Steps to Reproduce
- Launch the Customer process Manager (CPM) 7 CustomerServiceInsurance Portal using Chrome browser.
- Create inbound call interaction (New > Inbound Call - Song - Auto).
- Wrap up the call.
- Repeat steps 2-3 ten times.
- Through out the process observe the Chrome memory using Chrome task manager.
- Observe there are objects (PegaGadget iframes) from previous tabs that are still present in the page Data Object modelling (DOM).
Root Cause
A defect in Pegasystems’ code or rules: Several JavaScript Event Listeners (EL) are not being unregistered correctly on interaction wrap-up.
This leaves unwanted DOM references that prevent the browser Garbage Collector to effectively free the browser memory.
