SAPINST running out of memory in the middle of import process

[venu_katamneni]

Hi,

We are running import process in the target systems as part of the unicode conversion. The import had been running for almost 50+ hours when suddenly the SAPINST GUI stopped with the following error. Did some body encounter this? If so, could you please respond? Thanks in advance..

I had the same error just a few days ago when doing an import. The actual import is finished, now the "object checker" tries to check if all packages are correct.

What you can do is:

- stop sapinst

- open keydb.xml in an editor

- search for "migcheck.jar"

- changet all entries with "migcheck.jar" and "showversion" to

...."showversion", "-Xmx1024"....

(make sure you don't delete parenthesis)

Restart sapinst and continue with old installation.

That error happens if the number of packages is huge.

Doehr ,

I met the same issue as you , i changed the control file as you told, but i met another issue.

the error message

WARNING 2009-09-25 05:59:53.805

Execution of the command "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_22-x64\bin\java.exe -classpath migcheck.jar -showversion -Xmx2048 com.sap.inst.migcheck.MigrationChecker -checkObjects -dbType ORA -tskDir "C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir\ERPEhP4\LM\COPY\ORA\SYSTEM\CENTRAL\AS-ABAP" -strDirs L:\export\ABAP\DATA -trace all" finished with return code 1. Output:

+_Incompatible initial and maximum heap sizes specified_+

i added another parameter "-Xms 1024" or "-Xms 2048" in the same items which we changed as you told me. for example:

var javaArgs = ;

but i met another error message

CJSlibModule::writeWarning_impl()

Too small initial heap

I think maybe it is a SAP bug for SAPERP 6.0 EHP4 system copy data load . Could you give me some suggestion ? Thanks!

Add an "M" behind the value - so "-Xmx2048M" and delete the -Xms parameter.

if it is UNIX then Check ulimit of SIDADM & ORASID and root.

Hi all,

Even i got the same issue while doing a system copy for EHP4 system and your thread was helped me to fix the issue

The actions performed.

1. In the sapinst_dir directory found the control.xml file.

2. Find with the hint word migcheck.jar

It will be like the below in 3 places (In my case)

example : classpath:["migcheck.jar"], mainclass:"com.sap.inst.migcheck.MigrationChecker", jdkArgs:["-showversion" ]

Edited the same as like below : , "-Xmx1024m"] };

classpath:["migcheck.jar"], mainclass:"com.sap.inst.migcheck.MigrationChecker", jdkArgs:["-showversion" , "-Xmx1024m"] };

The installation went fine after doing the changes

Hi all,

I solve the problem editing the file control.xml.

Searching for migcheck.jar

Changing the 2 sections on control.xml file.

From jdkArgs:["-showversion" to jdkArgs:["-showversion", "-Xmx2048M"] };

Thanks a lot guys.

The solution also worked for me ( ERP 6.0 EHP4 installation with MaxDB on Windows Server 2008 R2 ).

[florin_radulea]

Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions who helped me to fix the issue and move forward with my installation.

What I did was the following:

1. Searched after "migcheck.jar"

2. I found the following entry:

var javaArgs = ;

3. Edited as follow:

var javaArgs = ;

Hi all,

This solution works for me:-

Change control.xml file in the below location (there are in 2 locations, I changed both, since i am not sure which one is used):-

C:\INSTALLATION_FILES\INST_MASTER\51036888_BS2008_Install_Master_Win-x64\IM_WINDOWS_X86_64\NW701\WEBAS\IND

And

C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir\ERPEhP4\LM\COPY\ADA\SYSTEM\CENTRAL\AS-ABAP

Find for migcheck.jar in control.xml file (you will find this at 2 locations in the file)

Add this ( "-Xmx1024m" after showversion, as below)!!

var javaArgs = { classpath:["migcheck.jar"], mainclass:"com.sap.inst.migcheck.MigrationChecker", jdkArgs:["-showversion" , "-Xmx1024m"] };

Then restart sapinst with old option, then installation should continue!!
