Can anyone else reproduce the memory leak described below? Any insight into what may be causing the leak is appreciated.

I have custom code that swaps between landscape and portrait templates and exports a large number of maps to PDF. Unfortunately, there is a memory leak occurring when I swap from template to template that eventually causes the ArcMap to crash.

I can reproduce the memory leak using the Minerville data and workflow described below.

Configuration:

ArcFM Solution Desktop 10.1

ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop 10.1

Windows 7 64-bit or Windows XP 32-bit or Windows 2008 64-bit

Workflow:

1) Open Minerville database in ArcMap

2) Open “Stored Items” dropdown

3) Select “Page Templates” tab

4) Double-click the “Adjacent Grids” template to load it

5) Repeat steps 2-3 and double-click “Designer Detail Map Sheet”

6) Repeat steps 2 – 5 and watch memory usage climb in task manager

Using UMDH, the largest ArcFM-related offenders seem to be these:

UPDATE #1:

Schneider Electric's support was able to reproduce the problem and has created a bug. I was told that if a fix was made at all, it would not be available until the 10.2 release.

I'll post more as I get more information.

I also face similar situation when i was updating entire feature class and i notice that arcFM autoupdators causing the memory leak.

while ((fcDeviceGroup = featureCursor.NextFeature()) != null)
                        {
                            long mem1 = GC.GetTotalMemory(true);
                            _log.Debug("Memory Before " + mem1);
                            Debug.Print("Memory Before {0}", mem1);                          
                            processed++;
                            Console.WriteLine("Processing " + processed + " in total features: " + count);
                            if (!indexStrc)
                            {
                                structureGuid = fcDeviceGroup.Fields.FindField("globalid");
                            }
                            STRUCTUREGUID = Convert.ToString(fcDeviceGroup.get_Value(structureGuid));
                            GetOpenPointDictionary(STRUCTUREGUID, openPoint, checkStatus, busBar, ref indexSet, ref indexOpVolt);
                            Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject(fcDeviceGroup);
                            long mem2 = GC.GetTotalMemory(true);
                            Debug.Print("Memory After {0}", mem2);
                            Debug.Print("Difference {0}", mem1 - mem2);
                            _log.Debug("Memory After " + mem2);
                            _log.Debug("Difference " + Convert.ToString(mem1 - mem2));
                        }
                        if (featureCursor != null)
                        {
                            while (Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject(featureCursor) > 0) { }
                        }

This is code i was using to check for memory leak. When autoupdors was enable then every iteration memory sampling was.

After disabling AU's memory consumption almost stable. For disabling AU's, I used following code.

 private static mmAutoUpdaterMode EnableAutoupdaters()
        {
            object objAutoUpdater = null;
            //Create an MMAutoupdater 
            objAutoUpdater = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("mmGeodatabase.MMAutoUpdater"));
            autoupdater = objAutoUpdater as IMMAutoUpdater;
            //Save the existing mode
            mmAutoUpdaterMode oldMode = autoupdater.AutoUpdaterMode;//autoupdater.AutoUpdaterMode
            //Turn off autoupdater events
            autoupdater.AutoUpdaterMode = mmAutoUpdaterMode.mmAUMNoEvents;//mmAutoUpdaterMode.mmAUMStandAlone

            return oldMode;
        }

You can call this method before doing any DML operation. I hope this will help to find the problem.
