Setting the JVM

If you have several mappings deployed, you might encounter this error message:

java.io.IOException: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

When this happens, increase the default JVM setting to 512MB. Use this procedure to set the MaxPermSize property.

If EC runs on multiple hosts, repeat this procedure for every EC host.

  1. Access the Grid Properties page.

    Select the Grid where EC Application runs, right-click and select Configuration Manager.

  2. Click the Grid Properties link. The view shows a list of Grid Properties.
  3. Select and expand the view of Misc. Node Properties.
  4. Click the Generic JVM Commands link.
  5. Select an EC Application Server name to use for this configuration.
  6. Optionally, select All for Display Complexity, if EC view is not already expanded.
  7. For CentralFileAccessNode Type, under the column Any Host, click the <not set> link.

    This link is displayed only if you have not set the MaxPermSize.

    If MaxPermSize is already set, the <Appends 1 Entry> link is displayed.

  8. On the Edit Property window, click +Add new line.
  9. Specify this setting:

    -XX:MaxPermSize=512M.

  10. Click Save to return to the Grid Management Pages view.
  11. Click the save icon on the bar at the top of the page to commit the changes.
