Memory Leak in Solaris Agent 12.3.9

Products

• CA Automic Workload Automation - Automation Engine

Issue/Introduction

In the following environment:

Automic Workload Automation version 21.0.3-HF1 with Solaris agents 12.3.9. 

Several jobs are ending abnormally because of the following error:

U02003043 Invalid 'fork' call. Error code: ('12' - 'Cannot allocate memory')

The RAM usage of the Solaris agent went up to almost 3GB and each file transfer creates a process fork with its own 3GB RAM usage.
Having multiple file transfers in parallel quickly leads to job aborts because the system is out of memory. 

 

Environment

Release : 12.3.9

Component : Solaris agent 12.3.9

Cause

This is a defect in the agent. 

Resolution

This is being resolved in a hotfix for v12.3.9. 

Currently, there is no set release date.
