[IDV #XWY-365129]: Help with windows scheduler executing bat file
- Subject: [IDV #XWY-365129]: Help with windows scheduler executing bat file
- Date: Tue, 17 May 2011 15:13:17 -0600
Chris,
Next experiment:
Delete mylog.log in case it is left around from before. Then try
jre\bin\java -Xmx512m -Didv.enableStereo=false -jar idv.jar nz-gfs.isl >>
mylog.log 2>&1
and tell me what you see in the log file.
After you try that, I would bump up the memory quite a bit, perhaps to
-Xmx1500m.
