Hi All,
I have an application that periodically gets OutOfMemoryErrors when under heavy volume. The application has a max heap setting of 512mb but will experience OutOfMemoryErrors when the free memory/allocated memory is 256mb. Most times the application will then be granted more memory, but sometimes it just hangs.
Is anyone familiar with WebSphere's process for allocating memory to application instances? If the max heap size is set to 512mb, is that reserved for the application? I have also heard people mention "paging" when discussing garbage collection and memory, how does this process work? Thanks for any help....
