How to change java.io.tmpdir in system properties

Avatar

Level 4

Hello Everypne,

In order to change the java.io.tmpdir to 'C:\Adobe\AEM\Author\cq-temp', I changed like the below that  in C:\Adobe\AEM\Author\crx-quickstart\bin\start.bat

::* -------------------

::* Default JVM options

::* -------------------

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=-server

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -Djava.awt.headless=true

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -Xms8192m

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -Xmx8192m

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:NewRatio=1

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=15

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:ConcGCThreads=4

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Adobe\AEM\Author\cq-temp

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:HeapDumpPath=C:\Adobe\AEM\Author\cq-temp

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -Doak.queryLimitInMemory=500000

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -Doak.queryLimitReads=100000

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -Dupdate.limit=250000

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -Doak.fastQuerySize=true

But it doesn't  change.

My environment is the following :

-AEM 6.3

-Windows 10

-Java 1.8.1

Can you help me with mine?

Chung Yong.

When I upload the package file, java.lang.OutOfMemoryError : Java heap space happens.

I want to fix java.lang.OutOfMemoryError : Java heap space.

You may need to increase heap memory

e.g.

-Xmx

The flag Xmx specifies the maximum memory allocation pool for a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), while Xms specifies the initial memory allocation pool. A common use for these flags is when you encounter a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError.

-Xms        set initial Java heap size

-Xmx        set maximum Java heap size

-Xss        set java thread stack size

Have you restarted your instance?

"GC overhead limit excessed" means that you ran out of heap memory, not disk memory :-)

I have imported package1.zip successfully in Package Manager.

but we could not import contenct2.zip because of GC overhead limit exceeded

--------------------------------------------

package1.zip       : 20 MB

cotent2.zip          : 723 MB

Here is my JVM options.

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=-server

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -Djava.awt.headless=true

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:NewRatio=1

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:+UseParallelGC

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:+UseParallelOldGC

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -Xms8192m

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -Xmx8192m

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:PermSize=256m

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Adobe\AEM\Author\cq-temp

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -XX:HeapDumpPath=C:\Adobe\AEM\Author\cq-temp

set CQ_JVM_OPTS=%CQ_JVM_OPTS% -Djackrabbit.maxQueuedEvents=1000000

Do you have another instance to test with. As Joerg as pointed out, looks like memory issue with your server.

Avatar

Level 4

My friend has the same environment with me.

-AEM 6.3

-Windows 10

-RAM 8 GM.

-Java 1.8.1

he has the same error(GC overhead limit exceeded)  with me.

Do we have to replace the ram size from 8 G to 16 G in order to fix the memory issue ?

Avatar

Level 10

that would be a good way to start. 8 GB of Ram is not a lot of RAM for an enterprise server. However 8 is within specification of AEM Technical Requirements

Employee Advisor

Adding more RAM to the machine itself does not solve the problem in the first place, you need to give the JVM more heap. In my local development environments I always used -Xmx1G and it worked flawlessly.

What kind of package do you install?

This is my CQ_JVM_OPTS.

CQ_JVM_OPTS='-server -Xms4096m -Xmx4096m  -Xss1024k  -XX:MaxPermSize=512m  -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Adobe\AEM\Author\cq-temp'

When I upload cotent2.zip(723 MB) into Package Manager,  GC overhead limit exceeded happens.

This is my system.

In case if you are not starting the instance using <crx-quickstart>\bin\start.bat,  please do. It seems you are starting by double-clicking on the jar file.

Thanks

Yes, I was starting by double-clicking on the jar file.

Can you explain how to run start.bat in command.

I referenced the following url.

Command Line Start and Stop

But I can not run start.bat

In Windows explorer, just execute the start.bat by double clicking it. I assume java is set on the path environment variable already[1].

It would launch the AEM instance in new CMD shell as follows :

Our Cust Care team suggested:

There is a powershell script they can run on their windows environment to capture thread dumps and windows process information (similar to top)

https://github.com/cqsupport/jstackSeries.sh/blob/master/jstackSeries_powershell.ps1

CPU utilization would be high here as GC would be throttling the instance

That -xss JVM flag seems … out of place.  It limits the thread stack to 1 MB which is tiny .

That MaxPermSize flag is also useless if they are on Java8.

I have already added JAVA_HOME in Environment Varialble for System.

But I can not start start.bat in Windows PowerShell too.

You could be facing a bug of some sort. Customer care and AEM community members have attempted to answer this. If you are still facing issues, i recommend opening a support ticket so our cust care team can investigate this and get to the bottom of what is happening.

I fixed the error.

CQ_JVM_OPTS In start.bat changed like the below that.

if not defined CQ_JVM_OPTS set CQ_JVM_OPTS=-Xms8192m -Xmx8192m -Xss1024k -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Adobe\AEM\Author\cq-temp

Thank you.
