Error description
A long-running simulation that has many instances and tokens waiting on a join gateway might fail with an java.lang.OutOfMemory error. PRODUCTS AFFECTED: IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
Local fix
Problem summary
IBM Process Designer fails with a java.lang.OutOfMemory error when you run a simulation that has many tokens waiting on a join gateway. A heap dump analysis shows com/lombardisoftware/simulation/bpd/impl/worker/JoinImpl$1 as a memory-leak suspect. A new listener object was being created for each waiting token, which quickly exhausts the available heap space in certain scenarios.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.2 that avoids creating a new listener object for each waiting token, thereby preventing the exhaustion of heap space and subsequent java.lang.OutOfMemory error. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR51826: 1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack level, and your platform, and then click Continue. 2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR51826, and click Continue. When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download the readme file for each fix.
