Hi Tom,

You need to allocate more memory to Java, as indicated at the bottom of your message:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

I copy this to our developer list (which you should also subscribe to).

You should create an environment variable with the name JAVA_OPTS. Right click on My Computer, select Properties, and then the Advanced tab. Then Environment Variables and New.

The content of it could be like the following, or the figures could be even higher if you have a lot of RAM:

-Xmx768m -Xms768m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=768m

This error may not necessarily be solved through allocating more PermSize or Heap space
You should disable the GC Overtime feature as mentioned here: http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/hotspot/gc/gc_tuning_6.html#par_gc.oom

Or Ideally, the new G1 garbage collector which was made to run neatly on parallel processors should solve this issue. JDK6u14 or JRE6u14 has G1 included… Please try if it solves the issue… try to reproduce it and if its solved then we can document it on the wiki and give Sun, a pat on its back!!

Hi Tom,

You need to allocate more memory to Java, as indicated at the bottom of your message:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

I copy this to our developer list (which you should also subscribe to).

You should create an environment variable with the name JAVA_OPTS. Right click on My Computer, select Properties, and then the Advanced tab. Then Environment Variables and New.

The content of it could be like the following, or the figures could be even higher if you have a lot of RAM:

-Xmx768m -Xms768m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=768m

Thanks, Saptarshi.

So Tom, it seems to me that the Java that comes on our machines is 1.6 update 11 (you can type “java -version” in a command prompt to verify this). So you could try installing the latest update, as Saptarshi suggest.

And, you can also try adding “-XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit” to the JAVA_OPTS environment variable and restart the server.

This error may not necessarily be solved through allocating more PermSize or Heap space

You should disable the GC Overtime feature as mentioned here: http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/hotspot/gc/gc_tuning_6.html#par_gc.oom

Or Ideally, the new G1 garbage collector which was made to run neatly on parallel processors should solve this issue. JDK6u14 or JRE6u14 has G1 included… Please try if it solves the issue… try to reproduce it and if its solved then we can document it on the wiki and give Sun, a pat on its back!!

Hi Tom,

You need to allocate more memory to Java, as indicated at the bottom of your message:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

I copy this to our developer list (which you should also subscribe to).

You should create an environment variable with the name JAVA_OPTS. Right click on My Computer, select Properties, and then the Advanced tab. Then Environment Variables and New.

The content of it could be like the following, or the figures could be even higher if you have a lot of RAM:

-Xmx768m -Xms768m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=768m
