Component configuration recommendations

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. The nonproduction setup values are default values of the properties described. Use the following table in conjunction with the recommendations provided in the Hardware sizing recommendations topic. For example, if you are using a small setup with 8 GB of RAM and four core CPUs, you should change the value of the wrapper.java.initmemory property to 4096 MB.

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.
