How to Increase BrightServer Memory

How to Increase BrightServer Memory

By default, out-of-the-box, the maximum Java heap size is set to 1024 MB (1GB). Without adjusting this maximum heap size, regardless of the physical memory available on the machine, the maximum memory allocated to the BrightServer instance will be limited to this Java maximum heap size setting.

Depending on how BrightServer is configured, there are few options to configure the memory that BrightServer can access.

 

Via Windows Service Configuration File

If the BrightServer instance is running as a Windows service (recommended way of running BrightServer instances), then the wrapper.java.maxmemory option in the wrapper.conf file must be modified . This file is located in the “service” subdirectory where the server is installed.

 

Via Command Line Options

If BrightServer instance is run from a command line by using run.bat file for testing or development purposes, then Java –Xmx option needs to be changed.
