Configuring memory size for plug-ins

You can configure the amount of JAVA memory available to plug-ins for optimum plug-in performance.

A Java Virtual Machine (JVM) launches the Goovy runtime program which executes the IBM® UrbanCode™ Release plug-ins. The following properties can be used to configure the amount of JVM memory used by the IBM UrbanCode Release plug-ins: 
groovy.memory.xmn=sizeunit_type
groovy.memory.xms=sizeunit_type
groovy.memory.xmx=sizeunit_type
xmn
Heap size for the young generation
xms
Initial Java heap size
xmx
Maximum heap size
Where size is a whole number of the unit_type value. The value for unit_type can be:
  • k to indicate kilobytes
  • m to indicate megabytes
  • g to indicate gigabytes
For example: groovy.memory.xmx=2g or groovy.memory.xms=512m. You can also specify inherit for the size variable, for example: groovy.memory.xmx=inherit. If inherit is specified, the memory values are inherited from the JAVA_OPTS environment variables or passed by the JVM.

You must restart the server for the values to take affect.

To avoid out-of-memory errors and performance issues, a minimum of the following JVM settings should be specified:
groovy.memory.xmx=512m
groovy.memory.xms=256m
groovy.memory.xmn=128m
