APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • For every connection happening from XMS, a connection
    information object was created with Client Channel Definition
    details. This maintains a pointer to a memory location where the
    information about channels are maintained. This memory should
    get released after a successful connection but was not getting
    released. This issue will be more visible only when multiple
    XMS connections are created and closed.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    WebSphere MQ XMS .NET applications using managed mode to
    connect to a queue manager and repeatedly making connections.
    
    Platforms affected:
    Windows
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM SUMMARY:
    Whenever a connection is made to a queue manager, native memory
    is allocated to hold the connection information.  This was not
    getting cleaned after each connection.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This problem was causing a memory leak in .NET applications and
    was visible in the native heap of the process. This has been
    resolved by ensuring that native memory allocated for each
    connection is freed after connecting to the queue manager.
