Re: Malloc failed on server
Hi John, Not aware of any location for the last 100 filters or the max filter count other than the good old filter log. As far as some general information about how high you are reaching - again the log file is the only source I know. If you log to a form you may be able to report on it. A good log file analyzer is probably handy too. I suppose the big issue is that the filter logs can get very big very fast and to get a decent period of time in a busy system you are going to get an unmanageable file. The advantage of the log file though is that it will tell you quite a bit about why you have so many filters in the transaction. Recent versions of the log have the filter sequence number clearly displayed for reference. I have seen OOB workflow maybe associated with SLM events, from memory, loop forever. I also believe there are some tools (DMT perhaps) that may set the filter limit extremely high, maybe because it wants to loop a lot within a single transaction. The two issues together are a fatal combination and after the server crashes it doesn't seem to recover properly, often throwing malloc errors periodically and not allowing big transactions to finish. A clean restart fixes the issue, that is until the loop happens again. The above I've seen on ARS 7.5 patch 7 or thereabouts running ITSM 7.6. Rod Always a good idea to keep the filter limits low enough that they are breached before the server crashes.

Re: Malloc failed on server
Hi, Check to make sure that the server has a reasonable value for the maximum number of filters in an operation (in AR System Admin-Advanced tab). No more than about 500,000 is preferred. Sometimes the server can get into an endless loop and you want the maximum filters error thrown before the server itself crashes. The maximum filter stack should also be reasonable.

Re: Malloc failed on server
Hi LJ, Yes, you are correct LJ. A malloc error is a symptom, not a cause and there are a lot of route causes for it. The info I gave referred to one route cause that may be fairly common. Any time you see them in the arerror.log or similar they are cause for concern as the server may appear to keep on working, but just be generating rollback after rollback on the biggest and most expensive transactions. As you say with 32bit servers there may not be a lot of memory around to play with so tuning memory use and the presence of any memory leaks are significant. The server log files can tell you a lot.

Re: Malloc failed on server
Malloc literally means Memory Allocation. Any time you get a Malloc error, it means that your Application server attempted to do something that required more memory than your OS had/was able to allocate. We used to receive this error on a regular basis on our 32 Bit machines when our Remedy tried to allocate more than 2GB of RAM to the ARServer process. To figure this out you need to likely turn on more than Thread logging, and see if you can capture some details about what your workflow is doing at the time of the malloc error, and see if you can re-architect something to prevent it from trying to do it 'all at once'...whatever it is.

Re: Malloc failed on server
The error means Memory Allocation. I had this same exact issue with version 7.0 patch 4. The problem (for me at that time) was a memory leak. The issue was fixed when I opened a ticket with BMC and went to patch 5 that they provided me. That was me, for you the issue seems to be with a webservice. Was that newly implemented? If you stop it, does it go away? Look at other recent changes and see if backing them out stops the issue.

Re: ARERR 300 Malloc failed on server
Ken, I would agree that 1.2 on a 64Bit OS is a bit hard to explain the malloc error. How did the overall system resources look at the time? I have found at times that the memory size is a bit hard to determine. I use a SysInternals tool 'Process Explorer' to look at things. One thing that I have found is that the memory on my server (32 Bit) tends to crap out when the 'Virtual Size' hits 2 GB, not necessarily when the 'Private Bytes' hits 2 GB...and I have sometimes seen a great disparity between the two values. I additionally try to look at the 'Max Memory Usage' column (that you can add) to see if at any point it actually spiked higher. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Cecil, Ken Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 3:04 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: ARERR 300 Malloc failed on server Simon, The servers are Windows Server 2003 Enterprise 64 bit with 10 GB RAM.

Re: ARERR 300 Malloc failed on server
I once forgot to give Public access rights (as in anyone can write to it) to a field on a backend form that I had written and the error only manifested itself as a malloc error. Bothersome is a good word for not receiving any sort of error message related to access rights, but when the rights were granted... the malloc error vanished. Took a while to find that one. I suspect the loop of running a table to perform the write was involved in the memory usage. Things just piled up until it was malloc time. Sadly everyone who had tested the app was using an Admin ID for some reason.

Re: ARERR 300 Malloc failed on server
Hi, This happens because, there was a request to allocate memory by the server and the OS could not fulfill that request. In response to this, the AR System server shuts itself down and restarts. In general, except for users who are currently interacting with that server with a command, the restart would not even be noticed. Now, why is the server running out of memory? How much memory does the machine have? Could the system just be large enough that after everything is cached and user loads come in and there are large queries that need large spaces. Could it be a lack of swap space - so that there was no space on disc to write out the swap area of memory. Possible solution for this issue could be: Add /3gb parameter in a boot.ini file. The 32-bit versions of the Windows operating system can manage a maximum of 4GB of addressable memory. The 4GB is divided into 2GB for user applications and 2GB for kernel processes. This means that any given application is restricted to 2GB of memory. Adding /3GB switch which causes the operating system to divide the available 4GB of memory into 3GB for user applications and 1GB for kernel processes. Many translations that previously failed due to memory limitations will now run successfully when the /3GB switch is used. HTH -- Regards, Sunil Vyom Labs Pvt. Ltd.

Re: ARERR 300 Malloc failed on server
The Sysinternals tools are awesome! This is the first time I've worked with Windows servers and just a few days ago went looking for Windows equivalents to familiar unix tools. Process Explorer, Process Monitor, TCPView, and Autoruns are a few of them that I've explored so far. Process Monitor (similar to truss) just helped me yesterday in figuring out that I hadn't updated my PATH the way I should have. The email engine service wasn't starting, and there wasn't any indication why. None of the logs that were supposed to have been created were there.

I double checked and I do not have a max attach size configured.

Ken, Malloc errors are 'Memory Allocation' errors, which means that some piece of the system is asking the OS for memory, and is getting an OS level response that the memory is not available.

Re: ARERR 300 Malloc failed on server
Ken, It sounds like your arserver was bouncing up against a upper memory limit. This can happen sometimes with memory leaks that don't properly release memory once used. A restart of the service brings the system back down to initial minimums of startup.

Re: ARERR 300 Malloc failed on server
HI David, Can you give us some more detail on what it means when access rights to a newly-created field are not properly defined? It is a bit bothersome to think 1) a lack of permissions can cause memory issues 2) that it is easy to not properly define a field which would cause memory issues.

Simon, The servers are Windows Server 2003 Enterprise 64 bit with 10 GB RAM. David, New changes transported to production over since the beginning of September. LJ, That is what I thought. When everything hit the fan yesterday the arserver.exe process was only using ~1.2 GB of RAM. It is a 64 bit OS so I think that seems pretty low to cause an out of memory issue?

Re: ARERR 300 Malloc failed on server
AR 7.5 on Windows only has 32-bit binaries available. Even though the OS is 64-bit with 10gb arserver.exe will never take much more memory than you are seeing it use. It could be running out of room within its 32-bit realm. Although I wouldn't think a 4mb attachment should not be enough to push it over the edge.

Ken, If you were to make a change in Dev studio like add a field or modify a filter, do you see this error pop up from a user perspective as well? When you do make a change, the memory usage of the arserver process should go up significantly. I would be curious to know if you start seeing the malloc errors when this happens.

Start with the release notes for each patch after the patch you are running. See if something shows a resemblance to your problem. Look for problems from the reported client type and arserverd. Client: User kishah from *Remedy Administrator* (protocol 13) at IP Next find out what the user was doing that is referenced in the stack trace: Client: User *kishah* from *Remedy Administrator* (protocol 13) at IP If you do it again does the server crash? If so headed down the right track. If you come up empty there, pull the api, filter, and sql logs up to the point that the crash occurs. Once you have those, you need to see what was going on with the rpcid/queue referenced in the stack trace. RPC Id: *25964* RPC Call: 82 (GMAL) RPC Queue: *390600* Client: User kishah from Remedy Administrator (protocol 13) at IP A core dump can be helpful as well if the above does not lead to useful information. I'm just guessing here, but I would bet that not buffering the log entries may lead to more useful logs. My thinking is that buffered log entries may get written to disk if the server crashes. Where do you see the malloc error? Mid-tier logs, web browser, somewhere else? If on the mid-tier, I would watch the memory usage of your java processes. If on the Remedy server, I would watch the memory usage of the Remedy related processes.

Re: ARERR 300 - Malloc failed on server.
Thank you, everyone who responded. We have only rebooted which seems to have addressed this issue, at least for now. We will most likely be adding the /3GB parameter in the boot.ini file (as suggested by BMC below) and monitor logs We have seen such issues in the past, Malloc errors are the cause of higher memory growth. Per Microsoft suggestion we recommend adding /3gb parameter in a boot.ini file. The 32-bit versions of the Windows operating system can manage a maximum of 4GB of addressable memory. The 4GB is divided into 2GB for user applications and 2GB for kernel processes. This means that any given application is restricted to 2GB of memory. Adding /3GB switch which causes the operating system to divide the available 4GB of memory into 3GB for user applications and 1GB for kernel processes. Many translations that previously failed due to memory limitations will now run successfully when the /3GB switch is used.

Re: ARERR 300 - Malloc failed on server.
Unfortunately, this error doesn’t have a specific behavior and root cause I recommend to you is to monitor if the server is not running out of memory and create dedicated queues for any process that pushes data to your ARS, also check if the transaction log of the DB is not having problems Reconfigure your log level to “detailed” and turn on the api and sql log, also as preventing try to increase the number of threads (List) of the server.

If I try to manually copy and paste multiple fields to the form via the admin tool...I get an Unable to save form box. If I click OK...and resave...I will get the Unable to Save box for each new field being added...then it will save normally. I have never encountered this before...anybody else seen this?? Any ideas??

How much memory is available on the server; things tend to act weird when malloc's start to fail.

Re: ARERR 300- Malloc failed on server
If you hit 4020M, you hit the limit of memory that a 32-bit process can allocate. This indicates a serious memory leak in the version/patch of arserverd you are running. There is a known issue with 7.0.1, pre-patch 1, if using older clients (6.3 and earlier, i believe) against a unicode arserver. If this is the case, patch the system to at least patch 1 and this issue should be resolved.

Strange Malloc failed on server error
I have searched this entire list and have not found anyone who speaks about an issue of Malloc failed on server like we are seeing. We are getting a Malloc failed on server error when we try to open a Display-Only form. Here is the twist. The first time we try to open the form it the error appears. If you try to open it again it displays the form where the form is blank (no images or fields are displayed). To further make this strange we can close the User Tool. Clear the cache files (arv and arf) and then reboot the desktop and the Malloc failed on server error goes away for awhile. Anyone ever see this kind of behavior before? I am at a loss as to why it is happening.

Re: Strange Malloc failed on server error
From what I can gather, the malloc error is in the user tool. My guess is that you are using an old version of the client with new arserver features or there is something amiss with the definition of the display only form. If you export the form and attempt to reimport it, does it give you an error?

Re: Strange Malloc failed on server error
Sounds like a memory leak from the client. You probably get it the first time you open the form because that's when it's attempting to pull down the .arf and .arv cache files. Subsequent times it just opens the incomplete cache files, so no error, but you see the blank form. You mention images on the form - make sure the images you use aren't corrupted, or too large. I once used a .bmp file by mistake - the file was ~1Mb - and that caused malloc errors on the clients. Best to use as small an image file as possible - like JPG format. Barring that, your best bet would be to uninstall the client, remove (or rename) the install directory, and reinstall. -Aaron * Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Pruitt Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 1:31 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Strange Malloc failed on server error I have searched this entire list and have not found anyone who speaks about an issue of Malloc failed on server like we are seeing.

Re: Malloc failed on server
** Hi Dave Malloc errors (memory allocation) on a 5.1.1 server can be caused by several things. Have you tried changing the date range for your query to see whether it is caused by one particular record, always the 150001 record no matter what the record set, or something else? Here are a couple of things I have seen in the past that can cause this error: Attachment fields - an attachment field has been added to a form at some stage in its history, and some of the data pre-dates the new field. The old records do not therefore have corresponding entries in the B tables. In this case, export the data in 2 sets with the old data excluding the attachment field.

Re: Malloc failed on server
** David, Thats a useful bunch of things to check through, have to admit that I'm a bit miffed that I didn't think of checking different date ranges first. Just trying it, and have had my real time virus alert pop up saying that one of the files was compromised, and has been removed. That in isolation isn't really an issue, but it I'm wondering how the file is stored on the server - its running SQL server, is there something like a binary/large object field type that stores attachments?

Re: Malloc failed on server
** Um, interesting. I've looked at the ARX files (the last ticket listed, the ones before and after), and none of them have any attachments, long diary fields, or any obviously dubious fields - either strange characters, currency fields, etc. Its been suggested that we upgrade our server from 5.1.1 to patch 1389 that'll delay our migration somewhat. Thats life I guess! Regards Dave On 12/05/06, David Sanders [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ** Hi Dave Malloc errors (memory allocation) on a 5.1.1 server can be caused by several things.

Re: Malloc failed on server
I've also had an issue in the past with the diary field of one specific record. I could not even open the diary field in the user tool. Finally decided to set this field to NULL using SQL (tested it of course first on other environment) and this resolved the issue. Of course this is not a great solution but in this case it worked fine for me. Regards, Michiel On 5/12/06, Dave Barber [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ** Um, interesting.
