Change memory settings

If a user starts ARIS Download Client, the default heap size of 700 MB is used.

You can change the memory settings.

Warning

If you change settings in the arisloader.cfg file, the settings will be lost after an update setup.

Prerequisite

You have write access to the ARIS installation directory.

Procedure

  1. Open the arisloader.cfg file (<ARIS installation path>\server\bin\work\work_abs_<s, m, or l>\base\webapps\abs\downloadClient\config).

  2. Change the default value of MaxHeapSize=.

    If you leave this empty, as it is per default, 700 MB will be used. To specify a maximum heap size of 512 MB, enter MaxHeapSize=512.

    Warning

    Take care about using the correct value. If values are not entered correctly, this may cause severe issues. Possibly ARIS clients might not start or work reliably.

  3. Save the changes.

    Warning

    When performing an update setup all modifications made manually in CFG or XML files will be lost.

    Save modified configuration files locally and document your modifications. After an update installation you can easily compare your saved file and copy the modified line into the updated configuration file.
