i try to increase the java -Xmx and -Xms , i have try use the command to as
javaw -XX:+MaxPermSize=8192M
it show Error message of Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. A fatal exception has occured.Program will exit
And also try to add new Environment Variable for java as
Variable name =_JAVA_OPTIONS
Variable value = Xmx8192M
After set finish i try to use the command to check for the MaxheapSize it show "0".
While running your application you can set it like this :
java -XX:PermSize=8192m -XX:MaxPermSize=8192m -jar application.jar

Do we need to mandatory specify JVM heap memory arguments in bat file while calling .jar file?
For example:
start /b "" "jre7\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx1G -jar XYZ.jar
I have the scenario that in some machine when I explicitly specify the arguments(as above) then Java fatal exception is generated!
enter image description here
Error Message:
"Java virtual machine Launcher:
Error: Could not create Java virtual machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit."
But when I remove the arguments then no error is reported.
Please anyone let me know. Thank you.
Xmx is an optional argument that specifies the maximum heap size that can be used by Java. It is not required.
If you specify too large a number, you may get a fatal exception. If you don't specify an option, java chooses the max heap size. You can find the default value of this on linux by running 'java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version | grep MaxHeapSize'
You need to update the windows environment variables _JAVA_OPTIONS and set Xmx1024M there. Once done you can start your JVM just fine.
I want to alter (increase) java memory limit (JRE on windows pc).
I fount following commands everywhere:
-Xms set initial Java heap size
-Xmx set maximum Java heap size
for example -Xmx1024m.
But my Question is where! do I have to enter this command. Sorry for this beginner question. Normally I do not have any contact to java.
If you are using eclipse and try to run standalone java then use vm argument section in run configuration tab .For tomcat or app server in setenv script file put
set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=384m
for executable jar
java -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -jar FILENAME.jar
Those are Arguments for the Virtual Machine that you pass in the command line when you start the app
example:
in the console doing:
java -Xms256m -Xmx1024m HelloWorld
or if you are in eclipse (or any other ide)
I'm new in the Oracle world and I'm working with Oracle Identity Analytics (OIA). In the test environment everything is ok, but in production environment i'm getting an "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError", so when I checked the Xmx and Xms I saw that I had Xmx:512m and Xms:512m, that's why I'm trying to modify the Xmx value.
I want to modify the Xmx and Xms values so I wrote the following line in my PuTTY:
$ java -Xmx1024m
But the PuTTY shows me the following:
Usage: java [-options] class [args...] (to execute a class) or
java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...] (to execute a jar file)
where options include:...
Seems like I'm forgetting something after "Xmx1024m", but what? Well, now I know I'm forgetting Jar file, Class or App name but I have no idea how to get any of those things. I tried putting "$AdminServer" after "Xmx1024m" but it didn't work.
My Java version is 1.6.0_45 Oracle JRockit build R28 and the Operative Systems is Linux Server 6.5.
Regards!
You have to pass filepath to execute. Of course, you can run
java -Xmx1024m
but Java doesn't know what file should be executed
You will have to pass the program-name/filename/jar-name,whatever it is,with path for which you want to set/reset the java heap size.
e.g
java -Xms1024M -Xmx2048M -jar xi.jar
java -Xmx64m ${PROGRAM_NAME}
Hope this helps you.Or to help you better,could you please tell us what exactly is your scenario?
I am running the java program on windows server 2012, I want to set the JAVA_OPTS variable and use it, here is how I am doing it:
Open a command prompt in the bin of jdk where it is installed ,and executing the following command :
$set JAVA_OPTS = “-Xdebug , server=y”
Then in the next line in the command prompt only , when I try to run
$java $JAVA_OPTS –cp .Server
(where Server is the name of the java program), I get an error saying that:
Could not find or load assembly $JAVA_OPTS. Please let me know what mistake I am doing here. I am not using IDE for this purpose.
on windows you have to set the variable like:
set JAVA_OPTS = “-Xdebug , server=y”
and use it this way
java %JAVA_OPTS% –cp .Server
Windows uses "%JAVA_OPTS% rather than "$JAVA_OPTS" which is UNIX/LINUX.
You can check if the environment is updated with JAVA_OPTS by echoing that:
echo %JAVA_OPTS%.
I run command in window machine
java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version | findstr /i "HeapSize PermSize ThreadStackSize
and got below value for MaxHeapSize
2118123520
which is 2020MB however, when I call Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory() , it gives me 259522560 only i.e. 247MB .
Can anyone please suggest why I'm getting this mismatch ?
As per your last comment
I'm using eclipse IDE and didn't change any setting . do you know how to change maximum heap size in eclipse IDE ?
Set the VM arguments found under Run configuration.
VM arguments are typically values that change the behaviour of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). For example, the -Xmx256M argument allows the Java heap to grow to 256MB.
For more info have a look at Eclipse launching program and VM arguments
Can anyone please suggest why I'm getting this mismatch ?
The Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory() call is returning the maximum heap size for the current JVM. This is determined by either the -Xmx command line option (e.g. for the java command) or a platform specific default.
The command you are running is giving the maximum allowed value for the -Xmx commandline option on your platform.
Clearly these are different things. Furthermore, the numbers are usually different.
