Issue in enabling dbx rtc for memory leak analysis

Any help on this is highly appreciated ...
Following is the issue:
pass@odcsmoke1> dbx -C xfer
changes (topic)
The major new features of this release relative to 6.1 are:
o The dbx environment variable "rtc_use_traps" has been removed.
Traps are used automatically as long as the hardware is UltraSparc.
o There is now some basic support for looking at core files from
different versions of Solaris. See `help core mismatch' for details.
o Stepping to a specific function support. See `help step to' for details.
o Fortran intrinsics support on Intel has been removed.
o Dbx automatically translates some old dbxenv variables to their new
names. See `help dbxenv' for details.
o The default command-line editing mode is now emacs. See "How do I enable
command-line editing?" in FAQ for details (`help FAQ').
o Two new collector commands have been implemented: `pause' and `resume'.
See `help collector' for details.
o The collector enable_once command has been removed.
o The collector store command has been extended to include experiment groups.

Andrew is right, dbx 6.2 is very old; technically, it is supported on Solaris 10, but as you can see for yourself, there are issues to be fixed.
Only limited support is available for this version, so if you have a support contract, please report this problem through the support channel. Better yet (and in case if you don't have support contract), upgrade to a more modern version. Since you are on Solaris 10, I'd recommend latest version of Sun Studio - 12 update 1; it is free for all uses and can be downloaded from here: http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/.
Should you have any questions about the upgrade, please post it here.

How to configure license file for Memory Leak tool and WL Server 9.2?

(I posted to general JRockit forum before realizing existence of this forum which is probably more applicable.)
Here's our problem:
Running latest version of WL 9.2 MP3 and JRockit Mission Control 3.0.1
Able to run Mission Control, and connect to the WL Server and to run View Console with no problems.
I can't get Memory Leak tool to run because it complains about needing a license file.
First I tried with off the shelf WL 9.2 MP3.
Get error:
A license for Memory Leak Detector could not be found on the JRockit at (1.5) weblogic.Server (192).
Error: Can not find component Memory Leak Detector for JRockit * in the license file. Please check http://www.jrockit.com/license for license updates.
So I downloaded license file from JRockit download site - wls92.zip. It contains several files, but no clear instructions on what to do with these files. I copied one of these files "LIC-WLSP92.txt" to my JRockit home as C:\bea\JROCKI~1\jre\license.bea
Tried again. Restarted WL server. Restarted JRockit Mission Control.
Get error: A license for Memory Leak Detector could not be found on the JRockit at (1.5) weblogic.Server (3052).
The license file does not exist at: C:\bea\JROCKI~1\jre\license.bea
Any advise on how to install license or who to contact for help?

Installed Mission Control 3.0.3.
Got following message when I attempted to run Memory Leak:

Please check http://www.jrockit.com/license for license updates.
I believe that we're using the latest downloads of WebLogic 9.2.x and JRockit.
WebLogic is running using 9.2.3 and JRockit build R27.4.0-90_CR358515-94243-1.5.0_12-20080118-1154-windows-ia2

Could WebLogic be misconfigured?
Any diagnostics to help figure out the licensing?
Any other ideas?

JVM 1.5.0_11 and libumem -- need stack trace help for memory leak

I'm trying to track down the cause of some memory growth in a java application. In my tests, the java heap appears to remain stable, but the overall memory footprint of the jvm process continues to grow (observed with pmap).
I've run my application with libumem and have found what appears to be the culprit, but the memory allocation is in libjvm.so and I'm looking for ideas what might cause it.

What causes this invocation in the JVM? Is there a known memory leak associated with this?
Thanks in advance for the assistance.

More on this issue. The included program will continually allocate memory on the process heap until the JVM cannot allocate memory and it exits with the following exception.

Dbx rtc shared memory check

Hi!
There are two programs (server + client ) which are interconnected via shared mem.
When Im trying to check client program with dbx( -C and check -access ), server is always dumping core in protocol classes of shmem and client is hanging on handshaking procedure. Is there is any way to disable DBX RTC(access checks ) to put traps or mark somehow the shared memory which is used by client program ?

Hi Leonard!
Threre is the problem with sources and stuff for server binary - it is "third side" software with no syms at all. so the core file is quite useless.
Ive found out the way to run correctly with server and mem access check - it is all about servers parameters about places(addr + page size rounding) of shmem and also Ive figured out another problem - there is an errors in server logs for semaphors and shmem lock calls. It looks like dbx is trapping whole mmap area from client.
Im still on investigation so I will post any usefull results here.
btw, skippatch is working quite strange actually...
Here is an example:
%dbx -C ./some_binary
(dbx)modules > ./loaded_modules
do some preparation stuff with output files so the file should looks like this( Ive ran with sed ):
rtc skippatch wait3.o
rtc skippatch wait4.o
rtc skippatch waitid.o
rtc skippatch waitpid.o
rtc skippatch walkstack.o
(dbx)check -access
(dbx) <copy/paste prepared file >
(dbx)run
theoretically, RTC should not work at all just because generated and pasted file contains all objects and librarys which is used by target binary.
but actually, RTC is patching and working as usual.
ps. 5.10 Generic_138888-01 sun4u sparc SUNW,Netra-T12 with dbx 7.7 ( from sunstudio 12.1 ).
pps. Ive read your short HOWTO about DBX RTC usage from the blog - very useful! Tommorow I will try to go with LD_AUDIT option.

Issue while enabling Access Control for a Coherence server node

Hi
Im trying to enable access control for a Coherence server node, using the default Keystore login method shipped with Coherence. When i start the server i get the error "java.security.AccessControlException: Unsufficient rights to perform the operation". Please see below for the sequence of steps I've followed to enable access control. I just need to be enable Authentication (not authorization) at this stage
1. I have added the following entry in the Coherence Operational override file
<security-config>
          <enabled system-property="tangosol.coherence.security">true</enabled>
          <login-module-name>Coherence</login-module-name>
          <access-controller>
               <class-name>com.tangosol.net.security.DefaultController</class-name>

                         <param-value>keystore.jks</param-value>
                    </init-param>
                    <init-param id="2">

                         <param-value>permissions.xml</param-value>
                    </init-param>
               </init-params>
          </access-controller>
          <callback-handler>
               <class-name>com.sun.security.auth.callback.TextCallbackHandler</class-name>
          </callback-handler>
     </security-config>
2. The following is the entry in the Permissions.xml
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<permissions>
<grant>
<principal>
<class>javax.security.auth.x500.X500Principal</class>
<name>CN=admin,OU=Coherence,O=Oracle,C=US</name>
</principal>
<permission>
<target>*</target>
<action>all</action>
</permission>
</grant>
</permissions>
3. The following is the content of the Login configuration file "Coherence_Login.conf"
Coherence {
com.tangosol.security.KeystoreLogin required
keyStorePath="keystore.jks";
4. The following is the command line tag for starting the server
java -server -showversion -Djava.security.auth.login.config=Coherence_Login.conf -Xms%memory% -Xmx%memory% -Dtangosol.coherence.cacheconfig=PROXY-cache-config.xml -Dtangosol.coherence.override=FOL-coherence-override.xml -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=6789 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dtangosol.coherence.security=true -cp "%coherence_home%\lib\coherence.jar" com.tangosol.net.DefaultCacheServer %1
Following is the output on the Console when running the command. It asks for a username and password for the JKS store (If i provide the wrong password, it gives a different error, which shows that it is able to authenticate aganst the Keystore). After i put in the password, it throws the error as shown below "java.security.AccessControlException: Unsufficient rights to perform the operation"

Did you create the weblogic domain with the Oracle Webcenter Spaces option selected? This should install the relevant libraries into the domain that you will need to deploy your application. My experience is based off WC 11.1.1.0. If you haven't, you can extend your domain by re-running the Domain Config Wizard again (WLS_HOME/common/bin/config.sh)

Looking for memory leak in labview 6.02

dear all,
my labview program needs an increasing amount of memory when running (at the time about 12k/s) which leads to swapping memory on my hdd.
i have found out that calling cluster references like Controls[] or decos[] leads to this kind of memory leak and made a work around for that (simply calling it only once at runtime) but there are more memory leak(s)which i cannot find. The bugs that i have found searching the labview resources does not answer my problem.
does anybody already found out more memory leak problems ?
thanks

I have been seeing similar behavior; I too have not found all the
leaks. I think I have slowed the allocation by replacing some of my
'build array' functions with the combination of 'initialize array'
followed by 'replace array subset'. The drawback to doing it this way
is that you have a fixed maximum number of elements allocated just once
rather than allowing an array to grow incrementally. Please let me know
if you try removing build arrays and if that helps.
By the way, there is a checkbox under the options menu to deallocate
memory as soon as possible - if you don't mind that your program runs
more slowly, this may help to avoid the problem, at least temporarily.

KeyboardFocusManager reason for memory leak?

Hi all,
with a memory leak detector we found that our application has massive memory leaks after opening and closing a JDialog and the reason we found was the following:
The KeyboardFocusManager has a private static HashMap in which the actual focus in each window is stored. This is done by storing key/value-pairs in the HashMap with window as a key and the Component having the focus on this window as the value. Now you can throw the reference to the component away by using e.g. theComponent.setEnabled(false) - the KeyboardFocusManager then stores the pair window/null in the HashMap - but we didn't find any callable method to remove a key/value-pair from the HashMap and so the reference to the JDialog (as the key!!) stays resident and we have the reason for the memory leak. Now I have a few questions to this problem:
1. Is it right in your opinion, that there is no method to delete the entry from this Hashtable?
2. If this is the case - we have the opinion that there must be a good time to delete this entry (e.g. when disposing the dialog). Do you see if there is an obvious reason that this opinion is false?
3. If no do you think this problem can be accepted as a bug by sun
Thanks in advance and greetings from
Holger

How to configure JProfiler6 to monitor tomcat6.0 for memory leak

Hello,
Can anyone help. I am tring to work out the memory leak of my Web Application running on the local server. I have been told that jprofiler is a good tool for monitoring memory. I have dowloaded jprofiler6, but I dont know how to config the setting.
what i have done is:
1.from the Quickstart window->An application server, locally or remotely
2.follow the wizard step by step
1)choose application server Apache Tomcat 6.x
2)application is located "on this computer"
3) Chose JVM vendor
4) wait for a connection from the JProfiler GUI
5) Locate the start script :C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\bin\startup.bat
6) port:8849
7)finished
After i done these, a error message came out said:
"Could not connect ot 127.0.0.1:8849.Please make sure that the remote address is correct, the remote program is started properly and the netword route allows socket connections."

Hi,
The recommended solution is to download Oracle JRockit Mission Control (available here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jrockit/index.html) and install on your server. The installers include Oracle JRockit JVM as well as Mission Control, and are free of license checks.
If that solution for some reason is unfeasible you can download legacy development license files from here (http://download2.bea.com/pub/license/All%20Products/BEA_WebLogic.zip).
The license you are looking for is named “LIC-WLRT20.txt”. Rename it to license.bea, and follow the instructions at http://edocs.bea.com/jrockit/geninfo/diagnos/conf_run.html#wp1077371

Possible causes for memory leak in Java and Tomcat

I would like to enquire what are the typical mistakes done by programmers that will cause memory leak in Java and Tomcat.

Please refer the below site. It will give more points about the memory leak and how to rectify it.

App performs inconsistantly...how to check for memory leaks?

I (was!) almost done with an app to submit to the app store but when I tested the final build on my iPad it started performing strangely.
It had never done this before, but it's crashing almost CONSTANTLY. Every few seconds or so. I haven't changed much of anything since the last time I tested it and I can't really figure out what would cause it to crash so much.
From the menu you can choose a button to go to other frames in the main timeline. Half of those work, half of them make the app crash. This is new and I think I might have a memory leak somewhere because it's consistently inconsistent.
At first I thought I had a stack overflow somewhere; however, testing in mobile debug mode doesn't cause any errors or even warning output messages - nothing. It runs just fine.
So is it possible that the problem is stemming from hardware? I can't imagine this app would be using up too much memory - it is full of vectors, but there's nothing more complicated than touch and drag because it's just a puzzle.
How would I test something like this if debug mode isn't throwing any exceptions?

You may want to try MonsterDebugger (free, open source). It also serves as a profiler. You might be able to get a better understanding on what your app is doing (and why it might be breaking on the iPad).

Memory leak analysis

I've been writing a multi-threaded, non-blocking I/O game server and I'm kinda taking a break from hammering out code at the moment to analyze how efficient the server is. With 100-300 clients each transmitting data and receiving a proper response once every second or so, the server has almost 0% CPU load (on an AMD 4000+ 64bit CPU) so I am very happy with this.
However, I find that with -verbose:gc on, I can watch the memory every so slowly leak away.. for instance, I will lose around 3 kb / minute with an initial stack of 128mb, 256mb max with a few clients, and this can get as high as 100kb / minute with 200 clients hammering the server. I have looked quite hard at the code and I cannot see anywhere where I am continuously allocating memory and retaining references to it, so everything should be getting GC'd, but some additional kilobytes remain after each GC.
What I am wondering is, how can I profile the memory usage to, for instance, have an up-to-date count of how many objects of type X (including Strings and ArrayLists and stuff) that are currently in existance at any given time? This would at least give me a better idea of where this potential memory leak is?
Thanks in advance,
James

You may find the JVM is still warming up. It attempts to optimise as it goes and can still be consuming more memory as it re-optimises.

Memory Leak Issue in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
We have OBIEE 11.1.1.5 installed on a 32-bit Windows Server. We had almost 10GB of free space yesterday, but after a few users logged in, the free space started coming down until we were left with no space at all.
Since then we have removed all the files that we could and created more and more space, but OBIEE seems to be eating it all up. I have seen a few posts for such issues with the Linux Systems. Has anyone faced this with windows? Also, is there any solution for this.
Thanks,
Naman

Hi Naman,
Oracle has provided set of patches to avoid memory leaks.
1) For memory leak with OPMN, apply the following patches:
Patch:12920592: OPMN HAS MEMORY LEAK
Patch:12989751: OPMN MEMORY STILL GAINS AFTER APPLYING PATCH#12920592
2) For the Presentation Server (sawserver) issue, apply the patch:
Patch:13102881: DATALAYOUT METADATA IMPLEMENTATION HEAP INTENSIVE

Memory leak in Skype 7.4.0.102 on Win 7 x64

Ever since upgrading to the latest version of Skype on my Win 7 x64 box, I've had nothing but issues with Skype having a huge memory leak. It'll start out running fine when I boot up, hovering around 141K of memory usage (even though I think that's still higher than it should be), but after leaving it open for a while, it will just continue to creep up. Yesterday I had to kill the Skype.exe*32 process from Task Manager because it was up to 1.2 GB of memory usage.
Previously it had not gotten that high, but I have seen it as high as almost half a gig. I've tried all the usual stuff, removing and reinstalling, making sure I'm running the latest version, etc. The memory leak is still there. Has anyone experienced this issue with 7.4.0.102? If so, has anyone found any resolution?

JSF: partial page rendering is causing memory leak leading to outofmemory

JDeveloper 10.1.3.2.0
JDK: 1.6.0_06
Operating System: Windows XP.
I test my application for memory leaks. For that purpose, I use jconsole to monitor java heap space. I have an edit page that has two dependent list components. One displays all countries and the other displays cities of the selected country.
I noticed java heap space keeps growing as I change country from country list.
I run garbage collection and memory usage does not go down. If I keep changing the province for 5 minutes, then I hit a java heap space outofmemory exception.
To narrow down the problem, I removed the second city component and the problem still exists.
To narrow it down further, I removed autosubmit attribute from the country component and then memory usage stopped increasing as I change country.
country/city partial page rendering is just an example. I am able to reproduce the same problem on every page where i use partial page rendering. My conclusion is PPR is causing memory leak or at least the autosubmit attribute.
This is really bad. Anyone out there experienced same issue. Any help/advice is highly appreciated !!
Thanks

Samsam,
I haven't seen this problem myself, no.
To clarify - are you seeing this behaviour when running your app in JDeveloper, or when running in an application server? If in JDeveloper, a copuple of suggestions:
* (may not matter, but...) It's not supported to run JDev 10g with JDK 6
* have you tried the [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/masterj2ee/j2ee_wk11.html]memory profiler
Best,

Memory Leak with Tomcat version update 3.2 to 6.0

Hi, I've been trying to update tomcat from 3.2 to 6.0. My issue is that I have a memory leak(s?) that make the web application unusable. Currently in my setup I am using these components:
Tomcat 6.0, sun JDK 1.6.0_01, mssql 2005, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.2, xalan 2.7.0, log4j 1.0.4 (should be only out of date component)
It is a fairly large application that uses xslt with xalan and java servlets to display web pages. There was no issue with memory leaks before the update from tomcat 3.2, sun jdk 1.4.2 and old xalan and jdbc (for mssql 2000) components.
My question for the community is, where should I be looking for my memory leak. Are there known issues with my setup?
thanks for your help,
Matt

Just in case someone goes down the same road as me, my problem was actually the one listed on the page below. My threads are not being released after a StandardContext reload. Which I'm not sure if this leak applies to tomcat version <4 or not.
