How To Identify - Determine The Maximum JVM Heap Size - My Notes

The document describes how to determine the maximum Java Virtual Machine (JVM) heap size that can be allocated for Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4j) components in Oracle Application Server Release 12 (R12) and Oracle Application Server 10g (10gAS). It recommends starting with a high heap size value like 4096 megabytes (4GB) with the java -mx command and reducing the value until the JVM starts successfully, which identifies the maximum supported heap size for that system. As an example, the author's system only supported a maximum of 3072 megabytes (3GB) for the JVM heap.

How To Identify/Determine The Maximum JVM Heap Size For OC4j Components In R12
/ 10gAS

Below command will help you to identify the maximum memory heap size than can be allocated to a JVM
process.

java -mx[value]m -version

Start with a higher value like 4G or higher and slowly cut down to the maximum allowed value.

Sample

$ java -mx4096m -version

Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx4096m


The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size.
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

As you can see my system cant support 4Gig for a JVM.

Now lets reduce to a lesser value, viz., 3Gig

$ java -mx3072m -version


java version 1.5.0.04
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0.04-_27_jul_2006_10_52)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0.04 jinteg:07.27.06-16:18 IA64, mixed mode)

Now its clear that the maximum allowed value is 3gig.

cheers,

[] First, you need to identify how much is the maximum heap size that you can set. Click here. []

Thnax for ur way to find out max JVM heap size.

Its a good start, but you can fine tune better if you want; for example, your next run should be java -mx3584m -version to see if you can run 3.5
gb. There comes a point where it is academic, but I think another .5gb might be useful if its available.
