unable to alloc xxxx bytes

[Bill Bertera]

I have an interface that creates XML files. I’ve been getting an error when the data is too big. I use odbc to get the data, then use GRMs to store the data, and I get the error when I try to encode the data from the GRM to a message handle. What resource am I running out of? Our server should have plenty of physical & shared memory available.

any ideas?

Hi Bil,

I recently had the same error, but under different circumstances: I added some threads to an already crowded process and after a while the process dumped with ‘Unable to realloc xxxx bytes’. The solution was to split this process into several smaller ones and all has been running fine now.

Our Dutch supplier asked us to check the system parameters: look at the Installation Guide/HP-UX Scratch Install (in our case)/System Requirements/System Parameter Settings.

I also checked the archives and noticed that the only posts on this subject were done by HP-UX installations. Is this a specific HP-UX problem?

We run CL5.2.1 on HP-UX 11.00.
