Introduction to managing server memory

Objects loaded on the Teamcenter server remain in the server memory throughout the session. If unused objects are not removed, long-running sessions generate significant memory usage which can cause memory errors. To avoid these errors, Teamcenter provides automatic cleanup of unused objects. The default configuration of the memory cleanup operation unloads unused objects from the server in the order they were last accessed. The least recently accessed objects are unloaded first. The operation begins when the memory server size reaches 12,000 KB, and stops when the memory server size reaches 5,000 KB. This default configuration of memory cleanup behavior is sufficient for most sites. The default settings are not optimal when: Users work with very large assemblies. All sessions are short-running sessions with minimal server memory needs; therefore, the site has no need of automatic memory cleanup.
