Out of memory error

If the Document Studio or the Launcher applications time out with an out-of-memory error, you can adjust the Java heap parameters in the product configuration files to improve performance.

Before you begin

Check your system hardware requirements to confirm that your system can accommodate the increase in the Java heap size.

About this task

The default value for the heap size is 1 GB. Most systems today can handle this value; however, if you are seeing the out of memory error, you can increase this value up to 1.5 GB.

Procedure

  1. Increase the Java heap size for the Document Studio application.
    1. Open the rpe-studio.ini configuration file with a text editor. The default location for the file is %RPE_HOME%/studio/rpe-studio.ini.
    2. Locate the Java heap setting: -Xmx1024m
    3. Increase the value. Check Sizing the Java heap for information on selecting a value. On most systems, 1500 MB is the maximum value. Example: -Xmx1280m
    4. Save and close the file.
  2. Increase the Java heap size for the Launcher application.
    1. Open the rpe-launcher.ini configuration file with a text editor. The default location for the file is %RPE_HOME%/studio/rpe-studio.ini.
    2. Locate the Java heap setting: -Xmx1024m
    3. Increase the value. Check Sizing the Java heap for information on selecting a value. On most systems, 1500 MB is the maximum value. Example: -Xmx1280m
