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.

[] 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.
