Error description
After the IBM Business Process Server (BPM) server has been running for some time, operations might start to fail. The SystemOut.log file shows OutOfMemoryError stack traces. Analyzing the heap dumps created by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), you see numerous objects of class com.lombardisoftware.instrumentation.core.InstrumentationRecord. About 17gb of a 20gb heap are used by Instrumentation records, 17,579,088,760 (85.58%) [32] 9 class com/lombardisoftware/instrumentation/jmx/InstrumentationManager 0x308e99718 |- 17,579,088,576 (85.58%) [32] 52 class com/lombardisoftware/instrumentation/core/InstrumentationManager 0x308e932a0
Local fix
Problem summary
The server captures instrumentation records during runtime to provide statistics, such as about the cache utilization, in the Process Admin Console. The threads that perform process and task operations create these records, which are processed to prepare the statistics. In certain load scenarios, more records might be created than can be processed, leading to out-of-memory errors.
Problem conclusion
A fix will be included in the IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) V8.5.7 2016.09 cumulative fix.
