Error description
Headline: Memory leak observed in Rhapsody 8.0 Abstract: Attempts to use Rhapsody continuously for some hours results in Performance Issue Error_description: Rhapsody slows down considerably after using for a few hours on Windows XP. The reason is analysed to the fact that it keeps occupying more and more memory after subsequent actions....Finally it reaches a stage when even simple actions such as performing an 'Add to Model' or moving the cursor takes 2 minutes. Steps to Reproduce: Try1: I opened C++ model ?HomeAlarmWithPorts?. Memory used by Rhapsody = 17452 Kb. I open then OMD named: ?home alarm overview?. Memory used by Rhapsody = 27172 Kb. I close this OMD. Memory used by Rhapsody = 27160 Kb. I open again the same OMD (home alarm overview). Memory used by Rhapsody = 27204 Kb. I close again this OMD. Memory used by Rhapsody = 27164 Kb. I open again OMD named : home alarm overview. Memory used by Rhapsody = 27392 Kb. I close again this OMD. Memory used by Rhapsody = 27380 Kb. Try2: Tried to reproduce with a simple sample model and the results are more bad. Memory used shows as high as 47,000Kb while Rhapsody is launched..Opening a model shoots to 99,300 Kb. Closing the model brings it down to only 99,100Kb. Next time we open a model, it increases from 99,100 to 1,03,000 and so on... The cycle keeps increasing. This is potentially a big problem if huge models are opened. Workaround: High risk for Rhapsody to crash. Decreases work efficiency.
