Identifying Memory Problems

If SICS terminates (abends) with an error message and one of the first lines of the walkback file is:

...
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
...

then you have a heap memory problem.

Examples of situations when such an error can occur are:

• Batch processing
• Long running task, e.g. accounting orders and periodic functions
• Reading large amounts of data from the SICS database, for instance, asking the Business Partner Ledger to return more than a few thousand balances.
