Error description
If you create a Component Process that references itself without branching to prevent infinite loops, the server eventually hangs when accessing the Dashboard. An OutOfMemoryError can be seen in the deployserever.out Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a Component with a Component process 2. Inside the process, create a Step using: Utility Step > Run Component process 3. Reference the process itself, so that it becomes infinitely recursive 4. Create an Application process that calls this recursive process and execute it 5. In the Dashboard you start seeing a huge number of processes. In time, the Dashboard will hang due an OutOfMemoryError.
Local fix
Once the Dashboard hangs, there is no practical way of cancelling the recursive process from the user interface. Stop IBM UrbanCode Deploy and the Agent that was running the recursive process. Execute the following queries on the database: delete from wf_dispatched_task; delete from wf_workflow; Restart IBM UrbanCode Deploy.
