLoader
methods
* App only leaks when calling a data loader
* The size of the leak seems to depend on the size of the
XML being loaded
* The size of the leak also seems to be affected by the
applications heaviness - the greater seems to enhance the leak
An interesting factor I have noticed is that if I copy the
XML from my "myXML.cfm" that I link to in my HTTPService and copy
the contents of the file into my own XML file stored within the
Flex project root itself: ""myXML.xml"" the leak disappears... like
it seems to link when loading the XML over a network, however as my
network knowledge is not great I am not sure what to make of this -
any ideas???
Could the connection to the XML document cause leaks??? is
there anything else that could cause this leak??? have I something
in my code sample that could cause this leak??? or could any of the
other things I have mentioed cause this leak???
Any help / ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon.

I also observed heavy memory leak from using httpservice with
XML data. I am using Flex3 builder under Linux. My Flex application
polls httpservice every 10 seconds. The reply is a short XML
message less than 100 bytes. This simple polling will consume 30+
MB of memory every hour. I leave it idling for several hours and it
took 200 MB of memory. No sign of garbage collection at all.

Memory Leak in Report after upgrading from Crystal Reports 10.5 to 13.0.1/2

I'm currently having an issue with crystal reports 13 (Visual Studio 2010), We have recently updated our CRM Solution to use the newer crystal reports runtime as we are now using Visual Studio 2010,
We have a client who has a report which contains a sub report which basically contains a Image pulled from a MSSQL Database as a BLOB Image Field which is basically scanned images relating to the report, Previously the report worked fine before the Client Updated our CRM Solution to the latest version, Now for each individual page which has the scanned image the application is swallowing 100 MB of ram, as there are around 32 of these scanned images and our solution is a 32 bit application we are getting out of memory errors due to the whole 2GB addressable to a 32 bit process limitation,
The images are around 4MP and stored in JPG format in the database so should not be consuming over 100mb of ram per image displayed by the report even if they are being stored uncompressed in RGBA Format,
Likewise when viewing the pages of the report manually after a specific page (when the amount of memory addressable by a 32 bit application gets hit) the images just don't display and then any pages with the image are not being displayed and not giving an error / exception.
I have tried re-saving the .rpt files to cause them to be in the newer crystal reports format and this is still happening, likewise I have tried un-installing the 13.0.1 and installing the 13.0.2 runtime.
I am just about to check SQL which pulls the image for the sub report, although I am sure for each sub report it should only be pulling one row with one jpeg image in case the sub report is holding quite a few images but only displaying the first.
Likewise If all else fails I will try re-creating the report as I have experienced issues with some other specific reports doing strange things after being updated from the 2008 runtime which I really am not liking the idea of due to how fiddly crystal reports can be, It is good and does the job but takes far longer than some other solutions to get what you are trying to achieve done.
This report had been working fine for 2+ years before the client updated to the most recent version of our CRM Software.
Has anyone else experienced simular issues with the latest runtime.

I have just been reviewing the code for this and it appears that the sub report is pulling all of the images,
It is strange that previously this was working fine seems like the newer runtime does not dispose of the data once it has been displayed on a sub report which would explain memory leak as it will call the select again pulling approx 60 images which are probably approx 8 - 900KB plus sub report + uncompressed image to display and then filtering.
I am about to modify this report and will post if fix i put in place resolves the issue.

Repost in JDBC section ... very serious issue but it may be due to Oracle or
to WL ... does it happen if you test inside WL itself?
How many iterations does it take to blow? How long? Does changing to a
different driver (maybe Cloudscape) have the same result?
Peace,

Memory leak in Crystal Reports 2008

We are running CR runtime 2008 version 12.3.4 and it looks like there is a memory leak. This is what we see happen (see chart#1). So just between these 4 report runs memory usage as gone up 64mb. We loose 20mb of memory with each report that we call. We actually see memory keep going up until the application fails due to out of memory issues around 1100mb of memory usage. This has been an issue ever since crystal 2008 was released we did not see this issue with Crystal Reports 11 or 10.
chart#1:
memory using in MB after opening and closing a small CR
Start 123
open rpt 225
close rpt 204
open rpt 245
close rpt 226
open rpt 266
close rpt 247
open rpt 287
close rpt 268
When is SAP going to address this issue? Our work around for the last 2 years has been to close the CR application and reopen it multiple times a day to free up this lost memory and to revent "Out of memory" errors. We will be forced to move to Reporting Services if this issue is not addressed soon.

Hi Josh,
There are no memory leaks in CR 10, 11, 2008 or 2010 or 2011.
Make sure you are closing and disposing all of your report objects, database connections, Data Sets etc. And then calling GC.Collect.
And if you want to pursue this I suggest you give more details than just saying there is a leak and show a bunch of numbers that mean nothing without the code to verify those numbers.
Thank you
Don

Memory leak in MAX Preview resolved by build 411

I was experiencing a memory leak while using the TLF that came as part of Flex 4 MAX Preview. Over the course of several hours, instances of a class called TextAccImpl would rapidly accumulate to the point where they accounted for over 50% of memory usage in my application, severely degrading performance.
Upgrading to weekly build 411 resolved this issue - I didn't try with build 409 to see if it was also affected.
Posting this as I wasn't sure if this entry in the change notes; "Fix a memory leak issue with the TextLayoutFormat cache" was related or not.

If you modify the code just to call theCon=scp->getConnection(); and scp->releaseConnection(theCon); in an infinite loop, in as many threads as you like but initially in just one thread, does this program's memory usage stabilise or does it continue to use increasingly more and more memory until it crashes due to lack of memory?
