Specify server settings

You can transfer the server settings from the previous PPM version to version 10.4 and adapt them, if required.

With version 9.6, the analysis server needs more main memory than in earlier versions. The analysis server memory settings are automatically adapted by CTK. We recommend that you use the new settings because they are required for percentile calculation and Data analytics. If you made changes to the Additional settings in the previous PPM version, they have been adapted by CTK. You can verify the changes and restore individual parameters, if required.

New import scenarios are available from version 10.2. Each scenario contains a specific set of parameter values. The parameter values are optimized for the system environment.

Select an import scenario to set the memory settings of the programs. Depending on your selection, the programs runxmlimport, runppmimport, runpikidata, and runppmcompress automatically take the appropriate memory settings from the _vmparam.bat file and the corresponding import settings from the EpkImport_settings.properties file.

If you have adapted the values in a previous version or if you want to set other settings, you can edit the _vmparam.bat file in the directory <PPM_CURRENT_DATA>/config/<client>/bin and the EPKImport_settings.properties file in the directory <PPM_CURRENT_DATA>/config/<client>.

If you want to specify additional VM options, you can edit the following parameters in the _vmparam.bat file:

Further details about import scenarios can be found in the PPM Data Import.pdf.
