Risks of not pursuing FSCM upgrade 9.2 (from 9.1)

2700568Jun 6 2017

We are in the process of analysing the risks of not upgrading to FSCM 9.2 (we are on 9.1)  post extended support (Jan 2018) deadline

We see the following statements regarding sustaining support

After ending the extended support, Sustaining Support kicks off but it does not include:

  • New updates, fixes, security alerts, data fixes, and critical patch updates (pre-existing covered)  --> What data fixes?
  • New tax, legal, and regulatory updates  --> Other than 1099, what additiaonal ones are not covered here??
  • New upgrade scripts (pre-existing covered)
  • Certification with new third-party and existing products/versions --> Any examples??
  • Certification with new and existing Oracle products --> Any examples??
  • 24 hour commitment and response guidelines for Severity 1 service requests --> What would we have in sustainign support??
  • Previously released fixes or updates that Oracle no longer supports --> Please elaborate

Any other information that highlights the risks of not pursuing upgrade will be helpful

Thanks

Are you by any chance running on a dual processor machine? If you are, you might be running with -server (this is the new ergonomic change in Tiger), and with a larger default heap size. The best way to check this is to run
java -showversion myClass
A new feature in Java5 was to determine if the machine was better off using -server instead of -client (>2cpu, >2gb of memory). If that was true then -server is used and certain GC tuning parameters are specified. If the VM detects you are on a "Server Class" machine, than by default 1/4 of your memory is used as maximum heap up to a maximum of 1gb. So its possible that's what you are hitting.

You are right, this may be the problem.

Is there a way to change the default behavior or do I always set -server/-client manually to make shure my favorite java vm gets started?

You can continue to use the server VM if you wish, but just remember to specify minimum and maximum heap sizes with -Xms and -Xmx.
