Error description
On Linux installations of IBM Rational Test Control Panel (RTCP), the Java heap size is not specified in the start script. Java will use the default allocation as defined by the system memory. This can result in RTCP running out of memory and crashing. This problem does not occur on Windows systems. WORKAROUND: The workaround is to allocate up to 2GB of memory. 1. Edit <RTCP install>/bin/setenv.sh. Typically: /opt/IBM/RationalTestControlPanel/bin/setenv.sh Append the following lines: JVM_ARGS=-Xmx2048m export JVM_ARGS 2. Restart RTCP 3. Use ps -ef to verify that the java process has -Xmx2048m as a parameter
