Guillaume, I am not sure if my replies are making it to the list, as I didn't get a confirmation back on a couple of my responses so I've CC'ed you my response as well.
When you choose a max size for a java process (-Xmx1536m in your case), you must make sure that you have enough 'available free memory' to run it up to that much, failing which you would get simimar errors. A good practice is not to have your max size to over 60% or 70% of the total available free memory, before your java process is started. That gives your system at least 30% to 40% headroom to work with. You might want to run a report on the memory consumption of your client, before the dev studio is launched before you determine the best max size you can allocate to DevStudio..

If my devstudio.ini is: -vmargs -Xms64m -Xmx1280m I can launch DevStudio, but if I set it to: -vmargs -Xms64m -Xmx1536m an error message pops up and the DevStudo does no even launch. I attached the error message. Where you able to change the maximum to 1536? BTW, I am using DevStudio 7.5 patch 1 thanks Guillaume -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) on behalf of Lyle Taylor Sent: Mon 06/15/09 2:09 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Anybody able to export all ITSM 7.x definitions with DevStudio? Have you tried adjusting the JVM options for DevStudio to increase the amount of heap allocated to it? I had to do this to work around an error I was getting a while back. Go to the installation directory for DevStudio (maybe C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem\DeveloperStudio) and open devstudio.ini. Change the -Xmx512m line to something more like -Xmx1536m. Lyle From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Guillaume Rheault Sent: Monday, June 15, 2009 12:03 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Anybody able to export all ITSM 7.x definitions with DevStudio? ** This is very frustrating and something that I hoped it was going to be addressed in DevStudio. I cannot export all the ITSM 7.5 definitions with DevStudio in one export operation. I cannot even export all the forms in one operation with DevStudio, I get an out of memory error, that I attached. My PC has 4 GBs of memory with 8 processors, so it's definitely not a resource issue on my side, it's probably the DevStudio JRE that ran out of memory. I really hate it not to be able to do a full definitions export in one shot: you have to split the export in multiple chunks, which makes the management of the def files much harder, it more much more time consuming because of you have to monitor the exports and initiate a new one once the previous completed, etc. When is BMC going to fully address and correct this?? It seems to me the backup of the application code at the application level is ESSENTIAL. I was really hoping that DevStudio would fix this very significant problem, but it it did not happen. How can you do effective release management and application version control if you cannot even efficiently and effectively export the definitions?? For what it's worth, we have ITSM 7.5.1, where the app server is running on Windows 2003 and the database is remote, it's 10gR2 running on Solaris 10. My PC has Windows XP. Has anybody been successful in exporting all the defs of ITSM 7.5 in one export operation? -Guillaume _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
