asadmin> create-jvm-options -XX:+UseG1GC is invalid

[bernie1...@yahoo.com]

With payara server 5.192,

asadmin> create-jvm-options -XX:+UseG1GC

fails with

remote failure: JVM option +UseG1GC is invalid because it does not start with a '-'

This happens on RHEL 7.6 and OpenJDK 1.8.0_201 and on RHEL 6.10 with Oracle JDK 1.8.0_201.

How do I set the -XX:+UseG1GC JVM option?

[Matt Gill]

A colon is a separator in this command, so it must be escaped. Try:

create-jvm-options "-XX\:+UseG1GC"

Hope this helps,

Matt

That worked.  I had tried with the quotes and with escaping the colon but not both together.  Thanks,
