A little Eclipse tip, plugin-spy can help you find where pieces were
contributed from. Alt+Shift+F1 gives info about the active view,
Alt+Shift+F2 then click on specific action / menu item gives info about
that action / menu item.
Using these in that preference page should give you information on which
plugin contributed it.

Kenneth,
I suspect those bits (Memory Monitor, in Preferences > General >
Performance Monitors) came from the Rational Business Developer component
of RDi-SOA 8.0... Does anyone else run RDi-SOA 8 that can look for this
property?
The only other plugin we routinely install is for TurnOver SCM... Oh, and
the open source RSE extensions from Softlanding.

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] RDP 8.5 eating memory
This morning I am having significant memory jumps again...the heap status
is already up to 596M with very little work done.
So I went back into preferences to find how I can turn on some monitoring
stuff so I can get some dumps to send into IBM. However, I couldn't find
the exact location of those settings.
What items do I need to turn on in order to generate the files? I know
where they're deposited, but see nothing there leading me to believe this
stuff is off right now.
I'll be sending in some files then once I have them.

It is, just not sure where it came from... I also have the heap monitor

Since Ken's email, I have turned that on. But I thought that the
performance monitor may have been something different.

Thanks for this tip!
I bumped into "Preferences > General > Performance Monitors > Memory
Monitor" this morning and wonder if this might help some of the users with
the memory issues they've reported... I didn't enable it, since I don't
seem to have these problems... Has anyone tried this?

One thing you can try...go to Window, Preferences...on the General branch,
there is a "Show Heap Status" you can check. This will show a Heap Size
status at the lower right corner of RDP. To the right of that is a Trash
Can icon entitled "Run Garbage Collector". Click on this when you see the
size getting up there, and it sometimes will alleviate memory usage.
Several years back I brought to IBM's attention the issue of memory usage
and they did find a bug which was subsequently fixed. However I have
noted slight increases in memory usage still taking place as I use the
product throughout the day (just not as bad as it was). Restarting RDP
does work but it shouldn't be necessary to have to do this. As PCs get
more memory this is less of an issue, but still it does affect
performance.
On a side note, we've noted RDP appears to be a big offender when it comes
to fragmentation on the hard drive. No other software I've used has
contributed to this as much as RDP has. This has caused me to make
defragmentation a part of my weekly routine, if not sooner.

Anyone run across this? As I run with RDP8.5 open all day, eventually it
consumes just over 2GB of memory. Response time begins to degrade, when I
notice this I close it and restart it, but sort of a pain to do that
several times a day.
I noticed that opening a given member uses 30MB of memory. Closing the
member does not release the storage. Opening the same member again uses
another 30MB, and so on and so on until it can't run anymore.
Any thoughts as to anything I can do from this end to help it release
resources?
