CLIENT.NOMEMORY

Advisory

Subject Name Syntax

_RV.ERROR.SYSTEM.CLIENT.NOMEMORY

Purpose

A program receives this advisory when it cannot allocate sufficient process storage.

Remarks

Only the specific client receives this advisory.

When a program cannot allocate storage within a Rendezvous API call, the call returns the status code TIBRV_NO_MEMORY. In asynchronous situations, the program presents this advisory instead.

This advisory always indicates an error. Either data is lost, or the client program cannot continue.

Diagnosis

NOMEMORY advisories can indicate several asynchronous situations in which the program cannot allocate storage; for example:

•

The client program cannot allocate memory to receive an inbound messages from the Rendezvous daemon.

After presenting this advisory, the client program disconnects its transport from the daemon, discarding all queued data. The client then attempts to reconnect to the daemon.

•

The client program cannot allocate memory to create the timer it needs to reconnect to the daemon.

After presenting this advisory, the client program sleeps, and attempts to reconnect later.

In either of these situations, the system administrator or programmer must determine the reason that the program exhausted its process storage, and remedy the problem at its source.
