IT45589: MEMORY LEAK CAN OCCUR DUE TO DEBUG DATA OBJECTS GETTING CREATED EVEN WHEN THE DEBUG PORT IS DISABLED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• App Connect Enterprise users might observe from the eyecatchers
  extracted from core dumps that there are debug data objects
  getting created even when the debug port is disabled. This
  behaviour might contribute to possible memory leaks.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM App Connect Enterprise v11.0 and  v12.0.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When there is a memory leak noted, the eyecatchers might show
  the growth of the following debug data objects even when the
  debug port is disabled :
  BIPDHRD
  BIPDHVU
  
  
   Ideally, creation of debug data objects should be confined to
  scenarios when the debug port/debugger is enabled.
  

Problem conclusion

• The product has been modified such that the debug data objects
  are created only when the debug port is enabled.
