Configure the Java Heap Size

You can configure the Java heap size for IDOL Site Admin by setting the size in the Java run command.

To configure the Java heap size

  • At the command line, send the java run command with the Xmx"[HeapSize]"m argument set. For example:

    java -Xmx2048m -Didol.idolsiteadmin.home=[home directory] -Dserver.port=[port] -jar siteadmin.jar

    The default value is 1024.

If you run IDOL Site Admin as a service on Windows, you can also add the Xmx property to the dataadmin.xml file.

If you run IDOL Site Admin as a service on Linux, you can modify the JAVA_MAX_HEAP_SIZE variable in the start scripts (siteadmin.sh for SystemV, siteadmin.conf for Upstart, or siteadmin.service for systemd).

When you modify the IDOL Site Admin configuration by modifying the XML file or start scripts, you must restart IDOL Site Admin to apply your configuration changes.

On Upstart, you must also run initctl reload-configuration before you restart, to apply the init file changes. You can then run service siteadmin restart to restart the service.
