Question

While installing my project using the Controller, I got the following error.

Starting transmission...
  Bundle 1 (4kb = 1 installs, 23 deletes)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Sorry, the install failed.

Finished with status false

If you have a very large project, you might need to increase the default value for JAVA_OPTS in extension-projects/ttc_t/config/bin/installLaunchpad. The default is 256mb, but you can increase according to your needs. The Controller uses FIP which doesn’t need memory in proportion to the project being deployed, so a modest increase should work fine.

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms64m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=32m"
