Hi

This indicates allocated heap memory used or exhausted, so not available further at JVM level.

Check the allocated heap memory parameter .."-XX:MaxPermSize=xxxm" , try increasing some more xx MB...

also check if this parameter is set in JVM or not,  XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit , if not, set this parameter to turn off GC overhead limits.

Hi

What is your web server ,  is it  a Apache Tomcat Server ?, then can you can see all JVM parameters in "Java Option"  under  tab "Java".

Get Apache Tomcat Properties via --> Start -> All Programs-> Tomcat -> Tomcat Configuration

If any JVM parameters value changed or new parameter added, then Tomcat service to be restarted.

Hi Ramana,

This happens when java heap space of indexing server is reached.

Increase the value of -xmx in the command line of indexing server to higher value.

Default is -xmx1g for i gb hence increase it to higher value.

This happens when you index large query.

Increase it and then test.
