Our of Memory

[Jonathan-204]

I have been using SmartCVS for a while now and have not had any issues. However, recently I had to setup SmartCVS on a new system for a contractor. Initially, everything worked fine. But now when she tries to open a project, Smart CVS will begin scanning the repository and soon prompts us that SmartCVS has run out of memory.

We followed the directions from the prompt to edit the file "smartcvs.vmoptions" located in Program Files/SmartCVS 7/bin, and edit the memory found "-Xmx48m". We have more than doubled this and still get the same error. Our systems are similar (Windows XP, 3GB RAM), and our "smartcvs.vmoptions" file is also the same.

Any idea what is causing this and/or how to fix this?

Hi Jonathan,

Please verify the working copies of both projects and whether the same Java version is used.

Is one of them a 64bit OS versus a 32 bit?   You might have a bit more
of an issue because while the 64 bit vm can address a LOT more heap
memory the size of pointers/data types used inside the vm takes more
memory to do (not double but a bit more for certain data types). - I've
read that if tuned right it will use 5-10% more, if your thread stack
size is wrong it can take much more.   (Below is a similar question
although not an in-depth treatment of the topic)

Thomas,

I found yesterday that my PC has Java 1.6 installed, but the system that is having issues has Java 1.5 installed. Actually, the system that is not working has multiple versions of java installed. We tried to upgrade the system to java 1.6 but ran into errors. Maybe the issue is related to java?

Hi Jonathan,

Please be sure to install the SmartCVS bundle *with* Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
