APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Objects that were needed temporarily during XMLAccess requests
  remain in memory. The number of objects depends on the
  XMLAccess
  request output (An XMLAccess export leads to more objects than
  the result message of an XMLAccess import). The leak is not
  necessarily growing steadily since the temporary objects
  remaining are related to the last XMLAccess request of each
  thread.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Objects that were needed temporarily during XMLAccess
  requests remain in memory. The number of objects depends on the
  XMLAccess request output (An XMLAccess export leads to more
  objects than the result message of an XMLAccess import). The
  leak is not necessarily growing steadily since the temporary
  objects remaining are related to the last XMLAccess request of
  each thread.
  

Problem conclusion

• References to objects needed temporarily are maintained
  during XMLAccess execution only and released afterwards.
