Unable to allocate the required amount of memory for the JVM. Please turn off Automatic Memory Management

couldn't find another group to ask a question

no launcher.cfg in program files.

uninstalled and reinstalled.

same error,

still no launcher.cfg in Aris express program files. a lot of other files.

Same problem!!!  Can not find launcher.cfg!!!! Is it a bug????

I have the same problem too.

Tried to remove/replace JVM RT in "ARIS Express\client\jre",

changed jvmOptions params in arisloader.cfg in "ARIS Express\client\config"...Nothing helps. Seems that Aris Express.exe is just a java app launcher with built-in command-line parameters.

At last I won! :-)

I did it this way:

1. killed everything in ARIS Express directory in %USERPROFILE% (not sure that was neccessary)

2. fully cleared java cache with Java Control Panel

3. manually run ARIS Express\client\lib\express.jnlp that first donwloaded version 2.4 from the ariscommunity site

4. woila!

Hey, SoftwareAG support, what did you say about Oracle problems with Java7? ;-)

Hi Boris.

You found two errors (thank you very much :-)).

The message is wrong about the launcher.cfg. I will communicate that with our developers.

In addition, in case of this setup version, the express.jnlp should just not be there. What you did by starting this jnlp is just using the webstart version and not the Windows installed (executable ) version.

Bye,

So this problem is not fixed. Can someone from Software AG provides instructions step by step in how to get round this problem.

This never happened in our test labs, could you give us information about the memory available on your system?

There is no workaround in this version yet. If the windows installable does not work for you, you would need to use the webstart version.

I am now running the windows version 2.4 on xp but not sure why it started working. When the problem initially occured I needed to make model changes so I reloaded version 2.3 and the program loaded and didn't pay much attention to the version.  When I saw this discussion continuing I checked my version and saw that it was 2.4. Since I used the defaults maybe the intallation program used the 2.4 files when I thought I was installing 2.3.  Hope this helps a little. 

System is Win XP SP3, with 4GB Ram, 128GB SSD. Free memory is generally 2.5GB of Ram and 2GB of virtual.

Web start version - you mean the jnlp file?

Hi Mark,

4 GB should be sufficient. This is the configuration I have on my laptop.

Regarding the version:

If you have a look at the "download" section ARIS community, you can download the windows executable setup, or the webstart version. The latter one requests less memory.

Bye,

Frank

Hi everyone,

I ran into the same problem as described above and just found out that by starting the application as Administrator everything works fine. Maybe that information is helpful.

Can anybody describe step by step how to fix the aforementioned problem? all the previous posts did not help.

I've found mysterious launcher.cfg. In my case it locates in C:\Program Files\ARIS7.2\JavaClient\config\ folder. I’ve changed the value of Xmx from 512m to 16m in following line and ARIS’s started to launch.

jvmOptions="-Xmx16m;-XX:PermSize=64m;-XX:MaxPermSize=160m;-XX:+DisableExplicitGC;-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false"

I hope this information will help you.

 

I had the same problem.

It says "Unable to allocate the required amount of memory for the JVM. Please turn off Automatic Memory Management in launcher.cfg...".

But there is no launcher.cfg file.

To solve this problem you can launch "ARIS Express.exe" as an administrator.

The problem is back again on a new machine. I installed  ARIS Express 2.4c on a windows 10 machine with 8 gig of memory. I get the same message I had a couple years ago on an xp machine. " Unable to allocate the required amount of memory for the JVM . Please turn off Automatic Memory Management in launcher.cfg and try again. If you see this message again, try to lower the value of Xmx in launcher.cfg." as was true before I can not find launcher.cfg on my machine.  

Are there any new idea out there?  The problem went away for a couple years and it is back again. It is very annoying because I  have to reboot my machine before I load Aris.
