Configuring JVM memory settings

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

Note

When you upgrade to BMC Release Process Management 5.0.03.001 and later, the JVM memory is set to 8 GB, by default. Even if the memory settings in your environment are different, after the upgrade the JVM memory size is set to 8 GB. Ensure that you adjust the memory settings that match your environment.

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.
