Allocating additional memory for OpenText SAST

To increase the memory allocated for OpenText SAST, do one of the following:

• In the Advanced Static Analysis wizard, increase the amount of memory OpenText SAST uses for scanning. This passes the memory allocation option to OpenText SAST. This method does not require restarting Fortify Audit Workbench. See "Scanning Large, Complex Projects".

• Before your start Fortify Audit Workbench, set the environment variable SCA_VM_OPTS. For example, to allocate 32 GB to OpenText SAST, set the variable to -Xmx32G.

  If you choose to set SCA_VM_OPTS, do not allocate more memory than is physically available. Overallocation degrades performance.
