How to increase Java heap size for Program Objects?

[Former Member]

I wrote a Java program object for XIr2 that is running into some OutOfMemory errors when opening reports with large data sets. How can I increase the heap size for my Program object? This would be similar to the java command "java -Xms64m -Xmx256m <class>" to set the initial and maximum heap sizes. I didn't see any options for this in the CMC or as a command line parameter to the Job Server in the CCM.

Thanks,

Log onto the CMC, and in the "Arguments" field for the Program Object Process -> Parameters, add the following:

{-jvmArgs -Xms64m -Xmx256m}

and that will add the contents to the Java exe command-line.

As always, the man with all the answers comes through! Thanks Ted!

After some additional testing, I'm having another problem -- my app takes command line arguments as parameters. I've tried to combine the required arguments with the -jvmArgs flag in a few ways.

1. "Argument1 -jvmArgs -Xms64m -Xmx256m" -- the app thinks there are no arguments supplied

2. "-jvmArgs -Xms64m -Xmx256m Argument1" -- the JVM thinks that Argument1 is my Java class name

What's the solution to this?

On a related note, are there any other flags available aside from -jvmArgs? Is this documented somewhere?

Did you mean:

{-jvmArgs -Xms64m -Xmx256m} Argument1

That was it, I glossed over those braces. Adding that works brilliantly, so thanks yet again.

Is there a document somewhere that explains this and other options available when working with Program objects? I don't recall seeing it in the Dev Library anywhere, but I could have easily missed it out there.

Happy to hear it's working for you!

Unfortunately, there's no documentation that I'm aware of.

That particular option was added not at release but with XI Release 2 Service Pack 1.
