JVM GC Parameter

For BEA WebLogic Server 8.1 SP4, to avoid the java.lang.OutofMemoryError reported by the WebLogic JVM 1.4.2_05, add the following JVM GC (garbage collection) parameter in the startWebLogic.sh JAVA_OPTIONS:

-XX:-CMSParallelRemarkEnabled

Set this parameter in addition to the other heap size and GC parameters that have been added for JVM 1.4.2 and 1.5.0 for Application Server 8.1 and Web Server 6.1.

For example, if Access Manager is installed in the default user_projects location (/usr/local/bea/user_projects/domains/mydomain/startWebLogic.sh):

JAVA_OPTIONS="-XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+UseParNewGC
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled
-XX:+UseCMSCompactAtFullCollection -XX:CMSFullGCsBeforeCompaction=0
-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:-CMSParallelRemarkEnabled
-XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=0 -XX:+PrintClassHistogram
-XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps
-Xloggc:/usr/local/bea/user_projects/domains/mydomain/myserver/gc.log"
