CMS Application - Delivery - Set as current version - End of set as current version - Fatal Error - Java Heap Space

Description

When setting a delivery as a current version in CAST-MS, the operation fails with the message “Java Heap Space” as shown in the screenshot below:

Observed in CAST AIP

ReleaseYes/No
8.3.x✅

Observed on RDBMS

RDBMSYes/No
CSS✅

Step by Step Scenario

Below is the step-by-step scenario leading to the problem:

  1. Package and deliver code in the Delivery Manager Tool (DMT)
  2. Try to set as current version in CAST-MS

Impact of the Problem

The impact of the problem on the analysis or the dashboard is:  No delivery and therefore no dashboard results.

Action Plan

The problem in this case was due to an application that contained literately several thousand of project files (.vcproj, .vcporjx, etc….), causing a huge number of discovered analysis units.

To fix the problem, proceed with one of the following approaches:

  • Make sure that you are following the hardware requirements for CAST. For CAST 8.2, this can be seen in the documentation here: Deployment - sizing
  • Separate the code into smaller applications instead of having all of the files in one extremely large application.
  • Disable the discovery of the technology that is involved in the project discovery (if the project files are .vcproj, disable the C++ file discoverer) by adjusting the package configuration settings and setup the analysis units manually instead. Please see the following documentation on this: Package Configuration tab and Analysis Unit editor
