FMS 4.5 crashing. Shared memory heap has exceeded 90 usage.

FMS is crashing with the following errors:

2011-12-06	10:24:02	12461   (w)2581227	Shared memory heap (__FCS__) has exceeded 90 usage. Consider increasing the heap size to prevent future memory allocation failures.	-

When I try to restart I get:

2011-12-06

7933

(e)2781340

Process 7933 failed to create IPC queue __FCS__ : Failed to allocate shared memory.

I've noticed the problem resolves when I restart fmsadmin. I think fmsadmin is using up all the shared memory, not sure. There are HTTP requests periodically being sent to fmsadmin, could this be a source of memory leak?

The server has 6 GB RAM and there are only about 100-200 connections being used. Runs without issues most of the time, crashes once every few days.

What is the shared memory heap and how do I increase it?

Hi,

Thanks for the details, what kind of httpcommands are being sent to fmsadmin ?

[WellSantosSilvaBR]

I have the same problem... and the commands that i have passed, are the same of the default instalation...!!!

Like those below...

<Allow>ping,getServerStats,getFileCacheStats,getInstanceStats,getConfig2,reloadApp,getActiveInstances,getLiveStreams,getLiveStreamStats</Allow>

it still happen sometimes with AMS 5.0.x

I wouldn't expect to see any fixes or responses on the issue as AMS has reached end of life. If you have a legitimate license and a support contract with Adobe, you can contact them directly, but outside of that I would expect you'll need to find a workaround or settle unfortunately.

AMS reached End of life? any article on it?

why?

[Graeme Bull]

Lack of popularity and usage most likely. The competition got far ahead and Adobe's priorities changed I believe.

[Robert Mc Dowell]

AMS is rock solid, hundred of thousands professionals and hobbyist use it.

the competitors are not really a long shot business usually...

btw, if Adobe has other priorities why not to release AMS in open source so I'm pretty sure thousands

of developers would be happy to fork it.

Hi Bob,

Do you have an existing support contract for AMS?

Also, what type of license you have?
