Configuring JVM memory settings

When you install BMC Release Process Management, by default the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) memory is set to 8 GB. 

To adjust the Java heap size memory, perform the following steps: 

1. Stop the BMC Release Process Management service.
2. From the command prompt, go to /opt/bmc/RLM/bin location and open the Start.sh file. 

3. For the export JAVA_OPTS parameter, change the values that match your requirements. 
   By default, the -Xms and the -Xmx value is 8192m. 

   Important

   BMC recommends that you specify minimum 8GB JVM heap size for an efficient performance of the BRPM application.

4. From the command prompt, go to the /opt/bmc/RLM5.0.03/RPM/config/ location and open the automation_settings.rb file.

5. For the AUTOMATION_JAVA_OPTS parameter, update the values with the memory settings that match your requirements. 
   By default, the values for the parameter are: -Xmx128m -Xms32m -Xss2048k.

   Important

   BMC recommends that you specify the value for -Xmx as 256m for an efficient performance of the BRPM application.

6. Restart the BMC Release Process Management service.
