2927.0. "Important Test for management module developers" by TOOK::A_MOORE () Mon May 04 1992 21:33

The most important test for AMs is that show  commands  do  not  leak.

Since   they   are   used  by  Alarms,  Graph,  Export  and  Historian
continously.   A small continously leak can bring down MCC.

A Access Module developers need to perform the following tests.
The basic AM test is monitoring a show command.


        SHOW entity foo attribute, at every 00:00:30 until +04:00:00

        By monitoring the memory consuption with 

                VMS     Show process/cont/id=xxx

                ULTRIX  ps -v#pid

There are caches that grow to a limited size.  The AES cache can be turned off
by: 	Define MCC_AES_CACHE_size 0  or Ultrix setenv MCC_AES_CACHE_size 0

If memory use is growing, FakeVM can be used to zero in on the leak once found.

Any Field Test sites see a leak code path that we have missed let us know.
