PH21412: RTCP HAS INSUFFICIENT JAVA HEAP MEMORY ALLOCATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• On Linux installations of IBM Rational Test Control Panel
  (RTCP), the Java heap size is not specified in the start script.
  Java will use the default allocation as defined by the system
  memory.
  This can result in RTCP running out of memory and crashing.
  
  This problem does not occur on Windows systems.
  
  WORKAROUND:
  
  The workaround is to allocate up to 2GB of memory.
  
  1. Edit <RTCP install>/bin/setenv.sh.
      Typically: /opt/IBM/RationalTestControlPanel/bin/setenv.sh
  
      Append the following lines:
         JVM_ARGS=-Xmx2048m
         export JVM_ARGS
  
  2. Restart RTCP
  
  3. Use ps -ef to verify that the java process has -Xmx2048m as a
  parameter

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Linux users of IBM Rational Test Control Panel (RTCP)        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * The start script for RTCP did not have a JVM heap allocation *
  * parameter.                                                   *
  * This could result in the upper limit for memory being too    *
  * small, causing RTCP to exit.                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Upgrade to IBM Rational Test Control Panel version 10.0.2.1  *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• Upgrade to IBM Rational Test Control Panel version 10.0.2.1
  Java heap size is set to 2048MB
