The
Java heap is a segment of host memory that certain desktop applications
use to manage their graphical user interface. The size of the Java
heap is 512 megabytes for SAS Management Console, SAS Data Integration
Studio, and SAS OLAP Cube Studio. SAS Information Map Studio dynamically
allocates heap memory, using a minimum of 500 megabytes and a maximum
of 1024 megabytes.
Follow these steps if
you need to increase the size of the Java heap for one of the preceding
desktop applications:
-
Open the application's
INI file using the path
SAS-installation-directory\SAS\application-name\release-number.
Note that your site might use a different installation directory for
SAS.
-
Increase the default
value
Xmx512m to something higher,
such as
Xmx1024m.
-
Save and close the INI
file.
-
Restart the desktop
application.
If your desktop applications
run in the Citrix application delivery environment, then you can increase
the size of your Java heap to the Citrix limit. Although some versions
of Citrix support higher limits, all versions support a maximum Java
heap size of 512 megabytes.
