Is there a memory leak in my DataFlowEngine?

During message processing, it is possible for execution groups to continue to

grow in memory usage. This could be due to a number of factors and does
not necessarily indicate that there is a memory leak. The following link
provides information on the Execution group memory growing behavior and
the reasons. Difference between MRM and DFDL

Why is my DataFlowEngine memory usage not reducing on the Data Format Description Language MRM is the

DataFlowEngine acquires memory while processing messages through its

message flows. The amount of memory required to process messages
depends on the size of the messages. After some processing, the
DataFlowEngine acquires enough memory that it can internally re-use the
memory for all the subsequent messages that are processed through its
message flows. The UNIX process holds on to the memory anticipating that
it could be required for subsequent processing of messages and to avoid
performance impact due to releasing and reacquiring memory. Interview Questions

Is there a memory leak in my DataFlowEngine?

How can I monitor JVM memory usage of a DataFlowEngine During message processing, it is possible for
process? execution groups to continue to grow ...

JVM memory usage by an execution group can be monitored using resource

statistics. The following Information center page gives more information on
this.

Use MBX explorer and/or WebUI to enable and view resource statistics
- Register subscriptions and use command line parameters to monitor the
resource statistics

UNIX:

If you want to continuously monitor the memory usage, then the above
command may have to be incorporated into a simple shell script.

I see an abend with an out of memory error. What could be Transforming a Message using ESQL
causing this failure?
IBM Integration Bus version 10 presents various
techniques to change a message. This scenario
An out of memory error in an abend file indicates the process has terminated is pays attention on message transformation ...
as it could not acquire more memory to continue processing. The memory
required for processing could be native memory or java heap memory.
Investigation would be required to identify why the process was unable to
acquire more memory. If using java compute nodes, it is a good practice to
tune JVM Heap size for the environment. Refer to the questions below to
gain better understanding of this subject to be able to carry out the
investigation.

There are two types of commands that are used

Separating the message flows that are deployed to an Execution group into broker. They are: mqsibrowse mqsirepo...
multiple Execution Groups would allow you to recreate the problem with
isolated sets of message flows deployed to their own execution groups and
thus allow you to identify the specific message flows that may be contributing
towards memory growth for that execution group.
To identify a potential memory leak, the same input message should be
repeatedly sent into the message flow. When a message flow processes the
same input message over and over again, then this should drive the same
message flow paths each time. When this happens then we would expect the
Data Flow Engine process to plateau very quickly unless the flow had

Engine running out of JVM Heap size or total process memory?

- When a Data Flow Engine reaches the JVM heap limitations, it typically
generates a java core, heap dump along with a java out of memory exception
in the EG stderr/stdout files.
When the Data Flow Engine runs out of total memory, it may cause the Data
Flow Engine to go down or the system to become un-responsive.
