Oxygen 10.3 runs out of memory

Post by crult »

Hello,

i have this problem: When i apply a XSLT scenario, the trasformation begins but after a certain amount of time the software stops itself saying that there's not enough memory (it is a oxygen's message, not by the system). It is due to the large number of files that i transform at once? Thank you.

I tried also with a smaller folder but the software always stops after copying 350-380 files in the target folder. I tried to an another pc but same result.

Hi,

From your previous posts on the forum I understand you are running Oxygen in Windows XP. In this case edit the oxygen.vmoptions from the Oxygen installation folder and adjust the -Xmx parameter.

If its value is lower than 512m increase it to -Xmx512m or even -Xmx640m.
If it is -Xmx700m and you have enough physical memory(2GB or more) you can increase it to -Xmx1024m or -Xmx1500m. I don't recommended going above 1500m as the JVM will not be able to allocate so much memory.

Let me know if this resolves the problem.

Regards,
Adrian

Yes i'm running Oxygen in Windows Xp. I've 1 gb of ram in this system and i tried the -Xmx640m. That goes better (i have more results now) but the problem remains, i understand that it's normal with the little amount of my ram...I wanted to try this in an another pc with 2gb of ram and use -Xmx1500m but there's another problem. This pc runs windows vista and i can't install oxygen because something is going wrong with java there. I tried to install the lastest version but the installer of oxygen can'y continue saying something for java. Have you any idea? Thank you very much!

Hi,

For the installation, if all else fails you can download and unpack the All platforms distribution(tar.gz):
http://www.oxygenxml.com/software_archive.html
Look for All (Linux, Unix,etc.) kit.
It needs a JVM installed on the machine and you can launch it with the command line launcher: oxygen.bat

To change the amount of memory edit the launcher(oxygen.bat) and look for the -Xmx argument

If you don't mind, can you provide a screenshot of the installer error and maybe the install log. The log file is created in Temp(C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp) and has the prefix i4j_nlog.
If possible send them to support@oxygenxml.com
Also, did you install any Windows Vista updates recently on that machine?

Regards,
Adrian

I don't know much for the updates because that's a friend's machine not mine. Possibly i think that it's always up to date. I'll have the opportunity to try with the all-in-one distribution toomorrow or on Sunday and i'l give you some information. Thank you very much for the support so far. Have a nice day!
