    Brian,

    I just happened to be going through the older messages when I came across this one.  Ironically we are having similar issues intermittantly with one of our tcl procs that we call from cron for some reporting.  Occasionnaly we will get a core dump and the message (if captured) that is returned is “unable to alloc …. bytes.”

    I am in the process of rewriting the proc that should be less memory hungry, but I am curious.

    Did you ever find a resolution?

    If not anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks.

    We are running QDXi 3.8.1 on AIX 5.1, and we are experiencing hciengine abends. The last message in the process log file before abending is: “unable to alloc 8388613 bytes”. The number of bytes changes from one message to another. This allocation is of internal memory not disc space. Our discs have plenty of room. AIX abends with a Signal 6.

    We are processing batch X12 files. Our problems occur either before or after translation in our tcl.

    My basic question is: how does QDXi handle memory? Is there something we can add to our tcl to release memory? We use global variables in all our scripts. Will using metadata save memory?

    Any feedback will be appreciated.
