Description:
Description:
===========

Chapter "Configuration for 64-bit Mode" in tib_be_installation.pdf suggests to change TRA property tibco.env.APP_ARGS=-d64 -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=52 -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=90 -XX:GCTimeRatio=19 tibco.env.HEAP_SIZE=2048M.  The BE agent will not start after following the above suggestion.



Symptom:
=======
The TIBCO BusinessEvents engine throws a parameter error during startup.

Environment:
===========

    * All 64-bit operating systems
    * TIBCO BusinessEvents release 4.0.x
    * TIBCO BusinessEvents release 5.0

Cause:
=====
In the TIBCO BusinessEvents Installation guide, post-installation steps in the
"Configuration for 64-bit Mode" section are incorrect.

Workaround:
==========

Documentation instructs you to add the JVM related parameters to the
env.APP_ARGS property in your TRA file. Instead, add them to the
java.extended.properties property. If you have already followed the
documentation, move the following options:

-d64 -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=52  -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=90 -XX:GCTimeRatio=19

from the env.APP_ARGS property to the java.extended.properties property.

Note: Check java.extend.properties and remove any duplicate attributes.

  
Solution:
========

Documentation will be corrected in the next major or minor release.
