Configuring after installation

A user or administrator must perform this task before using the product (or part of the product) to accomplish user goals.

Configuring the memory settings

For the production (and potentially lower) environments, the number of concurrent jobs and memory consumption of those individual jobs might require an increase to the Java heap size for the BMC Atrium Orchestrator JVMs.

You can adjust the heap size on the server by editing the Tomcat properties.

To adjust the heap size of a CDP server on Windows

  1. Stop the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Configuration Distribution Peer service. See Starting-and-stopping-product-components-and-services.
  2. From the command prompt, go to <AO_HOME>\tomcat\bin and run the tomcat7w.exe //ES//<CDPService> command.
  3. On the CDP Peer Properties dialog box, click the Java tab.
  4. You can edit the values of the following parameters to determine the heap size:
    • Initial memory pool
    • Maximum memory pool
       Here, the default value of the parameters is Initial memory pool=1024 and Maximum memory pool=1280. Do not increase the Maximum memory pool value (default 1280) to more than half of the computer's total memory. Also, do not increase this value beyond 8192 (8 GB) without consulting BMC Customer Support.
  5. Click Apply and then click OK.
  6. Start the CDP service. See Starting-and-stopping-product-components-and-services.

To adjust the heap size for a Linux computer

  1. Stop the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Configuration Distribution Peer service. See Starting-and-stopping-product-components-and-services.
  2. Go to the <AO_HOME>/bin directory.
  3. Back up the the server.sh file.
  4. Open the server.sh file for editing.
  5. Edit the values of the following parameters to determine the heap size:
    • -Xms
    • -Xmx
       Here, the default value of the parameters is: -Xms1024m and -Xmx1280m. Do not increase the set maxMemSize value (defaut 1280) to more than half of the computer's total memory. Also, do not increase this value beyond 8192 (8 GB) without consulting BMC Support.
  6. Save the file.
  7. Start the CDP service. See Starting-and-stopping-product-components-and-services.
