APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
A problem in the handling of stale journal deletes has been found, which results in the gateway being unable to translate source alert Serial numbers into target alert Serial numbers, and hence unable to find target journal entries for removal. Thus, the cache grows without bound until memory is exhausted. The course of events shows the problem: - Alert (with journals) is deleted. - Gateway processes that delete, removing the alert from the source and destination caches. - clean_journals_table automation runs, deleting stale journal entries. - Gateway processes the deleted journal entries, but can only get references to the source cache entries, as getting the destination cache entry requires dereferencing via the corresponding status entry (to map the Serial value) which has already been removed, so we never pick up the destination cache entry to remove it.
