Dear Sir,

This error relates to the Garbage Collection (GC) mechanism of JVM, which
means that it does not have enough memory available to complete the task.
More in particular, it means that the Garbage Collector is spending too
much time clearing the heap space from unused objects, but at the same time
it does not free more than 2% of the heap space, which is used for the
instantiated objects. That's wh the GC reports that it does not have any
more space to do its job.

One thing you can do, if you do not have enough RAM on your server, is
first shutdown Tomcat (this will lead to some downtime for your server, but
it will free up some valuable RAM and after OAI completes you can restart
it) and then go to the */dspace/bin/dspace* file of your running dspace
instance and edit it with your text editor. Then, in the file search and
find the line:

*JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx256m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"*

and *change it *to:

 *JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx2048m -Xms1024m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"*

*DO NOT* copy and paste the line, but edit it in place, because you do not
want to mess up this file.

This will specify that the dspace *TOOL *(which is the file you are running
for the OAI) will use *from 1024MB up to 2048MB RAM* for its task and not
just *256MB*. However, you *must have more than 2048MB RAM* available on
the server (i.e. 3GB), or the script will fail again and it might hang your
server. If you have *LESS *than 3GB allocated to the server, then adjust
these values accordingly (i.e. Xmx1024m Xms500m, etc).

The bottomline is that you do not have enough memory to complete the task
and even if your server has 32GB RAM, the dspace tool will only use up to
the RAM specified in this file.

I hope that I have helped!

Best Regards,

-Fk
