Cube Behaviour

[praveensannidhi]

Hi,

Starting a cube grabs memory. Shutting down a cube does not release that memory. Shutting the instance that the cube runs in release memory for all cubes in the instance Is this expected behavior?

Yes. TM1 grabs memory as required from the OS. When it no longer requires that memory is recycles it within TM1, but does not release it back to the OS until the instance is restarted.

So what you should find is if you open cube A, unload it, then open cube B you should be using less memory than if you open cube A then open cube B without unloading cube A.

Just by the way unloading a cube is not standard practice.
