SAS 9.4 M6 | Installation, java OutOfMemoryError

[MariaD]

Hi, 

I'm installing SAS 9.4 M6 (ECL solution) on a Linux server (a new dedicated server, we have 64GB of memory available). In the middle of the installation (not configuration), we have the following error:

Expection in thread "Thread-379" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead

After receiving this error for the first time, we start a new installation setting the following java options:

./setup.sh -console -javaoptions "-Xms512M -Xmx7168M Xss512M -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -XX:+UseCompressedOops -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:NewRatio=8 -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:+UseTLAB"

We changes the parameters several times but the error continues, always in the same step.

Any idea?

Regards,

Hi @SimonDawson ,

We started the installation with 55 GB of free memory. After a while, the process consumes 30 GB and "freeze" until the error occurs. We tested in a same machine with 128 GB of free memory and the behaivour was the same.

The only way we find to continue, until now, was make the installation by parts. That means, if we had 100 products to install, at first we select only the first 30. After this attempt finished, we installed the next 30 products and go on. 

Regards,
