Hi all,
I wrote a code for MQ Client using .net c# to poll a queue and wait for 10 secs and retry after 10 secs and I realise from the task manager that the memory keep increasing even when there is no message. below are my code please take a look.
After connecting to the QMgr and open the Queue...
| Code: |
public partial class MQ_PRISMS : Form
{
MQ_API objMQ = new MQ_API();
string strReturn = null;
//Some other methods to connect and open Queue
public void MQGetMessage()
{
while (true)
{
strReturn = objMQ.MQGetMessage();
if (strReturn != "2033" & strReturn != "Message Committed")
{
//do something
}
}
}
}
class MQ_API
{
MQQueueManager queueManager;
MQQueue queue;
MQQueue queueException;
MQMessage queueMessage;
MQPutMessageOptions MQPutMsgOpt;
MQGetMessageOptions MQGetMsgOpt;
string strExceptionQueueName;
string strReturn;
string strMessage;
Boolean blnSuccess = false;
Boolean blnDBSuccess = false;
Boolean blnConnectSuccess = false;
Boolean blnOpenSuccess = false;
int intGetMsgOptions;
int intPutMsgOptions;
string strApplDataID;
public string MQGetMessage()
{
intGetMsgOptions = MQC.MQGMO_CONVERT | MQC.MQGMO_SYNCPOINT | MQC.MQGMO_WAIT;
strExceptionQueueName = Properties.Settings.Default.ErrorQueueName;
try
{
queueMessage = new MQMessage();
queueMessage.CharacterSet = 437;
queueMessage.Encoding = 546;
MQGetMsgOpt = new MQGetMessageOptions();
MQGetMsgOpt.Options = intGetMsgOptions;
MQGetMsgOpt.WaitInterval = 10000;
queue.Get(queueMessage, MQGetMsgOpt); //"jump to CATCH when no message in the queue.."
strMessage = queueMessage.ReadString(queueMessage.MessageLength);
strApplDataID = queueMessage.ApplicationIdData;
strApplDataID = strApplDataID.Substring(0, 8);
//Do some other stuff...
}
catch (MQException MQexp)
{
if (MQexp.ReasonCode == 2033)
{
strReturn = Convert.ToString(MQexp.ReasonCode);
}
else
strReturn = "MQException: " + Convert.ToString(MQexp.ReasonCode);
}
catch (Exception exp)
{
strReturn = "Exception: " + exp.Message;
}
return strReturn;
}
}

Which version of MQ & .NET are you using? I have a faint memory (!) of a memory leak in early versions of the .NET support.

Hi,
I am using MQ V6.000 and .net Framework V2.
thought the garbage collector should handle the new object?
Thanks. |

Ok, so not what I was thinking of clearly. But 2 other points occur:
1) You should apply some maintenance to MQ - the plain v6 is not all it could be;
2) You may want to consider using .NET 1.1 instead.
A lot of things should happen in this world. A surprising number of them don't, for one reason or another.

Make sure you close correctly any MQ resource used after you are done with it. It is never a good thing to leave the resource for automatic garbage collection ... You should explicitely close(or release) the resource when no longer needed. This makes for better resource availability and memory management. Also use resource pools whenever available and appropriate.
Enjoy

Hi,
But MQmessage for .net can't release the object. it doesnt have any method to release. I believe i kept new the MQmessage object and tt why the memory increase over time. GC will only collect it when it gets to a value.
Thanks |

Why are you 'polling' the queue in the first place?
Why not just issue a get with an unlimitied wait? |

Hi,
I did a get with unlimited wait too, the memory increase but slower only. as long as there is a message the memory increase.. i left it over the weekend with no message sent the memory stays. I think shld be the GC not doing the work as expected.
I tried out on the debugger mode using VS.net, the MQ message object i created around 20 instances ago willl only be release then. this maybe due to debugger mode but i believe the release may take a while to release the object too.
I tried sending messages at 10 per sec, the memory increase like mad.. it gets over 500 mb in around 30 mins...  |

| Have you tried disposing of the message area within the same loop that you create the new message area? |

What you mean by disposing? MQMessage does not have tt method dispose.
Thanks |
