Description
Resolution: Environment: =========== Only in BW 5.10 on AIX with jre 1.6.0 64-bit
Description ========= If you use the following IBM GC argument in bwengine.tra, java.extended.properties=-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack\=true -Xdisableexplicitgc -Xcompressedrefs
when you run the command "./bwengine", BW engine fails. The output is:
Resolution: ========== To make -Xcompressedrefs work, JVM_LIB_DIR should have the compressedrefs path instead of default one. In bwengine.tra, you need to prepend <JRE_HOME>/lib/ppc64/compressedrefs in tibco.env.JVM_LIB_DIR so it should look like the following:
Note: if you do not want to use compressedrefs you should remove -Xcompressedrefs as well as <JRE_HOME>/lib/ppc64/compressedrefs in JVM_LIB_DIR. Otherwise you will see the coredump again.
