Last year I questioned WebSphere's propensity to eat memory and/or CPU over 
time (thank you to Marcy and Rob for help).  Now that we have 20 servers 
running Medicare insurance claims, it is no longer a "hypothetical" scenario.  
Each server runs several WAS instances, hence several Java processes battle for 
top spot.  The problem is that over time - a few days, one java instance will 
win out and take the top spot and run very high cpu.  When this process is 
killed the server returns to normal.

Apparently this is not an uncommon problem.  Has IBM addressed or does anyone 
have any new information they can share?

We are running zvm 5.6, SUSE 10.3, and monitoring with Velocity.



Thank you,
