genReport OutOfMemoryError

I am trying to create PDF's using genReport.sh. The reportdesign files are generating charts and I can get some of them to run, but a few are failing on 'OutOfMemoryError'. I saw in other posts that the memory was specified on the JAVA_OPTS for Tomcat. We increased the memory in catalina.sh as follows, restarted Tomcat, and still get the error.

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms128M" "-Xmx1G

Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks!

Try setting perm gen space:
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms512M -Xmx2G -XX:PermSize=512M -XX:MaxPermSize=2G

Used the above options and still got the error: SEVERE: There is insufficient memory to execute this report.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

Here is the command I am running on an AIX server that is getting the error:

genReport.sh -f HTML -o mrr.html -p "StartTimestamp=2011-12-13 00:00:00" /tomcat/tomcat5.5/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/webapps/birt-viewer/AIX_Entitlement_Consumption.rptdesign

Any other suggestions?

I am a bit confused. If you are using the command line tool genReport why do you have the viewer deployed? If you set the java options in the catalina.bat/sh they will have no effect on the shell. You need to set those options in the shell.

You are correct. Sorry, I got myself confused as well! I had the ReportEngine installed under tomcat just like BirtViewer, but that was not necessary. I moved ReportEngine out to its own directory. In any case, the way our AIX admin resolved the out of memory error was by adding the memory option to the JAVACMD inside genReport.sh. It now looks like this:

$JAVACMD -cp "$BIRTCLASSPATH" -Xms128M -Xmx1G -DBIRT_HOME="$BIRT_HOME/ReportEngine" -Dorg.eclipse.datatools_workspacepath="$org_eclipse_datatools_workspacepath"
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.ReportRunner ${1+"$@}

Thanks for your help!
