Error description
WebSphere Application Server does not log, at startup, the default maximum heap size of the server JVM when starting a server process.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The automatically-calculated maximum * * heap * * size of the server JVM is not logged * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When a user does not specify a maximum heap size or a -Xmx argument for the a WAS 9 server JVM, the server launcher calculates and uses a default value (25% of the system's physical RAM, up to 4GB). This calculation and its result are not logged without enabling trace of the server start process, so that data is unavailable in a server's log set without taking additional steps (such as enabling trace and restarting the server, or forcing javacores). This can prolong the diagnostic process for a case involving memory analysis, and it can be confusing for users who are not aware of how their maximum heap size is set, and to what value.
Problem conclusion
Message ADML0069I was added to startServer.log in instances where the maximum heap size is unspecified. The message states that the JVM maximum heap size was automatically calculated and notes the calculated value and corresponding -Xmx argument. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.0.5.15. For more information, see 'Recommended Updates for WebSphere Application Server': https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/715553
