This section describes how to change the memory settings for the Java Virtual Machine when running Aspire. It depends on how you are running Aspire. Check the Hardware and Network Considerations for the recommend Memory allocation settings.
If running Aspire as Windows Service, there is two options:
Every command should be run using an Administrator Console, and relative to the ${aspire.home} directory.
Change the $aspire.home}\bin\installService.bat file to reflect the memory settings you want to use. In the example below we are setting the memory as 32 GB
rem Initial Java heap size set JAVA_INITIAL_MEMORY=32768 rem Maximum Java heap size set JAVA_MAX_MEMORY=32768
Remove the service by executing
> bin\removeService.bat Windows Service Name: AspireService [SC] DeleteService SUCCESS Service AspireService deleted. >
Reinstall the service
> bin\installService.bat "JAVA 8" Current System Architecture: AMD64 Windows Service Name: AspireService Aspire Home: C:\Users\aaguilar\Distributions\aspire-3.2 Java VM: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_73\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll Creating Service... Service AspireService created. >
Enjoy your new Memory Settings
This option is available if you can't or don't want to reinstall the Service.
