Insufficient Memory. Function FuncName() Num bytes

Description 

The process specified in the message header tried to allocate Num bytes of memory when calling function FuncName, but was unable to do so.

Appears In 

SWDIR\logs\sw_error

Severity 

Either:

1 (Critical), if the process is one that runs continuously, such as SPO, WQS or WIS,

or

2 (Severe), if the affected process is one that can be stopped and restarted, such as BG or swbatch.

Action 

Investigate whether the process size is growing or whether the amount of free memory on the iProcess Engine machine is getting low.

Processes can be expected to grow quite a bit initially, as they cache up pieces of information that they require. However, if a process is growing unexpectedly, stop and restart it.

Note 

Background (BG) processes can be stopped and restarted without affecting foreground processes. Restarting SPO, WQS or WIS processes will affect client users.

If a process still continues to grow there may be a memory leak. Gather evidence of the size of the memory growth, then contact TIBCO Support for further assistance.
