[Spacewalk-list] Error while executing packages action: empty transaction

[BERGMAN Andrew]

After viewing the taskomatic logs during startup of the service I saw there was out-of-memory errors after all.  I have extended the memory for tomcat to 1GB and the memory for taskomatic to 2GB.

No more errors and the package installed correctly after I rebuilt all the repo data.

Thanks

Not really, there was a few taskomatic errors this month but none that stood out as an issue and these were over a week ago:

[root at svhm-spacewalk rhn]# grep ERROR rhn_taskomatic_daemon*|grep "2014/09"

The only errors in catalina.out was a repeated:
SEVERE: A web application created a ThreadLocal with key of type [null] (value [com.redhat.rhn.frontend.xmlrpc.LoggingInvocationProcessor$1 at 4a766b9a]) and a value of type [org.apache.commons.lang.time.StopWatch] (value [0:00:00.000]) but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. To prevent a memory leak, the ThreadLocal has been forcibly removed.

Are you seeing any errors in /var/log/rhn/rhn_taskomatic*.log or /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out?
