Memory usage messages and garbage collection

It is not possible to configure the content of the logging messages to provide enough detail to indicate or warn of memory issues. The only way to obtain a more accurate picture of memory usage is through running the garbage collector.

Guidewire does not support running the garbage collector merely for the sake of more detailed logging. However, to obtain more detailed information on PolicyCenter memory usage in the current configuration, enable garbage collector logging.

You only need to worry about memory issues if the server throws an OutOfMemoryError exception. If that happens, Guidewire recommends that you configure the garbage collector to print out detailed memory information.
