OEM 12c Agent: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Hi all,

So I got this error from OEM in a client. When connecting noticed OEM agent was down.

From logs, it failed to restart because of error “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space“.

I tried to run clearstate but got same error.

Searched on MOS – found MOS Duplicate 1952593.1: EM12c: emctl start agent Fails With Target Interaction Manager failed at Startup java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space reported in gcagent_errors.log (Doc ID 1902124.1)

Solution seems to be moving /agent_inst/sysman/emd/state/ content to another location before running clearstate.

After doing so, all worked fine! So if you are facing the same, try this out!
