How to increase the JMeter heap size without modifying the
jmeter.bat file?
I am trying to increase the JMeter heap size to get rid of the error
'java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space'. I know that it can be increased
in the jmeter.bat file by setting the following properties to a higher
desired number:
set HEAP=-Xms256m -Xmx512m
set PERM=-XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
But we are wanting to be able to set it differently ( maybe through
system.properties or jmeter.properties or something else?), so that we don't
have to modify the jmeter.bat file everytime a new version comes out (we are
basically automating the installation of JMeter in our application), and we
are trying to just override the heap size property a different way without
tinkering with the jmeter.bat file.
Does anyone have an idea of how this can be achieved?

Its the same problem though - you miss any updates the JMeter team may make
to this file -
you need the ability to override values which seems to be a generic
enhancement to make

it's just a jar file that you ultimately need to run -- so roll your own
startup script?
java -server -Xms8192m -Xmx8192m -XX:NewSize=2048m
-XX:MaxNewSize=2048m -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=2 -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
-XX:PermSize=64m -Xmn100M .... -jar

/var/log/flood/stdout/fYI1KtiftzUn7nfVQY3ZMQ.log -l

I think on windows you can create a shortcut and specify command line
parameters that the app should take. The shortcut wouldn't depend on
version upgrades, if they use the same location.
However, any "automation" setup should be able to handle a basic
requirement such as passing runtime parameters to the applications they are
executing. So, maybe you should find a way to send those parameters from
whatever tool you are using to automate the start of JMeter.

you probably need to raise a bugzilla (you might try adding it to JVM_ARGS
and see if the last option wins i.e. the option will come twice , but this
would likely be fragile)
