Component configuration recommendations for horizontal scaling

Based on the recommended hardware sizes, you might need to change the configurations of various product components to make optimum use of available resources.

The following table provides a list of the configuration properties, their locations, and the recommended values for the properties for each setup.

Use the following table in conjunction with the recommendations provided in the horizontal sizing recommendations.

In the table, the configuration location paths must be preceded by one of the following environment variables:

  • Windows: %BMC_ITDA_HOME%
  • Linux: $BMC_ITDA_HOME

Note

When you change any of the following properties, ensure that you re-start the corresponding service for the particular component and any dependent services. For example, the wrapper.java.initmemory property defines the initial memory required for the Indexer, so when you change this property value, ensure that you re-start the Indexer.

For more information about starting or stopping services and service dependencies, see Starting or stopping product services

Ensure that you make the same configuration changes for components of the same type. For example, if you change certain configurations for the Indexer, and you have multiple instances of Indexers deployed, ensure that you make the change for all Indexers in your environment.
