PROBLEM:
While applying patch in Weblogic 10, which is part of EBS setup using bsu.sh script, got below error.
[oracle@bsu]$ ./bsu.sh -install -patch_download_dir=/oracle/EBS12/oracle/PROD/fs1/FMW_Home/utils/bsu/cache_dir -patchlist=QMJP -prod_dir=/oracle/EBS12/oracle/PROD/fs1/FMW_Home/wlserver_10.3

SOLUTION:
Some patches might required, very heap memory. So fix this type of errors, you can follow steps.
cd $FMW_HOME/utils/bsu
$ cat bsu.sh
#!/bin/sh
JAVA_HOME="/oracle/EBS12/oracle/PROD/fs1/EBSapps/comn/util/jdk64"
MEM_ARGS="-Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:+UseParallelGC" ---- >>>> This line to be modified with highe value
"$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" ${MEM_ARGS} -jar patch-client.jar $*
Currently, in the bsu.sh file, MEM_ARGS is set to -Xms512m -Xmx512m . Now increase the same to a higher value i.e “-Xms2048m -Xmx2048m
The updated file will look as below.
$ cat bsu.sh
#!/bin/sh
JAVA_HOME="/oracle/EBS12/oracle/PROD/fs1/EBSapps/comn/util/jdk64"
MEM_ARGS="-Xms2048m -Xmx2048m -XX:+UseParallelGC"
"$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" ${MEM_ARGS} -jar patch-client.jar $*
Now run the bsu.sh command again, it will run successfully.
[oracle@bsu]$ ./bsu.sh -install -patch_download_dir=/oracle/EBS12/oracle/PROD/fs1/FMW_Home/utils/bsu/cache_dir -patchlist=QMJP -prod_dir=/oracle/EBS12/oracle/PROD/fs1/FMW_Home/wlserver_10.3
