Re: Optimal settings for JAVA_OPTS on a 4 gig Windows 7 computer?

 

Thanks for the quick response.  I've found that the only way to be sure that the new settings show up in DHIS-2 on topcat is to create a setenv.bat file in the tomcat\bin folder.  Setting it as an environment variable seems to be less reliable.

Hi Randy,

This is proobably not the solution, but just yesterday I had a problem on a laptop with Windows 8 where it appeared as if the JVM took no notice of my JAVA_OPTS, the reason for which I still fail to comprehend.

So just to make sure, you could try and feed the parameters directly to the Java process as you are starting DHIS2, if you're using DHIS Live you could try something like this from a Command prompt:

java -Xmx6000m -Xms3000m -XX:MaxPermSize=500m -XX:PermSize=300m -jar dhis-live.jar

For Tomcat you could also put it in one of the startup scripts, I guess.
