   PROBLEM:

  

   Teamcenter's 64 bit rich client release may run out of Java memory, which

   might impact performance or cause Teamcenter to fail. A modification to

   settings in the Teamcenter.ini in Portal Root is required to resolve this

   issue. Teamcenter.ini settings that work acceptably in the 32 bit Rich

   Client may need to be increased for the 64 bit client.

   REMEDY:

  

   This SFB discusses shows how to configure the Teamcenter rich client to

   increase Java memory when using Rich Client.

  

   Teamcenter Java

     

If your machine has enough physical memory, adjust the JVM heap size in the Teamcenter.ini file to a higher value, e.g. 1024Mb.  This will avoid running out of JVM memory.  This issue will be corrected in future versions of Teamcenter.

Update the Teamcenter.ini file within your install location with the changes below and then restart the Teamcenter client application.

  

      Change the following:

      -vm

      <path to Rich Client JRE>\portal\jre\bin

      -vmargs

      -Xmx512m

      -XX:MaxPermSize=128m

      -Xbootclasspath/... <-- full path not shown

  

      To:

      -vm

      <path to Rich Client JRE>\portal\jre\bin

      -vmargs

      -Xmx1024m

      -XX:MaxPermSize=128m

      -Xbootclasspath/... <-- full path not shown
