you're going to want to trap the stack and heap parameters with all the tools chuck mentioned you're going to want to note which webapps are being loaded and where (do you have a cluster) track ALL the resource changes you make specifically Database resources which can consume unrestricted heap as well any any file i/o or graphic packages loaded
in the end run heap space not being reclaimed can be caused by a thousand different things we can provide a comprehensive solution if we would be able to submit bids for a statement of work where one of us will come down and take a look thanks, Martin Gainty ______________________________________________ do not modify or alter this transmission.
