Situation
When running large numbers of Active Views or using the Sentinel
Control Center (SCC) heavily it may be desired to increase the
amount of RAM available to the Java heap which contains the SCC JAR
files. The windows version of the SCC has a .bat file to load
including custom JVM parameters but the shortcut created by default
points to an .exe file in order to avoid opening a command prompt
which windows requires when opening a file via .bat file.
Resolution
In the $ESEC_HOME/bin directory there is a file named
control_center.ja which contains the JVM parameters which will be
read in by the SCC when loaded via the .exe file. The
parameters are space-delimited and examples follow to increase the
JVM maximum heap to 1024 megabytes and the initial heap to 512
megabytes:
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
