Zipping itself can be a little memory intensive if all those files are being loaded into memory. Even if there is no "memory leak" par se, it is entirely possible you are under-powering the server RAM-wise.
If you only have 1 Gig on the entire server, that's really not much. What else runs on this server besides CF? SQL Server? FTP? What are your JVM args for the maximum heap size? With a Gig of system memory, Windows could easily take 1/4 of that, and if you have left CF at the default JVM settings, it is probably only getting 512 megs. Depending on how often this scheduled task runs (and about 3 millions other factors), it may just be a problem of garbage collection not running often enough. I would recommend grabbing SeeFusion, setting up some database logging of memory usage (counters) and running some load tests with a single task. How much does memory increase when it runs. Does it go back down by itself? After how long? Does memory go back down if you run garbage collection manually? That should be a starting point. ~Brad -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: What is the most like cause lf "Java Heap Space" error?
