High uccx engine memory usage in uccx8.2 su4

Hi all,
We are facing High uccx engine memory usage ,our system version uccx 8.2 su4,when ever this problem hapening we are facing all agent desktop failure also.Any one facing this same issue.Kindly attached RTMT screen shot.
Thanks.

Hi Renji,
This is a known defect CSCtn87921 and its caused by a memory leak in BIPPA service
-Please follow the workaround of restarting the BIPPA service from serviceability section on both servers if present
-Check if the alert disappears
-It should have been fixed in SU4 but apparently not
Keep me posted
Thanks,
Prashanth

Unnaturally high cpu and memory usage

Hello.
I have installed WL 6.1 and WL Portal 4.0 on a w2k machine. It has a
800 cpu (I think), and 512 RAM.
What happens is: After server startup, everything is low and nice. But
after a few jsp compilations, the cpu jumps to 100% and stays there,
even after the page has been returned and the browser says "done".
Actually, memory usage isn't that high; the java process is using
about 50 megs of memory. But it has exceeded this a couple of times,
and used 200+ MB.
The database is also running on another machine.
I tried deploying the same application on a locally installed
WL/Portal, and the same thing happened, only with much more memory
usage, about 200 - 250 megs. My machine became useless, and I had to
shut down the server.
What is causing this? Is the server's configuration totally screwed,
or can some code be doing this? Btw, I know I am the only user on this
server...
On other threads here, I have seen people supplying server dumps of
processes etc. How do I see this dump, or what processes within the
server are running?
I am very grateful for any help with this.

Take a thread dump of the server. You should at least be able to see
what it's doing.
On UNIX, you can send a SIGQUIT. (ie kill -3 the process)
On Windows, you can CTRL-BREAK in the window.
If you search for thread dump on edocs.bea.com, you should see a full
explanation.
Also, these groups can be searched on groups.google.com.

High Eden Java Memory Usage/Garbage Collection

Hi,
I am trying to make sure that my Coldfusion Server is optomised to the max and to find out what is normal limits.
Basically it looks like at times my servers can run slow but it is possible that this is caused by a very old bloated code base.
Jrun can sometimes have very high CPU usage so I purchased Fusion Reactor to see what is going on under the hood.
Here are my current Java settings (running v6u24):
java.args=-server -Xmx4096m -Xms4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:PermSize=256m -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=600000 -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:+UseParallelGC -Xbatch ........
With regards Memory, the only memory that seems to be running a lot of Garbage Collection is the Eden Memory Space. It climbs to nearly 1.2GB in total just under every minute at which time it looks like GC kicks in and the usage drops to about 100MB.
Survivor memory grows to about 80-100MB over the space of 10 minutes but drops to 0 after the scheduled full GC runs. Old Gen memory fluctuates between 225MB and 350MB with small steps (~50MB) up or down when full GC runs every 10 minutes.
I had the heap set to 2GB initally in total giving about 600MB to the Eden Space. When I looked at the graphs from Fusion Reactor I could see that there was (minor) Garbage Collection about 2-3 times a minute when the memory usage maxed out the entire 600MB which seemed a high frequency to my untrained eye. I then upped the memory to 4GB in total (~1.2GB auto given to Eden space) to see the difference and saw that GC happened 1-2 times per minute.
Is it normal in Coldfusion that the Eden memory would grow so quickly and have garbage collection run so often? i.e do these graphs look normal?
Also should I somehow redistribute the memory available to give the Eden memory more since it seems to be where all the action is?
Any other advice for performance improvements would be much appreciated.
Note: These graphs are not from a period where jrun had high CPU.
Here are the graphs:
PS Eden Space Graph
PS Survivor Space Graph
PS Old Gen Graph
PS Perm Gen Graph
Heap Memory Graph
Heap/Non Heap Memory Graph
CPU Graph
Request Average Execution Time Graph
Request Activity Graph
Code Cache Graph

Hi,
>Is it normal in Coldfusion that the Eden memory would grow so quickly and have garbage collection run so often?
Yes normal to garbage collect Eden often. That is a minor garbage collection.
>Also should I somehow redistribute the memory available to give the Eden memory more since it seems to be where all the action is?
Sometimes it is good to set Eden (Eden and its two Survivor Spaces combined make up New or Young Generation part of JVM heap) to a smaller size. I know your thinking - what make it less, but I want to make it bigger. Give less a try (sometimes less = more, bigger not = better) and monitor the situation. I like to use -Xmn switch, some sources say to use other method/s. Perhaps you could try java.args=-server -Xmx4096m -Xms4096m -Xmn172m etc. I better mention make a backup copy of jvm.config before applying changes. Having said that now you know how you can set the size to bigger if you want.
I think the JVM is perhaps making some poor decisions with sizing the heap. With Eden growing to 1Gb then being evacuated not many objects are surviving and therefore not being promoted to Old Generation. This ultimately means the object will need to be loaded again latter to Eden rather than being referenced in the Old generation part of the heap. Adds up to poor performance.
>Any other advice for performance improvements would be much appreciated.
You are using Parallel garbage collector. Perhaps you could enable that to run multi-threaded reducing the time duration of the garbage collections, jvm args ...-XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=N etc where N = CPU cores (eg quad core = 4).

High Page Pool Memory Usage on a Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster

Hi,
may someone has a similar Problem or can give me a helping Hand.
I'm having a 9Node Cluster ( Windows 2012 R2 , fully Patched from RTM Version on )
The Cluster is connected to a SAN which is an Equallogic ( Firmware 6.11). HitKit Driver 4.7.1
The System running clean and without any Event Logs until the Page Pool Usage of the Nodes turn over 15 GB of Paged pool Memory.
I monitore that via a Performance Counter ( \Memory\Pool Paged Bytes)
otherwise I have no indication by for example the Process View, the Calculated Sum on the Overview ( TaskManager / Memory ) but shows on the contraditory the 15GB an Memory Usage.
I downloaded the RAMMap Tool from Sysinternals but that doesnt show me any possible Information for the information , acutally the Information differs from RAMMap to the Performance Counter ( RAMMap = 251MB, Performance Counter = 15GB )
Just to make that point clear , there is No Information beside the Sum of Page File on the System Page and the PerfCounter that so much Page Pool Memory is used by any Process . Therefor it is hidden which process "needs" it.
I tried many thinks , like search for a Memory Hole in the Drivers , Hyper-V Stack , Equallogic and hoped for resolution with any new Patch which had a "Memory Leak" Information to them , but so far none has made a difference , maybe someone
has the same Problem.
My Cluster has routher large VMs on it compared to the Numa Seize ( VM 4-128GB, on DELL R720 ( 2x CPU (8C) 384GB RAM )
( The VMs have also a High IO Usage , as there RAM is used as a RAM Database ( zb. Mongo DB ) )
Regards
M

Hi Alex,
there is something wrong here and not an "normal" Memory Leak , as for that reason I would see the amount of Page Pool Memory assigned to a given Process.
If that would be the Case I could use RAMMap or even Vmmap to adresse the Paged Pool usage, but those Tools dont reflect the Usage like the PerfCounter does.
The Windows Driver Kit for a 2012 R2 System is WDK 8.1 which has a necessity of VS2013 ( Important: Before
installing WDK 8.1 Update, you need to install Visual Studio 2013. See the Visual Studio links on this page.) My Last Hope was to get poolmon.exe and identify the Source for the "Paged Pool" Usage .
We are having that Problem now since the Early Days of Windows 2012R2 and because the Usage is quite "hidden" we only found out , when we ran out of Memory without knowing why.
Worst Usage Rates where up to 150GB of Paged Pool !! given a RAM 385GB ( Dell R720) that is quite a Number.
Im wondering if noone else with a cluster ( seems that the Node numbers in a Cluster and the "RAM" Seize of the VM ( >32GB ) have a tremendous impact on that given Problem , with a 4 Node Cluster the Problem isnt so big )

High (and increasing) memory usage: Windows Driver Foundation

Hello! I updated my Z50-70 to Windows 10 a few days ago, using the clean install method. Everything works great but I noticed one problem. There is one process "Windows Driver Foundation - user-mode driver framework" which consumes great amounts of RAM. But the worrying thing is that when I start the computer that process doesn't use too much memory, but it keeps increasing, slowly but surely, and it doesn't seem to stop. I have done some research and apparently it could be caused by some faulty driver. Does anybody have the same problem? Is it any way to identify what is causing this problem? Thanks.

High CPU and Memory Usage

Hi
I have CPU usage on 100%. If i dont play games just surfing on internet its like 15-30%. But when i start game like GTA IV it goes to 100%.
I have HP P6 2490eo and Windows 10 Build 9926. I have almost 200Gt free space on my C Drive. And this problem started about 3 days ago. I havent done virus software full check, but i think my pc does it automatically. And i have done "not full" test wih Windows Defender. With that i mean like fast test
Could it be W10? or is my CPU broken?
Thanks For Help

Late98, welcome to the forum.
I haven't used Windows 10. However, I believe that your problem is caused by it. I suggest running Windows Update if it is still available. Also, if you haven't done so, you should install any patches that are available for the game. The game is old enough that it shouldn't be causing problems for the components in your computer.

Ultra high memory usage when deleting a slide show

Hallo,
I have a DVD project with several menus and slideshows and a huge flowchart. I wanted to delete one of the slide shows. What happened then was that the memory usage rised up to over 2 GB. Not the usage of the exe shown in the windows task manager under "processes", but the swap file usage.
The first time I waited for like 5 minutes, and then Encore closed itself. Without any error message.
The next time I waited as long again, but then the swap file usage went down slowly again. After that Encore refreshed its window. The flow chart was what you could best describe as "broken". Encore then stated some abnormal condition and offered me to save the file, and recommended to save it under a different file name. I clicked on "ok", but instead of a file save dialog a C++ runtime error box appeared. I click "ok" for that, then the "you should save but under a different name" box appeared again. I clicked on "ok" again, the C++ error reappeared, and after clicking on "ok" there Encore closed itself.
I made a screenshot on which you can see the high swap file memory usage and the broken flowchart. You can download the screenshot under
http://www.digitale-bibliothek.de/Downloads/ScreenEncoreDVD.jpg
I will now try to first delete all references to the slideshow in the flow chart. But as I cannot delete an asset that is still used in a slideshow or a timeline, Encore DVD should also prevent me from deleting objects that are used in the flowchart, if it is such a problem for Encore to delete the object then.
Regards,
Christian Kirchhoff

I'm a little confused as to where you tried to delete the slideshow from.
Was it from the actual Project Browser, where all the assets are listed?
Can you try deleting the surplus slideshow from there, and let us know what happens please?

CF8 jrun.exe memory usage

Hello-
Thanks in advance. I've installed an eval version of CF8 on
my (future) production server running Windows 2003 Server Standard.
I've noticed jrun.exe is using about 160+MB of RAM. That seems high
to me, so I installed it on my development machine and noticed it's
using the same amount. Is this normal? It seems high considering
CF7 was using about 55MB. I've scoured the forums (and Google) to
see if there's any info on this, but no luck.
Your input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter

I meant eight hundred megabytes to one gigabyte, of RAM, in
use, times two instances per physical box. :)
We're doing about 3.5 million page hits per day on one
app/web server for a corporate intranet. So we run high in the
memory usage department.

Sudden high memory usage, can't find cause

I did a big update yesterday, and today I've started to notice very high memory usage. I wasn't keeping track before so I can't say how much it increased, but I've never had problems before, and the slowness and lack of responsiveness have been noticeable, though I haven't ruled out other possible causes for that. Here's the output of 'free -m':
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 7971 7826 144 0 1 149
-/+ buffers/cache: 7674 296
Swap: 9215 458 8757
It wasn't as bad as that right after startup, though usage still seemed suspiciously high. What makes this whole thing a mystery to me is that none of my running processes seem to be using that much memory! Here's the output of 'top -b -n 1':

I wouldn't expect the '%MEM's to add up to exactly the real usage, but this isn't even close! So, what could be using up all of my memory? I have /tmp mounted to ram, but that's only a few megabytes. I really have no idea where to go from here.
The relevant portion of my pacman log is below, since I don't know how to get just a compact list of the updated packages. Most notably, the kernel was upgrades, from 3.9.9-1 to 3.10.3-1.

Okay, so it turns out that this was caused by the Catalyst bug described in this post. Reverting to the 13.6 version solved the problem. Lesson learned: if there's a ton of memory being used that isn't owned by a running process, start looking for bug reports involving drivers. Especially drivers known for being, well, pretty bad. Was there any method I could have used that would have told me that Catalyst was using all my ram, or is kernel-space memory usage pretty much a black box?

"Installer" high memory usage

Hey Guys, I been having problems with my mac. I'm running 10.8.5 on my 2008 Power mac tower and recently I have been having problems with my mac
going real slow. I opened Activity Monitor and Noticed something called "Installer" and it was using 90% of my memory and the only thing I can do is quit the process. Does anyone know why this is happening?

I ran EtreCheck and i'll post my results. I will add more ram after I fix the problem, and adding an SSD is a good option. I thought about it but
I was holding off because I was thinking of buying a new computer. I will try to keep my sysstem drive clean in the future. After Linc Davis posted about the Trojan i'm planning of doing that. I have a cloned mac drive, I updated the other day using SuperDuper.

UCCX 7 Heap Memory Usage Exceeded Error

UCCX 7.0.(1) SR5
Getting the following error when updating or adding new script applications:
"It is not recommended to update the application as Engine heap memory usage exceeded configured threshold. Click OK to continue and Cancel to exit."
Apparently this is an alert that was built into SR4 and is configurable under the System Parameters.
Does anyone have information on what processes use the heap memory in UCCX or how to monitor the usage?

As Tom can attest to by now, this is something of an iceberg with big sharp edges below the surface.
The Java heap is fixed at 256MB on CCX. The Java heap is used by Tomcat as execution memory. In addition to this, applications, scripts, and other repository data is loaded into the heap at runtime. Depending on your environment, you may be approaching the limits of the heap, which cannot be changed. If the heap size is reached, it will be dumped and impact calls.
What have you been doing as of late on your CCX server? How many applications and scripts do you have? Are any of these using XML files extensively?
Note there is also a possible bug where the MIVR engine does not properly release all objects loaded into the heap at the end of a script execution leading to a memory leak of sorts. The discussion [debate] over this behavior is continuing. As of this week, it may be represented under

Very high memory usage..possible memory leak? Solaris 10 8/07 x64

Hi,
I noticed yesterday that my machine was becoming increasingly slow, where once it was pretty snappy. It's a Compaq SR5250NX with 1GB of RAM. Upon checking vmstat, I noticed that the "Free" column was ~191MB. Now, the only applications I had open were FireFox 2.0.11, GAIM, and StarOffice. I closed all of them, and the number reported in the "Free" column became approximately 195MB. "Pagefile" was about 5.5x that size. There were no other applications running and it's a single user machine, so I was the only one logged in. System uptime: 9 days.
I logged out, logged back in, to see if that had an affect. It did not. Rebooted and obviously, that fixed it. Now with only FireFox, GAIM, and a terminal open, vmstat reports "Free" as ~450MB. I've noticed if I run vmstat every few seconds, the "Free" total keeps going down. Example:

In any event, we can see that FireFox is sucking up 145MB (??!?!!? crazy...) XSun, 200MB, and java 190MB. I'm running Java Desktop System (Release 3) so I assume that is what accounts for the the high memory usage RE: java process. But, XSun, 200MB?
Is this normal and I just need to toss another gig in, or what?
Thanks

Norton reports high memory usage with firefox and it crashes often

Norton antivirus 2011 has pop up warnings reporting high memory usage from Firefox. I have been getting theem often and my computer is crashing often after those pop up warnings. Thanks

Safe mode did not help.
I have disabled ALL extensions and plug-ins, but the problem with "zig-zag" memory usage still remains (I've not tried to leave browser open for the night yet).
I think I'll do clean reinstall with completely new empty profile (without sync'ed information) to try this out. If this works, I'll start adding stuff (configuration, sync, features, etc) to see what causes the problem.

Very high memory usage with Yahoo Mail

After using Yahoo Mail for an hour or so my memory usage increases to a very high level.
Just now, after reading and deleting about 50 e-mails (newsletters etc.) I noticed Firefox 17 running slowly and checked the memory usage in Windows Task Manager (I am using XP) and it was 1.2 Gb. My older laptop only has 2 Gb of RAM. Yahoo Mail was the only thing open at the time.
I never notice this problem with Gmail which I mainly use. However I use Yahoo Mail for quite a few newsletters etc. that are less important and which I only check once a week or so.
I found the following bug report about 3 years old which almost exactly describes my problem.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506771
But this report involves a much earlier Firefox version, and at the end it seems to say that the problem was fixed. However it well describes my current issue with Firefox 17, especially the continual increase in memory while using the up/down arrow keys to scroll through Yahoo e-mails.
Is this normal to have to shut down and reopen Firefox every hour or so to clean out the memory? For some reason I only notice this when using Yahoo Mail. After using many other sites and having multiple tabs open for several hours I rarely reach that kind of memory usage. About the highest I've seen with other sites after a couple of hours is 600 Kb which is roughly when I start notice slower response times.

Extremely high memory usage after upgrading to Firefox 12

After I upgraded to Firefox 12, I began frequently experiencing Firefox memory usage ballooning extremely high (2-3GB after a few minutes of light browsing). Sometimes it will drop back down to a more reasonable level (a few hundred MB), sometimes it hangs (presumably while trying to garbage collect everything), and sometimes it crashes. Usually the crashing thread cannot be determined, but when it can be, it is in the garbage collection code ( [https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?signature=js%3A%3Agc%3A%3AMarkChildren%28JSTracer*%2C+js%3A%3Atypes%3A%3ATypeObject*%29] ).
I was able to capture an about:memory report when Firefox had gotten to about 1.5 GB and have attached an image.
A couple of things I've tried. I have lots of tabs open (though the Don't load tabs until selected option is enabled), so I copied my profile, kept all my extensions enabled, but closed all my tabs. I then left a page open to http://news.google.com/ and it ran fine for several days, whereas my original profile crashes multiple times a day.
I also tried disabling most of my extensions, leaving the following extensions that I refuse to browse without:
Adblock Plus
BetterPrivacy
NoScript
PasswordMaker
Perspectives
Priv3
However, the problem still happened in that case.
Don't know if any of this helps or not. I'm looking forward to trying Firefox 13 when it comes out.

hello, thanks for reporting back with detailed information.
from a brief look at your extensions i don't recognize any known (to me at least) memory leaking ones. in the last weeks there were also reports about the java plugin causing high memory consumption in combination with firefox 12 - in case you have it installed in firefox > addons > plugins try disabling it for a few days & test how firefox is behaving with many tabs.
& although probably not related to the memory problems you could update your graphics driver to get better results with hardware acceleration in firefox - this is the latest driver by intel for your model & os:
