Environment

Release : 6.x

Component : DOLLAR UNIVERSE

Sub-component: du_upgrade_toolkit

Cause

Insufficient value for the -Xmx setting that specifies the maximum memory allocation pool for a Java virtual machine (JVM) (by default set to 1024m via the variable UXMAXJVMMEM).

Resolution

The default Xmx setting of 1024m neither 2048m were not enough for the upgrade of this node.

This should be increased to 4096m as explained here by exporting the variable UXMAXJVMMEM before launching any of the commands (uniexp/uniimp/uniupgrade) from the du_upgrade_toolkit.

For example, for Unix/Linux, add this line in the script being used before launching the related command.

export UXMAXJVMMEM=4096
