PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 All users of IBM WebSphere Application
Server

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Memory leak when running Business
Process Manager Advanced version
8.5.5.0

RECOMMENDATION:
None

When running Business Process Manager Advanced version
8.5.5.0, the number of the following objects continually
increases.
org.apache.tuscany.sca.core.assembly.impl.RuntimeEndpointImpl
org.apache.tuscany.sca.core.assembly.impl.RuntimeEndpointReferen
ceImpl
The objects are chained and the chain grows over time.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
Code has been changed to prevent these objects from being       
created and chained.
