Pulse 6.1 on Linux - MAX memory

Pulse Pulse Questions
1

First of all, congratulations to the Pulse team for releasing a Linux compatible version of Pulse with the v6.1 release!

We are in the process of testing out the Linux installation and have come across the topic of increasing MAX memory used by Pulse (post installation). Traditionally on Windows installations, we would go into the registry to increase (Update the Pulse Application Server JVM maximum memory - Cubewise CODE).

On Linux, what is the best way to increase the MAX memory on the Java webapp server?

  • Should we modify *pulse.install.env" and then rerun the shell to re-install?
  • Or is there a parameter inside the web server configurations (e.g., server.xml) that we can use?

Thanks!

Hi @weiview ,

Both approach works, but just would like to clarify a few things,

  • Should we modify *pulse.install.env" and then rerun the shell to re-install?

You can, and by re-install, it means, uninstall and then install.

  • Or is there a parameter inside the web server configurations (e.g., server.xml) that we can use?

You can update the following file inside the Pulse installation <Pulse for TM1>/conf/Pulse.env so you do not need to re-install. Inside you can find the following section:

# Memory
PULSE_SERVER_MEMORY_MAX=1024

Note however that you need to update your pulse.install.env too as this will be used to re-write that Pulse.env file during installation later. Doing this will allow you to re-instate the same memory configuration next time you re-install Pulse.

Cheers!

Paul
