Memory erros with Cognos Transformer

[canhe]

Hello,

I have Cognos Transformer on Sun Solaris system and it keeps throwing and "Out of Memory" error. I have over 2gb free in memory and plenty of disk space. I have set the memory in Cognos Transformer to 65 mb but when a do a top command (see below) as it is running and it shows it is just using 12 mb. I have set a memory flush percentage to 5% which writes to disk when the memory is full in transformer but it still throws the memory error. I have no disk or memory restrictions on the username.

"27543 cognosp 4 0 4 22M 12M sleep 0:02 0.29% rsserver"


Anyone any ideas on a reason for this or possible avenues to probe will be greatly appreciated.

Look at the man page for [tt]ulimit[/tt]. This is usually a shell builtin. It can change the limits on heap, stack, and virtual memory for a process.

In the Korn shell, type...

    ulimit -a

...to see what the current limits are set to for your process.

Hope this helps.

Hi SamBones,

Thanks for reply. However all are set to unlimited already.

Do you know if it's using shared memory at all? If so, these can be tuned in [tt]/etc/system[/tt].

Also, have you checked [tt]/var/adm/messages[/tt] for any error messages from Transformer? Check there and see if it gives more information when it dies.

Hope this helps.

Hi SamBones,

Thanks for the reply. I have two database on the solaris machine, the model works fina on one and throws the error on the other. I am using shared memory. Any further ideas let me know. Thanks
