Problem Note 42904: You encounter "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" when running a SAS® Data Integration Studio job to load SAS® Financial Management
If you are using SAS Data Integration Studio to load SAS Financial Management and the process aborts, check your SAS Data Integration Studio log file. You might see a message similar to the following:
ERROR: DATA STEP Component Object failure. Aborted during the EXECUTION phase.
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
If you see this error, you check the maximum memory allocation ('Xmx') setting contained in the JREOPTIONS of your <drive>:\Program Files\SAS\SASFoundation\9.2\nls\en\SASV9.cfg file. By default, this setting is typically set to 128m and might need to be increased.
There is not an exact process for adjusting this value, so try increasing this from 128m (128 MB of RAM) to 256m and resubmit your job. If you still get the 128mjava.lang.OutOfMemoryError, try increasing the Xmx setting to 512m. If you still have problems after that, do not proceed because something else might be causing the problem.
At this point, capture the SAS Data Integration Studio log file after the Xmx setting has been increased and send it to SAS Technical Support.
Note: You need to restart the SAS Object Spawner after changing this specific Xmx setting.
