Attaching the OverOps Agent to a JVM Running Java 10 or 11
When attaching an OverOps Agent to a JVM that is running Java 10 or 11 or any IBM java versions, follow these guidelines:
Turn off Class Sharing: This can be done using the following flags:
for IBM Java
‑Xshareclasses:none
for HotSpot
-Xshare:off
-XX:-UseTypeSpeculation
Increase ReservedCodeCache to at least 512mb by adding the following flag
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=512m
The Agent should appear last in the VM arguments list before specifying the main class or jar.
When adding/removing 3rd party packages, the Agent should be restarted.
Additionally, if you wish to upgrade your own compiler to target Java 10/11, then you'll have to upgrade your Collector (SaaS) or Collector + backend (On-Premises) to support it.
