When upgrading SAS BI Dashboard from 3.1 to 4.3, if you have deliberately set memory allocation very low for Java processes, you might receive an out-of-memory error. To resolve this issue, specify appropriate memory settings in the SAS BI Dashboard migrate.xml file.

These settings will enable the software to install:

<jvmarg value="-Xms768m"/>
<jvmarg value="-Xmx1024m"/>
<jvmarg value="-XXermSize=128m"/>
<jvmarg value="-XX:MaxPermSize=512m"/>
<jvmarg value="-Xss160k"/>
<jvmarg value="-XX:NewSize=128m"/>
<jvmarg value="-XX:MaxNewSize=256m"/>

In the SAS BI Dashboard migrate.xml file, search for "migratebid" (it should be close to line 246). Just above this line will be other JVMARG settings. Add the memory settings listed above.
