OOM at end of process

wheli

Hello,

I have a process that I am running and at the very end, it generates an outOfMemory error. The stack trace doesn't have any of my own classes in it. It appears that it has something to do with the event logger, but I am not sure what my options are.

Currently we have the following java opts set for memory:
"-Xmx1g -Xms1g -XX:MaxPermSize=128M"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

I would need more information about the process instance you are running.
Do you have a lot of variables, or any other specifics that could cause this?

Best regards,

wheli

We do have a lot of variables, but at the end of the last step, I've tried removing them:

<code>
@Override
    public void execute(DelegateExecution delegateExecution) throws Exception {
        ……
        delegateExecution.removeVariables();
        delegateExecution.removeVariablesLocal();
    }
</code>

This doesn't really seem to make any difference though.

trademak

Do you have a specific variable which is very large?

Best regards,

wheli

I did, I was actually getting similar "out of memory" exceptions when doing things like this:

Map<String, Object> vars = delegateExecution.getVariables();
Map<String, Object> localVars = delegateExecution.getVariablesLocal();
logger.log(Level.FINEST, "Variables: {0}, Local Variables: {1}", new Object[]{vars, localVars});

The OOM would generate on the third line of that code. I removed the logging and the problem seemed to resolve itself. Even if I am working with large variables, should doing the .removeVariables and .removeVariablesLocal remove those?

It would appear to me that this is related to logging. Is there something I can do to disable that to get past this issue?

jbarrez

Where is this line of code? In the Explorer code? Or is this something in your own code?

wheli

The stack trace would imply that the issue lies within the activiti code:
org.activiti.engine.impl.event.logger.handler.VariableEventHandler.createData(VariableEventHandler.java:133)

The code I was referencing above:

Map vars = delegateExecution.getVariables();
Map localVars = delegateExecution.getVariablesLocal();
logger.log(Level.FINEST, "Variables: {0}, Local Variables: {1}", new Object[]{vars, localVars});

Is part of my own code, that has been removed.

It would appear as though the database logging is enabled, even though we are not setting that anywhere, as far as I can tell. (http://www.activiti.org/userguide/ - Event logging (Experimental))

wheli

It turns out we did have the database logging enabled in a different file that I was unaware of. I disabled this and things are working again. Thanks
