Error description

  • There is a memory leak in the
    com.ibm.wbimonitor.router.scalable.distribution.MMRoutingClassLo
    ader plugin. This memory leak manifests itself on a server
    (WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Process Server, or
    Business Process Manager) hosting CEI, where this plugin is
    installed for event routing to IBM Business Monitor.  It can
    result in system crashes due to JVM heap memory exhaustion.

    ****************************************************************
    Java class loaders are created and cached by the plugin on a
    per monitor model, per thread basis, causing an excessive
    amount of heap memory to be used.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Changing the caching algorithm to be per monitor model, per
    JVM (using a "weak hash map" keyed on a specific instance of a
    common key) significantly reduces heap memory usage.
    
    An interim fix for IBM Business Monitor Version 7.5.1.0 has
    been published to Fix Central.  Please refer to the separate
    file that is automatically downloaded with the interim fix
