Question & Answer
Question
Why am I unable to import a large ARXML file into IBM Rhapsody?
Cause
File size is too large; approximately 100 MB or larger.
Answer
It is possible you reached the system limit that allows for the file to be imported. We cannot tell where exactly that limit line exists because it depends on the memory usage of the process when the import started. The same file size can succeed or fail depending on current memory usage.
There are a couple of things that can be done to possibly resolve this issue:
- Change from the 32-bit to the 64-bit version of Rhapsody.
- Modify the rhapsody.ini under [JVM] section and increase the JVM max heap size from:
MaxHeap=-Xmx2048m
to
MaxHeap=-Xmx3072m
If the MaxHeap is not there, add it under the JVM section.
