Problems with increasing Xmx

any update ??

Hi Ali,


Sorry for the delayed response.. This could be a limitation with the JRE and/or OS, which version are you using?

regards,

I am using windows 2003.
JRE 1.6.07-b06

Hi Ali,

ok.. I googled around and it seems that this is unfortunately the general limit for the JRE on this platform. If you need to use more memory you will either have to try another JRE (for example JRockit from BEA) or move to SUN hardware.. hmm..  are you running loadtests?

regards!

yes i am running load tests.

Hi Ole,
I download JRockit. How do I get soapUI to use this JRE ?

Thanks

Ali

Hi Ali,

you need to modify the soapuipro.bat file and replace the call to "java" with the corresponding jrockit exe file.. (not sure what it is named)..

Hi Ole,
I am having difficulty using the JRockit JRE.

So I tried to replace

set JAVA=..\jre\bin\java

with

set JAVA=C:\Program Files\Java\jrockit-R27.5.0-jre1.6.0_03\bin\java

I get the following error when I try to start soapUI.

C:\>cd "Program Files\eviware\soapUI-Pro-2.0.3\bin"

Hi,

hmm.. can you try restoring the orginal memory settings in soapuipro.bat to see if that changes anything?

Where did you find the JRockit download? (so I can download and try myself..)

All 32-bit Windows JRE's have this limitation.
The practical maxium is 1536 mb.

If you switch to a 64-bit windows then you can go higher.

An alternative is to use the technology from terracotta.org, to scale your in memory data up to terabyte sizes. Another alternative is to get a hardware box from azul systems, that will scale enormously.
