OpenEMM Problem

[charlie_82]

Hi Guys,

My company is using OpenEMM for our newsletters etc...

We have a mailer that needs to go out to roughly 300'000 recipents but eveytime we try to send it out, we get this error:

500 Servlet Exception
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

I'm assuming this is a RAM related issue...? AFAIK we're on a VM with 512mb RAM.
The email, with images, is roughly 255kb.

How much RAM should we have?

And yes, the heap is likely stored in main memory.
The likely issue seems to be that there is not enough memory reserved for the garbage collector (or other operation).

Not quite sure of the inner workings of OpenEMM (since it's open source, you could check it out), but:
300 000 * 255 = 76 500 000kB
-> +/- 76.5TB

However this is unlikely to be the ACTUAL memory requirements (it probably doesn't need to push EVERYTHING into memory before it can start executing).
