Re: RE: More than 2GB heap with 64 bit JVM? -- JAVA400-L

Okay, semicolon is important. This works:
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_RPG_JAVA_PROPERTIES) VALUE('-Xmx4096M;')

Testing larger heaps now.

I had high hopes for this. I did the ADDENVVAR ENVVAR
(QIBM_RPG_JAVA_PROPERTIES) VALUE('-Xmx4096m), but anytime the JVM starts
up, it complains that -X is unrecognized. Still trying to find some kind
of example.

This could help you to setup the heap of JVM called from RPG.

Best regards.

We use SXSSF method whenever we can. In this case, we're pulling in a
template spreadsheet, so I couldn't find a good way to use SXSSF. I'm
also
not using the "java" command, so extentions like -XMX3G are a bit
foreign
to me. I'm implementing the JVM through RPG.

If possible rather than increasing the heap you might want to change
your
process to use the Streaming spreadsheet (SXSSF) functionality that
POI
provides. This will allow you to build much bigger spreadsheets
without
consuming so much memory.

[2]https://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/how-to.html#sxssf

If you still want to increase the max heap it would be done using the
-Xmx
parameter (e.g. Java -Xmx3g Hello)...when I specify -Xmx4g on Java 1.6
I
get an error that the value is too large.

Subject: More than 2GB heap with 64 bit JVM?

I have a certain application running using the JNI (more specifically,
RPG
calling Java Excel POI HSSF) to create a really large spreadsheet, and
its
running out of memory/heap. We're running a 64bit JVM. If I can
figure
out how to specify a larger maximum heap size, can I go beyond the
current
2GB limit? Is there a way to alter the maximum heap size for a job?
If
not by job, by default?
