Good Morning List-

I am hoping someone can help me.

 

I have been experiencing some memory issues resulting in incoming
mailboxes not being polled.  It seems that an email with a relatively
small attachment will not get processed fully-sometimes it gets pulled
into the message form and doesn't get deleted so it gets polled over and
over again, sometimes it just doesn't do anything with it but then can't
grab any of the messages following it.  The stderr.log file will begin
to show a line about memory errors:

 

Exception in thread "AG00221990F8E0iaqkSQzuzEAA0WYA"
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

 

We previously increased our memory allocation for the Java process from
256min-512max, then two weeks ago to 512min-1024max.  For the past two
weeks it has been smooth sailing.  Yesterday the memory errors started
up again.  

 

The polling of inbound email is one thing, but then if it goes on too
long we will also get our outgoing mail processing to shut down.  I
restart the engine and go for another few hours.  Then it starts over
again.

We have one outgoing mailbox and 20 incoming.  No templates, just using
filters to create tickets when appropriate.

 

A little history:

We are on ARS 7.1 patch 9, Windows 2003 SP 2

MS SQL 2005

 

We moved from Oracle 9i to MS SQL on March 1, 2010 and that is when the
email problems began.

 

Prior to moving to SQL, the email engine had been running flawlessly
from the time of the last reboot, which was March 2009.  Not one issue.
I can't imagine that there is something about MS SQL that would be
causing this but so far support hasn't been able to tell us anything
other than increase the memory-which we did twice already.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks so much.
