Configuring JVM heap size in the IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor engine

To maximize performance, configure JVM heap size in the IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor engine.

1. Make a backup of the InstallationInfo.properties file in Installation Directory\conf.
2. Open InstallationInfo.properties in Installation Directory\conf with a text editor, such as Notepad on Microsoft Windows or vi on UNIX.
3. Look for the line that starts with MAX_HEAP_SIZE. If the line is there, change the value to the preferred number. If the line is not there, add a line at the end of the file as shown in the following example:
   MAX_HEAP_SIZE=-Xmx???m
4. Replace ??? with the preferred number, for example, MAX_HEAP_SIZE=-Xmx1024m.
5. Save the file.
6. Run the configCC.sh (UNIX) or configCC.bat (Microsoft Windows) file in Installation Directory/bin. Answer "no" to all the questions. Running the script makes the necessary updates to different runEngine scripts.
7. Stop the engine by using stopEngine.sh (UNIX) or stopEngine.bat (Microsoft Windows).
8. Start the engine by using runEngine.sh (UNIX) or runEngine.bat (Microsoft Windows).
