Problem Description

Typically this occurs when the APPLY process runs out of memory. The error you will see will look something like this:

Memory limit (set in DDC to 2147483648) exhausted, current allocations: 2253050918 2015/01/22 12:22:43 INFO> Trying to create support package (base error: FATAL-5259: Memory limit (set in DDC to 2147483648) exhausted, current allocations: 2253050918) FATAL-5259: Memory limit (set in DDC to 2147483648) exhausted, current allocations: 2254060918 Memory limit (set in DDC to 2147483648) exhausted, current allocations: 2253050918

This  happens when there are many concurrent transactions applying at the same time, taking up a lot of memory.

Solution

The solution is to increase the APPLY memory.

  • In the APPLY.ddc file increase the memory allocation:

    set MEMORY_LIMIT_APPLY_MB 4096

    Note: This setting should be entered in the APPLY.ddc file as the last line of the file after:

    Otherwise, the change will not take effect.

  • The APPLY process must then be restarted.
