Unable to create Mar file or deploy VS through Workstation for larger VSI's

Products

• Service Virtualization

Issue/Introduction

Have a VSI with a 30mb size, after adding few transactions, the size got increased to 120 mb.  Now are not able to open the VSI.

When trying to deploy this service, getting below error.

"DevTest Workstation has run out of memory. Please either 1) Close unneeded screens, 2) Increase the memory size for the DevTest Workstation process (see Documentation on this), or 3) Restart the application and try again."

Have added memory in Workstation.vmoption file , increased -Xmx to 8GB and are able to open the VSI but still unable to deploy to a remote VSE. 

 

 

 

 

 

Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Cause

VSI is holding large data , and not able to build the .mari fle

Resolution

In DEVTEST_HOME/lisa.properties file, already have a property  to handle this situation gracefully by compressing the dependent files.

The default value for VSI file compression is  500mb

##==================================================
## VSI file to compress before processing to get dependent files
## will compress .vsi file of min. size limit 524288000 bytes(i.e. 500 mb)
##==================================================
#lisa.vsi.compress.minsize=524288000

To handle this .vsi(i.e. 120 mb) processing without failures, have decreased the size in this property to consider a minimum of 100 mb to compress while processing.

lisa.vsi.compress.minsize=104857600
