Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded : bsu.sh

We have faced java memory issue while applying weblogic patches in Oracle E-Business Suite R12.2.7

Error:

Reason:

The default java memory arguments  provided in bsu.sh file are not sufficient for patching activity (./bsu.sh)

Fix:

Increase the Java memory values in bsu.sh file (under $MW_HOME/utils/bsu) by increasing the value MEM_ARGS values.

Default Value:

MEM_ARGS="-Xms512m -Xmx1024m"

Changed Values:

MEM_ARGS="-Xms1024m -Xmx2048m"

Save the bsu.sh file and restart the patching activity.
