Memory increase by using WMI Service

Hello !

I have tested all variants "Varlear(Results)", "Variantcleart(Results)" and "Varlear(Arguments)", "Variantcleart(Arguments)" and without Clear.

After I Start the cyclic Read of the network State the memory increase 100 kb every second !

I have quickly reviewed your code (it should be said that I do not know Delphi much). There is one thing that may be incorrect, although I am not 100% sure.

It seems to me that you should be releasing the results that you obtain from QuickOPC operation calls. That would affect 3 places in your code:
  • In TOPCThreadSender.Write, I would put VarClear(Results) after you are done with processing the results.
  • In TOPCThreadReader.Read, I would put VarClear(Results) after you are done with processing the results.
  • In TOPCThreadChange.subscribe, I would put VarClear(HandleArray) after you are done with processing the results.

OleVariant documentation: I have tried to figure out whether OleVariant will itself clear the contained value upon leaving the scope, and it seems that it should, but note that here we assigning the safearray to it in somewhat special way, and therefore I am not sure whether it will work as normally. So, this may not be the cause of the memory increase, but please try it first, before we explore other hypothesis.

Best regards

OK, if the memory went to such 1.5 GB then it is clear that there is a problem somewhere.
Most likely cause is that there is an unreleased COM interface pointer somewhere in the Delphi code.
I will have a look at it.

I do not quite understand what has the GetNetworks procedure you posted, and the WMI usage, have to do with it.

Hello !

I have already Test our Application over a Weekend !

We write all 60 seconds the private Size, memory asured in a Excel File !

This File shows that the memory increase !

We have open the Resourcemonitor and that shows that the Size in "Zugesichert (KB)" periodic increase !







After the weekend, the Process was 1.5 GBYTE and windows message show "Not enough memory !"

Hello,

first thing to do is to observe the observe the process memory using PerfMon for a *long time*, and post the graph/data here.

This is necessary because the underlying .NET memory is managed, and what seems as an increase may then fall back to normal after some time. More about this e.g. www.opclabs.com/forum/ua-general/2278-internal-long-running-test-results .

Hello !

In our application we use WMI Service to get the Network Adapter and Network Connect State !
if I use this code without to start the TEasyUAClient communication the Memory of the Process is O.K.

After start a communication to OPC UA with readmultiplevalues() the memory of the process increase rapidly !


FSWbemLocator := CreateOleObject('WbemScripting.SWbemLocator');
  FWMIService := FSWbemLocator.ConnectServer('localhost',
    'root\WMI', '', '');
