[TIGGE #EEC-237791]: Memory problem with LDM Server at CMA

Good.  The LDM log messages might help.

Good.

I recommend that you increase the size of your LDM product-queue,
if possible.  The output of "pqmon"

    $ pqmon -q /space/ldm_pq/ldm.pq
    Jan 16 22:17:17 pqmon NOTE: Starting Up (32004)
    Jan 16 22:17:17 pqmon NOTE: nprods nfree  nempty      nbytes  maxprods  
maxfree  minempty    maxext  age
    Jan 16 22:17:17 pqmon NOTE:   7029  1509  616462  2437516304     57717     
4704    566504    428800 641
    Jan 16 22:17:17 pqmon NOTE: Exiting

shows that the oldest data-product in the queue was inserted into
the queue only 641 seconds ago.  Such a small queue can result in
warning messages like

    Jan 16 22:03:17 tgn01 pqact[15984] WARN: Processed oldest product in queue: 
628.452 s 

and risks "pqact" not processing all data-products.  Normally,
we advise that the product-queue hold about one hour's worth of
data.  Unfortunately, increasing the size of the queue will
increase the size of the LDM processes and might cause your
problem to become worse.  Can you increase the amount of memory?

Steve Emmerson
