Hi Stephen/List, We had a similar (maybe the same) memory issue on 2K8 Standard x64 with 6GB RAM on VMware (albeit with Spectrum 9.1.2). The SpectroSERVER process was using up to 4GB (as it's a 32bit application) then crashing after about 36 hours with the message
ERROR at VNM.cc(754): E:/win32app/SPECTRUM/SS/SpectroSERVER.exe is out of memory. Attempting to recover. Logged a call with CA and the workaround was to use the SpectroSERVER_debug.exe as follows 1. Make a backup copy of the current $SPECROOT/SS/SpectroSERVER.exe file to a temporary location. 2. Copy the $SPECROOT/SS/support/SpectroSERVER_debug.exe to $SPECROOT/SS/ folder, and change the file name to SpectroSERVER.exe 3. Restart the SpectroSERVER as normal. 4. See if you can reproduce the crash. Support also advised to check the DEP setting was enabled for essential Windows Programs and Services only. Since running with the debug executable the SpectroSERVER has remained stable and memory usage has remained fairly consistent. CA also provided the following comments "As we understood that you don't have any of this problem again after running SpectroSERVER_debug.exe, we identified that this problem is related to known bug, i.e. swbug022819. This bug is due to Memory Management problem using our internal MTS manager library. SpectroSERVER_debug.exe is a binary that has fixed this problem and is fully supported and in fact this will be the SpectroSERVER.exe binary in the next coming releases." Hope this solves your issues.

Version 9.01.03.13.22 (RedHat server) fixed this. At CA world I was told these fixes didn't make it into the first release of 9.2 and I should wait until the 9.2.1 release if they were important to me. Our servers are now very stable, so they must have figured it out, at least on RedHat.
