Java Heap Space error in CMS Collector for BODS

dataservices metadata reports

I was running the metadata collector against our BOE environment, and it ran for a while, and eventually died with messages like this:


WebI document [IAT installed base research]. Java heap space
WebI document [IAT installed base research]. Collection failed. Correct errors indicated in the log and rerun the integrator.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Data Services\ext\cmsCollector

I am running the collector from my desktop PC, which has BODS, BOE Designer/deski and the BOE SDK installed on it. (We don’t have a single server with all of these components installed in the same place, at the moment.) Normally this works fine.

How do I increase the heap space available for this process?

thanks.

if you are running the Metadata Integrator from BOE CMS, then Metadata Integrator is added as Program Object in CMS, check the properties/command that is getting executed for this program object, by default -Xms128m -Xmx512m are passed as memory args, change these values to -Xms256m -Xmx1024m

if you are directly running the cmsCollector.cmd script from %LINK_DIR%\ext\cmsCollector then pass the arguments to this script from the command line

cmsCollector.cmd “Metadata Integrator_1” -Xms256m -Xmx1024m

That worked - thanks.
