Question & Answer


Question

After running InfoSphere DataStage jobs for a while with Operations Console and Workload Management Server (WLM) enabled, the Operations Console processes stop one after another with error "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to create a thread" in odbqapp logs. For example, the error below in /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSODB/logs/odbqapp-20141124144639888.log 2014-11-20 08:54:05,817 ERROR com.ibm.datastage.runtime.odbqapp.server.ODBQueryAppSocketServer.main (ODBQueryAppSocketServer.java:393) - The exception occurred while creating a server socket. The exception message is:Failed to create a thread: retVal -1073741830, errno 11 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to create a thread: retVal -1073741830, errno 11

How can I solve the issue?
