APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Large number of TickRange instances under one
    GuaranteedTargetStream instance occupies a major portion of
    JVM heapspace observed under heapdump. High CPU also may be
    observed because of this.

    ****************************************************************
    When using Publish Subscribe in Service Integration Bus in a
    multi Messaging Engine scenario, Heapdump shows large number
    of TickRange instances under GuaranteedTargetStream which may
    lead to unnecessary consumption of memory and considerable CPU
    cycles. One possiblility of having large number of TickRange
    instances is when there are a lot of silence messages which
    are consecutive are not getting consolidated. So it is not
    necessary to have these TickRange instances which belong to
    consecutive silence messages.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Source code has been modified by consolidating the silence
    ticks and sending an acknowledgement for those ticks so that
    all "TickRange" instances will be deleted.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 7.0.0.39, 8.0.0.11 and 8.5.5.6.
