One of my associates is complaining that since I applied the Coldfusion 10 Update 14 we are experiencing memory issues.  Has anyone else had issues with Update 14?

Just a System Admin fighting the good fight!

Hi,

We are experiencing the same thing. Our servers were performing wonderfully before the patch and now CPU and memory are both sky high and will not come back down. When I do a manual garbage collection in Fusion Reactor hardly any memory is released. There is definitely something going on with this patch. I am thinking about downgrading to update 13 and see what happens.

Here are my specs:

Server 1

- Windows Server 2008 R2

- ColdFusion 10, Update 14

- Java 1.7.67

Server 2

- Windows Server 2008 R2

- ColdFusion 10, Update 14

- Java 1.8.25

Before opening a new thread - we are seeing similar issues.

We are running CF 10 - installed patch 13 and 14 and now the Java heap sizes grows continuously.  Garbage collection is not making much of a difference even when run manually.

We used to run Heap size at 2GB on patch 12 without issue.

Now on Patch 14 - we are running out of heap memory even with a new setting of 8GB.

The heap never stops growing.  Heap Size grows non-stop until CPU 100% and causes outage.  It takes about 1-2 days for this to happen.

Only change was the CF 13 and 14 patch.

Which Garbage Collection method are you using?  Have you tried using the G1GC method?  Don't know if it will solve your particular problem, but it did improve performance on my servers.

There are issues with ColdFusion 10 Update 14, only if you are behind a lockdown environment. You can refer to Resolving "500 Internal Server Error" with ColdFusion 10 Update 14 — Adobe ColdFusion Blog for more info.

That's rather vague.  Can you provide specifics about the "memory issues"?  Are you seeing performance impacts or actual errors?  If the latter, can you provide stack traces?  What operating system (and version) are you using, and what version of Java?

I know its vague as it is just a general question.  I was just putting feelers out to see if anyone else is experiencing issues with the latest update.

Most of the issues I've heard about are as Anit suggested - they are related to the IIS web connectors.  I can't recall seeing any complaints here, in other forums, or on Twitter with regard to memory issues.

One thing Update 14 provides is Java 8 compatibility.  What version of Java are you running?
