Invalid initial heap size in JVM 1.4.2_04 on Solaris 9 machine

Hi,
While running this command.
# java -Xms8096m -Xmx8096m newserver.sh
I am getting the following error:
Invalid initial heap size: -Xms5000m
Could not create the Java virtual machine
I tried with - server option also. But same error. Can any one tell me what is the limit of heap size allowed in Solaris 9? Plz tell me work around for this.
Thanks,
Vasanth.

  • Invalid initial heap size Problem with sdk1.4.2_03

    Hi,
    ich habe a troubling error with the java version 1.4.2_03.
    I use an Ant Task to start a Weblogic Server (J2EE Server). For this, I use the following Ant code :
    -----ANT CODE------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    <java classname="weblogic.Server" fork="true" failonerror="true" dir="${weblogic.domain.dir}">
    <sysproperty key="bea.home" value="${bea.home.dir}"/>
    <sysproperty key="weblogic.Name" value="${weblogic.admin.server.name}"/>
    <sysproperty key="weblogic.management.username" value="${weblogic.user.name}"/>
    <sysproperty key="weblogic.management.password" value="${weblogic.user.password}"/>
    <sysproperty key="weblogic.ProductionModeEnabled" value="false"/>
    <sysproperty key="java.security.policy" value="${weblogic.home.dir}\server\lib\weblogic.policy"/>
    <sysproperty key="weblogic.security.SSL.trustedCAKeyStore" value="${weblogic.home.dir}\server\lib\cacerts"/>
         <jvmarg value="-Xms32m -Xmx200m"/>
    <classpath>
    <pathelement path="${windows.classpath.wls}"/>
    </classpath>
    </java>
    -----/ANT CODE------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This Task perfectly works with the sdk java version 1.4.1_05, but I have the following message with the sdk java version 1.4.2_03 :
    -----ERROR MESSAGE---------------------------------------------------
    Invalid initial heap size: -Xms32m -Xmx200m
    Could not create the Java virtual machine.
    -----/ERROR MESSAGE---------------------------------------------------
    The following parameter is anymore correct : <jvmarg value="-Xms32m -Xmx200m"/>
    I have tried with a lot of possibilty, 64-200, 128-200, 128-128, 256-256, 512-512, nothing works.
    I have tried without this parameter, this works fine.
    I have tried with the weblogic server without the Ant Task, and this works fine too.
    I think this is a bug in the JVM 1.4.2_03.
    What do you think about this problem ??? Do you have some solution ???
    I have also tried with another version of ant, I have the same problem. This works with JVM 1.4.1_05 and not with JVM 1.4.2_03.
    If you have an idea, please, help.
    Thanks

    If you can start a 1.4.2 JVM with all these parameters independently (i.e. not from Ant) and it works, but from Ant it doesn't work, it's more likely that the problem is somehow related to interaction between Ant and the JVM, rather than the JVM itself. So I would suggest trying some Ant forum first - I think it would also work faster than if you try to submit this bug to Sun.

  • Too low initial heap size

    Hi,
    Any idea why following line is giving too low initial heap size error in server startup.
    $JAVA_HOME/bin/java $JAVA_VM -XX:NewSize=256m -XX:MaxNewSize=256m -XX:SurvivorRatio=6 -Xms2048m -Xmx2048m -Xrs -verbose:gc
    This error is coming when I am adding -XX:NewSize=256m -XX:MaxNewSize=256m parameters.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Chintan.

    Just a thought: maybe you should use both,
    initial-heap-size="128m" max-heap-size="256m"
    I think the Client JVM defaults to max 64m, so setting the initial heap to 128m would set initial bigger than max, which leads to an error.
    hope that helps...

    I have changed the value of Xms and Xmx of JVM_ARGS to different size but I sitll get error. Anyone knows what the problem is. Thanks..

    Don't know why, but the "maximum heap size: 267380736 bytes" value is just slightly less than 256*1024*1024, wheras the reported initial size is equal to that.
    Try setting the initial value to 255MB.

  • Upto how much I can set maximum Heap size for jvm?

    I am running application on 8GB RAM Windows 64 bits machine.
    I am running out of OutOfMemory (Heap Space). I want to increase the Heap Size for my jvm.
    But can anybody please tell me what is the limit by which I can set the maximum size for heap?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Jenish

    Max allowed memory per process is 2 raised to the 64th power. What maximum memory you can set depends on the memory available
    for your application. You may be able to set more than 8GB ram then it will use the swap space and it will slow down your application
    performance. So try different memory size and see which one works best for your application.

  • Maximum heap size of JVM

    hi,
    I need to set the maximum heap size of the JVM. I know that I can do
    it for a single run by saying:
    java -Xmx75M example.class
    But how do I make the JVM use this maximum heap size for all its
    runs, without specifying '-Xmx75M' in every run.
    I need this because I am using my system as a server for JSP web
    site. For that site if a very simple query is given such as 'a' in title, as many as 6000
    records as retrieved from my Filemaker Databases and the java
    ResultSet object is not able to handle those records. The system is
    then throwing an exception and error message 'Host not found' is
    sent back to the client's browser. As far as I know, Filemaker does
    not support 'LIMIT' keyword in queries.
    So please tell me how can I rectify that problem.
    Thanks in advance,

    hi,
    I tried setting TOMCAT_OPTS. The maximum I could go in my system is 1300M
    i.e. set TOMCAT_OPTS="-DXmx=1300m".
    Still I am having the problem that when some 5000 records are fetched from the database, the ResultSet object is not able to handle them. It is able to handle upto 2000 records. I am using windows2000, jdk1.3.2 and Filemaker Pro 5.0 databases.
    I tried to set the maximum number of records that can be retrieved to 2000 so that the problem will be solved. But I am not able to set that as well. I did:
    Class.forName("com.fmi.jdbc.JdbcDriver").newInstance();
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("standard statement");
    PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("select id, pubyear, Checkedoutby, >>callnumber from mprrc_materials");
    pstmt.setFetchSize(2000);
    ResultSet rs3 = pstmt.executeQuery();Its giving the error:
    java.lang.AbstractMethodError at that setFetchSize() statement.
    I guess the JDBC driver provided by Filemaker Pro does not support that. So what can be done to solve the problem.
    Thanks,

  • JPDA Initial Heap Size

    Please tell me how to change the default initial and max heap size for JPDA / debugee programs.
    The typical non-standard options do not seem to work -
    -Xms128m -Xmx256m
    I am also using the following options -
    -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=8000
    with JDK 5 (build 1.5.0_06-b05) and NB 5 (200601251500)

    You may want to post this question on NetBeans forums (http://www.netbeans.org/community/lists/top.html) especially [email protected] (http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=nbusers), where the debugger experts are...
    btw, have you tried '-J-Dnetbeans.debugger.jpda.transport=dt_shmem' startup option?
    According to http://www.netbeans.org/kb/41/using-netbeans/configuring.html#performance_switches:
    Force the IDE to use the shared memory connection when starting a debugging session with the Debug >Start command. This parameter has no effect when you attach the debugger to an already running process.
    This may use the -X parameters passed to ide itself...

  • Increasing heap size of JVM

    how to increasing Java virtual machine ? Heap size
    can any one write me a program of tell me some idea.

    Sun's API+documentation is also a good place to start:
    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/
    From there you get to the manual page for java.exe:
    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html
    Read the entries of -Xms and -Xmx. For examble:
    java -Xms256m -Xmx512m MyClassThis starts the memory allocation pool with 256 megabytes and gives it
    a maximum of 512 megabytes. If the numbers are two big for the JVM to
    handle, it will fail immediately with a message to that effect.

  • How to reduce heap size in jvm 1.3.1 ??

    Is it possible to force GC to reduce heap size ???
    My application uses large maps and after loading one memory allocation looks like this:
    [GC 92088K->84997K(105656K)]
    If map is not needed I remove it and run Full GC.
    Memory is dealocated but the heap size remains the same:
    [GC 10088K->8499K(105656K), 0.0026571 secs]
    Is any way to reduce it ??? I tried to use incremental GC, it worked in desired way but it is to slow.

    Hi,
    Did you try to set java min and max to different sizes?
    Then you still need a full GC to reduce the heap
    because only the full GC compacts memory.
    For IBM JRE you will need this to compact anyway.
    In general applications perform better with heapmin=max.
    -Xmx<size> set maximum Java heap size. example: -Xmx64m
    -Xmn<size> set new generation Java heap size. example: -Xmn64m
    Different size make it compacter but are more expensive(time)
    Do you run Full GC as system.gc()?
    I would never do this.
    Let the JRE take care of this.
    Number 1 GC rule is avoid it.

  • How to set  max-heap-size outside the jnlp file?

    Due to bug_id=6631056 It may not be possible to specify max-heap-size within

    Are there other possibilities to specify this Jvm parameter?
    In the ControlPanel there is the possibility to specify Xmx for applets but not for jnlp.
    I have tried to add properties like
    "deployment.javaws.jre.0.args=Xmx\=128M" without success
