    Steps to recreate :
    
    1.) Navigate to Application Servers > ServerName > Process
    Definition > Java Virtual Machine
    2.) Change Maximum Heap Size to 4096 (MB).
    3.) Save the changes.
    4.) Stop the server
    5.) Clear all the logs
    6.) Re-start the server
    7.) Navigate to Application Servers > ServerName > Runtime
    heap sizes are displayed in terms of BYTES
    
    8.) The previously mentioned error is seen in SystemErr.log

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server V8.0 using the Adminstrative console *
    *                  to manage 64 bit servers.                   *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The console will throw an exception     *
    *                      with heap sizes that are set greater    *
    *                      than 2048 MB.                           *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The console is using an integer to save heap size values.
    This is not large enough for 64 bit architectures.
