Cause:

There is not enough memory available for the agent and as a result, the agent hangs.

Environment:

Release : 11.3
Component : CA Workload Automation System Agent

Resolution:

Increase the amount of minimum and maximum memory for the agent JVM by setting the following in agentparm.txt file and recycle the agent.
You need to ensure that you have enough free physical memory available on the server to support the increase.
