Symptoms

Currently, it takes 24 hrs for old versions of APM config snapshots that are not being used to time out and to release the memory. If access profiles are complex and are updated frequently within 24 hrs, memory resource is likely to be exhausted.

Impact

TMM may run out of memory and crash, causing service interruption.

Conditions

If access profiles are updated frequently within 24 hrs and each version of the configuration snapshot contains many variables.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

Per-session access policy snapshots are now deleted after 60 minutes instead of 24 hours.
