Error description

  • Running the TRIRIGA install script in order to upgrade (e.g.
from 3.3.2.3 to 3.4.2.1 or from 3.4.2.2 to 3.5) when WebSphere
is the application server can fail in some cases with an Out of
Memory error when 'set-soap-timeout' is run.

This problem can happen even though sufficient memory (e.g. 4GB)
was specified in the install/upgrade script and written to the
TRIRIGA build.properties file.

It would seem that before launching the ws_admin.sh script, the
TRIRIGA install scripts need to run something like 'export
JVM_EXTRA_CMD_ARGS="-Xms1G -Xmx2G"' in order to set the
Java heap size correctly. Without this, the Java heap used by
the install scripts seem to start with a 512MB heap size.

Local fix

  • Add the JVM_EXTRA_CMD_ARGS property to the was-ant.sh or .bat
(with the correct syntax) and run the was-ant from the command
line.

Problem summary

  • Websphere's script ws_ant default values were too small.

Problem conclusion

  • Resolved an issue with the installation of Tranditional
WebSphere where the default heap size of the ws_ant shell
script was too small.  The  JVM_EXTRA_CMD_ARGS needed to be set
to a higher number. This will be targeted to the 1h2016 mod
release.

Temporary fix
