Title: RE: request crashing user tool - malloc failed

**

We had similar problem some years ago when importing arx files, crasch related to attachments. The workaround was to import without attachments, and add thoses later separate with the use of 'Update record'. Never got any further explaination, not a problem anymore as we now can migrate with data in the forms.

Nyall and Raido:

I'm willing to state that the affected action has a very large diary or attachment associated with it.  If you attempt to export the record from your database, Oracle can handle the data collection, but Remedy cannot.  Thus, you see a large increase in memory usage and then the crash.  If you care to explore, you can look at the CLOB storage for that record and find the record is very large.  Don't know how this happens as the limit for a diary field under Oracle is 1MB of text.

If you need help, I think that I can provide a little bit of it.

Hi,

I have a similar situation with my system:

ARS Server V6.00.01 patch 1497
Solaris 5.9
Oracle 9.2.0.7.0

Each access to the affected ticket causes 100MB of ram to be used by the arserverd process. When a certain amount of ram has been used arserverd crashes and armonitor restarts.

SQL trace logs don't show anything but api logging does show an error. In many cases it is only the values of the Query List that are returned. No values for any other fields are displayed. Initially this was showing up as an RPC error/timeout.

I have a ticket open with Remedy Support for 2 weeks now but nothing that we have tried has traced the problem. We have even exported the production database and re-imported it into a different Oracle server and pointed our development Remedy Server at this copied database. The problem is apparent on both the production and development servers and it is reproducible 100% of the time.

If anyone has any ideas I would be grateful.

Thanks.

Nyall
