Re: [WDSCI-L] Help! JVM Terminated. Exit code=128

[Eric Simpson <esimpson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Charles,

Don Yantzi posted steps to try and avoid some JVM crashes.  I will include
the content here.  Please give it a try.
==============================
We have recently linked a lot of these JVM crashes to a defect in the IBM
Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that runs the workbench.  The bad news is that
we do not yet have a fix ready to ship for this problem, but the good news
is that there is an easy workaround.

WDSc actually ships with 2 IBM JVM's that can be used to run the workbench.
By default a high performance JVM called J9 is used, this is the JVM that
has the defect.  Following the instructions below you can switch to using
just the standard JVM as opposed to the J9 JVM.  You may notice a slight
decrease in performance using the standard JVM, but as soon as we get the
fix out you can then switch back to J9.  Here are the instructions:

Note:  for others on the list that are not experiencing these crashes there
is no reason to switch to the standard JVM.

Steps to disable J9:

1.- Locate the file wdsc.ini.  One way to find the directory is by right
clicking on the WDSC
icon in Start -> Programs, and selecting Properties.  The default directory
for this is:

C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere Studio\Application Developer\v5.1 (or
v5.1.2)

2.- Make a backup copy of it.
3.- Edit wdsc.ini to remove the line
             VMArgs=-Xj9

Twice today I've gotten a JVM Terminated. Exit Code=128.

Here is the rest of the most recent message:
C:\Program Files\IBM\Websphere Studio\Site
Developer\v5.1.2\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe
-Xj9
-cp C:\Program Files\IBM\Websphere Studio\Site
Developer\v5.1.2\eclipse\startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
-os Win32
-ws Win32
-arch x86
-showsplash C:\Program Files\IBM\Websphere Studio\Site
Developer\v5.1.2\eclipse\eclipse.exe -showsplash 600 Files\IBM\Websphere
Studio\Site Developer\v5.1.2\.\eclipse\eclipse.exe
-data C:\Documents and Settings\cwilt\My Documents\IBM\wdsc\workspace
-feature com.ibm.wdsclient

Both times I've lost all recent changes to the source members I was editing
via RSE.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Would change the workbench save interval from 5min to 1min help prevent me
from losing source?

Thanks,
Charles
