Hi All. At UNISA uir.unisa.ac.za, we have upgraded from DSpace version 1.4.2 to version 1.6.2. All looked well when we tested the system, but we have been picking up a few issues since we have gone live.
The first issue was that there was not enough perm-gen space for the JVM. I rectified that by adding -Xmx4096M -Xms2048M -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX: +CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:MaxPermSize=512M to my startup script and using lambda probe, monitored the machine for 16 days in which there were no problems. Then we started getting java.util.NoSuchElementException: Timeout waiting for idle object Research showed that this was due to insufficient database connections. I increased the db.maxconnections = 100 from the default 30 in dspace.cfg. I used 100 as postgres default is also 100. I also increased shared_buffers = 50000 and effective_cache_size = 100000 in postgresql.conf as well as increasing postgres' maximum connections to 200. The system seems to run pretty stable for a day, but then starts giving these errors again. This specific error is not logged in catalina.out, but I get a lot of Feb 16, 2011 9:42:44 AM org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader clearThreadLocalMap SEVERE: The web application [] created a ThreadLocal with key of type [java.lang.ThreadLocal] (value [java.lang.ThreadLocal@7d5f26a2]) and a value of type [org.apache.cocoon.environment.internal.EnvironmentStack] (value [[]]) but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. This is very likely to create a memory leak. These are continuously being logged. So my question is: Are there any best practises for tuning postgres for DSpace, and how can I get rid of the above error message? Many thanks.
