Fixing a memory leak in IBM Tivoli Monitoring version 6.2.2

The problem: When you are using IBM Tivoli Monitoring version 6.2.2, you might encounter a memory leak in the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. When this occurs, the kdsmain working set memory can grow large and not be released.

This memory leak might occur during any of the following activities:
  • Situations are repetitively started and stopped.
  • The Hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server loses connection with the Remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.
  • Workspaces are continually refreshed.
  • Requests are broadcast to the agent.

The solution: Obtain and apply the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Provisional module 6.2.2.0-TIV-ITM-IZ63115. This provisional fix is provided as a temporary solution until an official maintenance release is made available.
