Symptoms

Using Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) 10.1.3.5.6, and running one scheduler Agent, with the following Java settings in the ODI "odiparams.sh" file:

The jobs are scheduled to run every n minutes. After a couple of days, the OS memory is used up and the OS user gets a Closed Connection error and can not log into the machine any more. The symptoms vary depending on the environment set up but mostly other symptoms are:

• ODI Agent dies with no error.
• the scheduled Scenario errors with java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
• Or Scenarios hang at RUNNING status forever.

It happens regardless which version of the Java is being used.
