Configuring Virtual Memory

Some operations, such as the export of large catalog databases or a very complex cube deployment, may push the virtual memory limits of the Essbase Studio Console. Use the following procedure to modify the virtual memory setting.

  To configure the virtual memory of Essbase Studio Console:

  1. Open EssbaseStudio.ini, in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/Essbase/EssbaseStudio/Console.

    By default, the EssbaseStudio.ini file contains these two lines:

    -vmargs
-Xmx1024m

    The second line contains the virtual memory setting. By default, virtual memory is set for 1024 MB.

  2. Increase memory by increasing the virtual memory setting; for example:

    -Xmx1536m

    The example above specifies 1536 MB of virtual memory.

  3. Save the modified EssbaseStudio.ini file.

  4. Restart the Essbase Studio Console.
