Hello ,

We are evaluating DBSolo and need assistance bypassing the "GC Overhead Limit Exceeded" error. I see some previous posts to increase the Java Heap size. Please assist on how to achieve this. Do I need to install a Separate JDK . ? What's the navigation to adjust the heap size, is it from the tool or JDK?

Regards,

Tony

You can increase the heap size by starting DB Solo on the command line as follows

dbsolo.exe -J-Xmx4096m

where 4096 is the heap size you want to increase to (in megabytes).

On Linux you can modify the dbsolo.sh file and pass in this argument (change value to match your hardware) where java is executed
