Increasing Java Memory available to Applications Manager.
Release: AAMOS499000-8.0-Automic Applications Manager-OS400 Agent
Component:
Applications Manager 9.x
Error Message Details:
ErrorMsg: AwE-9999 Internal error (1/7/11 7:19 PM)
Details: null
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
ErrorMsg: AwE-9999 Internal error (9/13/20 2:42 AM)
Details: GC overhead limit exceeded
Symptoms
An error similar to the one above is displayed in a pop-up dialog box while in the Applications Manager (AM) client or is found in the RmiServer log.
Cause
The error above may occur due to Applications Manager's increased reliance on Java and there not being enough Java resources to handle the work. By default we allocate 1024 MB of Java memory, which may not be enough in some AM environments. The error may occur whenever you run out of Java memory. This can occur at different times but we have seen this error occur most often when:
Resolution
The java memory available to Applications Manager can be increased by adding a line in the sosite file, stopping the RmiServer/AgentService process, executing the sosite file to incorporate the change and restarting the RmiServer/AgentService process. If remote Agent, only the AgentService process needs to be restarted.
Below are the instructions for Unix/Linux and Windows environments to increase the Java memory allocated to AM to 2048 MB.
UNIX / Linux
Edit the $AW_HOME/site/sosite file and add the appropriate AX_JAVA_OPTIONS line to the end of the file, then save the changes and exit.
For most UNIX operating systems add:Verify that the change took effect:
ps –aef | grep java
You should see something similar to this, which indicates that the java process is utilizing 2048 MB of memory:
java -DAGENT=UNIX80 -Xmx2048m -DAW_HOME=/home/qa4/unix80 -DOsType=UNIX com.appworx.server.data.AxRmiServerWindows
Edit the %AW_HOME%\site\sosite.bat file and add the AX_JAVA_OPTIONS line to the end of the file, then save the changes and exit.
set AX_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmx2048m (Limit may be 1536M in some systems)
Then execute the following commands for the change to take effect:
NOTE:
A dynamic Java memory range can also be set by modifying the AX_JAVA_OPTIONS variable similar to this:
AX_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xms512m -Xmx2024m"
In the example above this entry would allow AM to allocate up to twice the normal amount of memory to be used by the RmiServer process as needed.
