You can still use SeeFusion trial (for up to 2 hours) and FusionReactor has a trial as well. When you had or doing the monitor running. What did you see? You have a gig for your heap size. Are you filling that up several times a day? Basically you need to find the problem and fix it CF coding first. Playing around with the JVM could simply make your situation worse.

One of the things Im checking is the GC , Does anyone know how to pragmatically invoke GC? I know you can manually click GC if you have Server Monitor available in CfAdmin (which I did until the 30 days was up and the Standard Edition limitations kicked in). I know also through Server Monitor you can create alerts that can be based on memory stats. and that this alert can invoke GC. Can this alert be created/managed pragmatically? Based on the JVM Arguments, CF/Jrun will do GC regardless of such alert existing or not - correct? The server has a single 2.40Ghz Xeon3220 proc and 2 gigs of ram Its running Microsoft Window Server 2003/Web Ed. SP2 / IIS / CF8 Standard (8,0,0,176276). Its only use is as a CF8 application server. Java Version is 1.6.0_01. The JVM Arguments are: java.args=-server -Xms1000m -Xmx1000m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:+UseParallelGC -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../ -Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/../lib -Dcoldfusion.classPath={application.home}/../lib/updates ,{application.home}/../lib,{application.home}/../gateway/lib/,{application.h ome}/../wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex/jars,{application.home}/../wwwroot/WEB-INF/cffo rm/jars,c:\\coldfusion8\\cfx\\java\\CFX_PDF.jar Never had to deal with the JVM... so I'll be reading up on it this weekend, but does anyone see any obvious problems with the JVM Arguments? ------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Sponsor - Figleaf Software <http://www.figleaf.com> To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by FusionLink <http://www.fusionlink.com> ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Sponsor - Figleaf Software <http://www.figleaf.com> To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by FusionLink <http://www.fusionlink.com> ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Sponsor FigLeaf Software - http://www.figleaf.com To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
