Issue/Introduction

After starting the jetty launcher through Service Manager for the first time, it fails to start.

After putting the command through the command line, we see the following message returned.

“Error occurred during initialization of VM. Could not reserve enough space for object heap”

Environment

Release : 21.0.4

Resolution

Verify if your server has enough available RAM to start AWI. Our sizing guide requires a minimum of 8 GB of RAM.

Here is a sample command to start jetty with 8 GB.

java -Xrs -Xmx8G -jar aa-webui-launcher.jar
