HEC-DSSVue

List of Known Problems:

If you get an error regarding HEC-DSS Vue not loading, read the following:

When HEC-DSS Vue starts, it asks Java to allocate system memory for it to work within. Lately, some virus checkers pushed out an update that limited the memory foot print of programs. On some systems, this change did not allow Java to allocate the requested memory and it failed loading HEC-DSSVue.

To resolve this, HEC-DSSVue can have its maximum memory lowered. It should work fine, unless you have very large datasets. In the install directory, edit the file HEC-DSSVue.config and change

#:------------------------------------------------------:
#: Memory parameters :
#:------------------------------------------------------:
vmparam -ms64M -mx1000M

to

#:------------------------------------------------------:
#: Memory parameters :
#:------------------------------------------------------:
vmparam -ms12M -mx600M

Save and restart HEC-DSSVue.
