If the Job Scheduler reports Java exceptions about You should increase the Java heap space if JobScheduler reports out of memory Java exceptions (java heap space) when executing non-Java orders then you must increase the Java heap space. The message in the log file looks like followthis:

 Com_set_error("Z-JAVA-105 Java exception java.lang.OutOfMemoryError("Java heap space"),

...

 method=spooler_process()Z []","Remote_module_instance_server::step)

There are two ways how to increase the available Java heap space. You can achieve this for individual jobs or you can apply the increment for all jobs.

Please note:

• If you increase the initial heap space (-Xms) for all jobs you could run into memory troubles if you are running to much Java tasks at one time.
• In most cases it is sufficient to apply just a maximum Java heap space with -Xmx.

You should descrease the Java heap space if the JVM crashes with this dump

# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.

# Possible reasons:
#   The system is out of physical RAM or swap space
#   In 32 bit mode, the process size limit was hit
# Possible solutions:
#   Reduce memory load on the system
#   Increase physical memory or swap space
#   Check if swap backing store is full
#   Use 64 bit Java on a 64 bit OS
#   Decrease Java heap size (-Xmx/-Xms)

Increment/Decrement for only one job using Java

If you want to increase the heap space for only one job you can do this by the job configuration, see http://www.sos-berlin.com/doc/en/scheduler.doc/xml/job.xml#attribute_java_options

 <job java_options = "-Xmx512m"/>

Increment/Decrement for all jobs using Java

You can increase the maximum Java heap space (set by the JobScheduler when starting the JVMset by the Job Scheduler when starting the Java VM) within the configuration file factory sos.ini, for example:

 [java] 
 options = -Xmx512m 

You can add more Java options. For example you can set the initial and maximum Java heap space with:

 [java] 
 options = -Xms128 -Xmx512m
