Increase the Memory Limit in Pentaho BA Server

Hello Guys,

In this post i would like to explain How to increase the memory limit Pentaho BA Server 5.0

Location of the file:$/pentaho5/ biserver-ee / start-pentaho.bat

Edit the start-pentaho.bat and modify the value of -Xmx to allocate more memory to BA Server JVM instance.

Actual Code:

set CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms1024m –Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000

Code after Modification

set CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms20480m –Xmx20480m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000

Hope this post helps someone and feel free to give comments and suggestion
