Title: Memory Leak
Post by: SynexusStuart on 15 Nov 2012 08:27:59 AM
Hi All, has anyone experienced a memory leak on a Cognos 10 BI Application server?

Any ideas on how to assess where the problem is?

We experienced this as well and worked for quite a while with Cognos support to resolve it. It is a known issue and it seems to be more than one cause IIRC. In any case, I ended up writing a script to restart the servers on a schedule and that alleviated the issue. Cognos support wasn't able to provide any further input on it last year so we are just living with the workaround until we upgrade to the latest release.

Thanks Danno.

We have messed around with the memory settings in Cognos Config xml files and it seems more stable but only been running like that a week or so. fingers crossed!
