Component configuration recommendations for single-server sizing

Based on the single-server sizing recommendations, 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 single-server sizing recommendations. For example, if you are using a small setup with 16 GB of RAM and eight CPU's, you should change the value of the Indexer's wrapper.java.initmemory property to 8192.

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.
