Identity Insight 8.1 Fix pack 1 Upgrade gives "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" Exception and Core Dump


Technote (troubleshooting)


Problem(Abstract)

During the 8.1 Fix pack 1 installation for Identity Insight, users may get an installation core dump during the upgrade along with a "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" Exception.

Three core files will also be produced:
heapdump.*.phd
javacore.*.txt
Snap.*.trc
(the * are date/time markers, and will be different with each one)

The files may appear in the /tmp/install.dir.* (* is a random number)

Here is typical screen output when experiencing the problem:

Symptom

"java/lang/OutOfMemoryError" along with 3 core dump files will be produced:

heapdump.*.phd

javacore.*.txt

Snap.*.trc

Cause

The size of the .com.zerog.registry.xml file located in the _uninst directory could be too large (3-4MB), causing the installation core dumps.

Resolving the problem

Check the size of the .com.zerog.registry.xml file located in the _uninst directory. If it is very large (3-4MB), then rename the _uninst directory and run the Installer again. Rename the _uninst directory and run the Installer again.
