Reply To: Memory Maintenance for QDXi 3.8.1 on AIX 5.1

You may have to split that file into smaller chuncks. This exactually what we do now.

I am processing X12 files. I may have an enrollment file with several hundred members or a claim file with a couple thousand claims in it. We have a tcl that counts the number of lines, and splits the file into smaller files if the size limit is exceeded.

I believe our problem lies in processing all those smaller files. After we translate all those files, we have to merge them back into a single file. Hence the use of global variables and metedata. We have to maintain data values throught the TPS stack in order to properly reassemble the file, name it correctly and put the output in the proper directory.

When the process dies in the middle of processing all these files, we bounce the process. We put the same file through, and it processes fine. So it seems as if some memory consumption is building. I’m trying to find out what’s doing it.

Any suggestions?
