RPE-01008 & RPE-01009 during Process flows execution

Question

Hi,
I run a daily process to refresh my warehouse. This process is made up of a fairly large process flow package that calls up to 40 processes. I often get the RPE-01008 & RPE-01009 errors. Like I was advised previously, I checked the <OWB_HOME>log directory and got the following extract:

I see it is an out of memory error. Please how do you suggest we handle this error?
I will really appreciate as prompt answer as it is impacting on timelines.
Thank you.

Answer 1

I see the out of memory error which suggests that the runtime service is running out of memory. You can try to increase the memory allocated to the RTS.
To stop/start the runtime services manually, please execute stop_service.sql or start_service.sql from <OWB HOME>\owb\rtp\sql directory. You must run this from the runtime repository DB user. To check the status of the runtime service, please use the service_doctor.sql script in the same directory.
To increase the runtime memory, first stop the service by running stop_service.sql from the runtime repository schema, then editing the file <OWB HOME>\owb\bin\win32\run_service.bat (for Windows systems) or <OWB HOME>/owb/bin\win32/run_service.sh for unix systems. In this file, please change the parameters at the bottom. Instead of:
${JAVAEXE} -Xms64M -Xmx256
put
${JAVAEXE} -Xms256M -Xmx1024
or as much as the platform memory allows.
