BIRT Out of Memory Exception

aasmelash@mta.maryland.gov

<p>I am getting a out of memory exception in BIRT designer when I run a large amount of data (half million records). I checked using the Windows Task Manager and the maximum memory usage is around 60%. Therefore, I concluded that it is not hardware issue. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I read on the internet that says that changing the XXMaxPermSize setting the ini file might help. Can anyone tell me more about this?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>You're close, but you'll want to change the -Xmx setting in eclipse.ini, located in <Install Location>/BDPro/eclipse/</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you have a 32bit installation of the designer, the maximum you'll be able to do is 2048m, otherwise you can up it to any value that is reasonable for the amount of RAM you have available on your system.</p>

<p>If upping it still causes you to run out of memory, the most likely problem is that their is just too much data and you'll need to schedule the job on the server instead of running transiently from the designer.</p>
