Just applied some maintenance to Java. In OMVS
$ /usr/lpp/java/J8.0_64/bin/java -version JVMJ9VM015W Initialization error for library j9gc29(2): Failed to instantiate compressed references metadata; 200M requested Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. $ At first I thought it was my ASSIZE in OMVS was too small. It was the default of 200M. So I set it to 1G *setomvs maxassize=1073741824* When I tried java again I get the same results. The ASSIZEMAX parameter in my OMVS profile is set to NONE, so I should be useing the system MAXASSIZE.
