SE54282: RDP 8.5.1 EXCESSIVE MEMORY CONSUMPTION WHEN EDITING SOURCE WITH THE LPEX EDITOR

Rational Developer for i 9.0

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• While editing source with the LPEX editor the Java heap may be
  used and not released resulting in excessive memory consumption.
  This can lead to RDP becoming sluggish to respond and eventually
  failing with an out of memory condition.
  

Local fix

• If RDP becomes slow to respond and is consuming a large amount
  of memory then closing and restarting RDP will release this
  memory and prevent a possible crash and loss of changes.
