Nothing happens when double-clicking batch file

[Former Member]

Hello,

I downloaded the full version of SAP Memory Analyzer for Windows, and extracted the zip file, but when I double click on MemoryAnalyzer.bat nothing happens. I've also tried running it from the command line - I'm not getting any errors, but still nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,

most likely it is a wrong JDK version. The Memory Analyzer needs at least JDK 1.5 to run (although it can analyze dumps from older VMs).

Open the start script and replace $JDK_HOME$ with the path to your JRE installation.

Or just edit the start command directly:

start "Memory Analyzer" /path/to/jre/bin/javaw -Xms512m [...other options...]

Unfortunately, we have not found a good way to report an error. Inside the script we do start javaw. Errors from the start command are not reported back. Any ideas are welcome.

Kind regards,

- Andreas.

Thanks Andreas,

I was only using 1.4.2, so that was indeed my problem.

I didn't see a README file or anything that talked about requirements such as that, does such a thing exist? It would have been nice to have.

Hi Jennifer,

good point. I have just added a README.txt to the current dev version. The next download will contain the file.

Happy holidays,
