Docker version of TDM Portal does not recognize the HEAPSIZE masking option

Products

• CA Test Data Manager (Data Finder / Grid Tools)

Issue/Introduction

When setting the HEAPSIZE option in the /home/tdm/.tdm/conf/fdm/global_options.txt file, the Docker version of TDM Portal fails to load this option, and uses the default heaps size instead. 

Environment

TDM Portal Docker - all supported releases

Cause

The HEAPSIZE option is used by the Java framework and not by FDM itself/

Simply put, it cannot be implemented and will never work in the local options, or global options file. This is also the reason why you won't find this option listed among the masking options in the TDM documentation.

Resolution

This has been corrected in TDM Portal 4.11.154.0, for both the Windows version and Docker version.

The patches have also been uploaded to the Test Data Manager (TDM) Support Patches page.

After installing the new release, you will need: to edit:

• For Windows:
  • Edit the application.properties file, uncomment the tdmweb.TDMMaskingService.fdm.defaultHeapSize, and set the property to the value you want to use.
• For Docker/Kubernetes:
  • The tdmweb.TDMMaskingService.fdm.defaultHeapSize property has to be updated inside the:
    1. Portal container (this affects the UI)
    2. All masking containers (this affects the FastDataMasker processes).
