Re: oninit process consumes memory

Posted By: Martin Fuerderer
Date: Wednesday, 25 February 2004, at 2:23 p.m.

In Response To: oninit process consumes memory (Kerhalkar, Rohit)

Hi,

reasons for this behaviour can be manifold, as memory is
used for many different purposes in the engine ...

What you should do is to provide some more info for analysis.
To aid analysis you can execute the following statements which
will retrieve much more detailed info about memory usage by the
engine:

onstat -g seg
onstat -g mem
onstat -g mgm
onstat -g ufr <pool name> # where pool name can be retrieved from above
"onstat -g mem"

You can also run above commands periodically to (hopefully) better show,
in which area the memory usage increases ...

For ideas on further commands please see the usage message of onstat
(e.g. do "onstat --").

TIA,
Martin

oninit process consumes memory [2563]






We are using Informix Dynamic Server 9.4 on HPUX11i. We have observed =
that the memory consumed by oninit process steadily increases over a =
period of time. We find that there is no apparent memory leakage in our =
application that processes data in the database. Even if we shutdown all =
the application processes, the oninit process does not release the =
memory. Executing 'onmode -F' also does not help.
=20
Most of our applications are written in ESQL/C and Java1.4 language. The =
Java uses JDBC 2.0 connection whereas ESQL/C uses shared memory to =
connect to database.
=20
The HPUX11i is a 3CPU rp5470 HP-UX box with 3 GB RAM with 10 GB Swap =
Space.
=20
Can anybody give any hint as why the oninit memory is increasing =
foreever and how to force it to release it.
=20
Following is the output of top command on HP-UX with oninit process =
highlighted.
