Issue/Introduction

TIBCO Enterprise Administrator (TEA) serverfails with the error, "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread".

Resolution

The approximate maximum number of threads of a JVM can be calculated in the following way.

(MaxProcessMemory - JVMMemory - ReservedOsMemory) / (ThreadStackSize) = Number of threads

You may be hitting one of the following OS limits:

1). Large number of running user processes.

2). Large number of opened files.

3). Low value set for max process per user.

To resolve a large number of opened files, up your ulimit -n (max files open) setting. Details follow.

You can see your user limits with the command:

ulimit -a

Up your max file limit with the following value or higher(depends on OS resource):

ulimit -n 65536


The default number of max process per users is 1024 by default. To resolve low max process per user issue, add the following to the $HOME/.profile .


ulimit -u 4096


In the Tea.tra file, add following property and tune the values.



# Specifies the min and max Java heap size to allocate

java.heap.size.max=512m


Tune the JVM Heap value. Note, refer to the JVM tuning documents at oracle.com.


# Give some extra space to permgen if needed.



java.extended.properties=-Xincgc -XX:NewSize=128m -XX:MaxNewSize=256m -verbose:gc-Xms1024m -Xmx4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=2024m -XX:-HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError %TEA_START_PARAMS% 


If you still face OutOfMemoryError , then upload the tea.tra and tea.log files for review by TEA Support.
