Hi,
I've got a pretty big BPMN - I loaded it into ARIS Express from a previous save (48.960kB). I did many changes - including to add more photos for illustration. Now - whatever I do - Save, Save as, Save all - it does not Save - i.e. the old file still has the same size/date, new files have size 0......
No error messages...
What to do?????
Thanks
Wolf
Hi,
this model is just to big. That's all.
Copying that many pictures result in a huge memory consumption. Express ist just not able to handle this.
I do not have an evidence, since I did not have a look on the log files, but according to the screenshot, I am pretty sure.
Bye,

Hi,
not without "hacking"... you need to switch to 64 bit, which is a bit tricky.
You have the windows executable installed? This one runs with 32 bit. No way to give more memory without putting at risk whether Express will start. You need to have the webstart version with a 64 bit JRE.
- if you have Express webstart version installed, uninstall it. The windows version (EXE) can stay, they run in parallel.
- if you have a 32 bit version of the JRE installed on your machine, uninstall it.
- Download the 64 bit JRE from here.
- download the webstart version of Express from here. Allow Express to create a desktop shortcut. It will be named "ARIS Express 2.4d".
- Close Express.
- You need to change the memory setting in the webstart file. To find out what that file is, open the properties of the shortcut of ARIS Express 2.d. You'll see the command. The last parameter at the end of the command line is the file you need to change.
As example, on my machine, it is "C:\Users\y1586\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\45\72b5016d-7621737e"
So the file "72b5016d-7621737e" is to be changed. On your machine, it should be something similar. - Open this file in a text editor.
- Search for: max-heap-size="750m"
Should be line 29... - Replace the value 750m with 2048m.
- Save the file and start the webstart version of express again.
Does this work?
Bye,
Frank
