Hello,

you are using Derby as your database. This is not a supported database for the current Alfresco version, but I do not know, if this was the case for Alfresco 3.0.0 (which is quite old). It might by that you suffer from this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3379

Generally, I'd advise to consider upgrading / updating your software stack. JBoss 2.x is quite old as well and who knows what other components might contain some potential, long fixed errors / bugs…

Regards
Axel

Hello,

upgrading is an advice and not a must, since I have not the necessary information to judge it as such. At the least, you should consider upgrading your Derby components, as the issue linked is very similar to what you experience and should be fixed in a newer version.

If you don't want to migrate or upgrade you will need to figure out what's gone wrong with your database. There's no information in your posting that helps diagnose your problem. All that can be said is that you have some sort of database problem.

Hello,

this indicates that either a) your Derby has a memory leak and runs full of memory, or b) due to size / transactional data set, the memory alloted to your Derby instance is not enough. An alternative scenario c) could be that the settings for GC are not optimal and may cause an unstable JVM in certain conditions - but this is difficult to say without extensive analysis.

You should check your Derby JVM settings and adjust the max heap size as a short term solution to a) / long term adaption to b). In order to determine wether a) is the case, you would need to profile / analyze the Derby JVM memory usage.

Dear Sir,
Could you please let me know how adjust the heap size for DERBY DATABASE..i know how to change the heap size for Alfresco("JAVA_OPTS=") in "./alfresco.sh" file but i do not know for DERBY please tell me how do so…or is there any way to free up the derby memory..

Thank You..

Hello,

this depends on how you have deployed / setup Derby. Basically, it is the same parameters used to increase heap for Alfresco (since both run in a JVM).
An example can be found via http://lmgtfy.com/?q=apache+derby+heap+size
