Marko Žmak	Wednesday 02 February 2011 9:21:19 am While debugging some memory leakage in my script I ran into this forum post: http://share.ez.no/forums/developer/memory-problem-will-running-cronjob Using: $object->resetDataMap(); eZContentObject::clearCache( array( $object->attribute('id') ) ); helped solving my leakage problem, but the interesting part is that using only eZContentObject::clearCache() without resetDataMap() also solved my problem. So, is resetDataMap() really needed when you use eZContentObject::clearCache(), ok can we go without it? -- Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it! Hubert Farnsworth
Damien Pobel	Thursday 03 February 2011 1:06:44 pm Hi Marko, AFAIK, eZContentObject::clearCache() is usually enough to circumvent memory issues in CLI scripts because it clears a cache that stores all content objects in memory while eZContentObject::resetData() only clears the data map of the object that can be quite small and should be cleared by clearCache() anyway.

Jérôme Vieilledent	Friday 04 February 2011 12:43:59 am Hello Marko and Damien I already had memory issues using only eZContentObject::clearCache(). Normally it would indeed clear all the circular references to the object, it actually doesn't. I don't know why, maybe a PHP issue but anyway, the best way to avoid memory leaks is to use both eZContentObject::clearCache() and eZContentObject::resetDataMap(). Here you can find an example in SQLIImport content framework (loot at the flush() method, call by the destructor) :
Damien Pobel	Friday 04 February 2011 1:27:22 am Hi, I guess you encountered those problems with PHP 5.2 ? PHP 5.3 solves a lot of problem in memory management. Anyway,there's no problem in calling both resetDataMap() and clearCache() methods in a CLI scripts.
