Overview

This document outlines how to configure how much memory is used within Apache Tomcat. It may be useful when running multiple instances of PINsafe.

Prerequisites

The heap space value should be set already, but you can verify and if necessary set the values.

To increase the Heap Space of a PINsafe appliance you need to edit catalina.sh in the /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.20/bin folder Add the line at the start of the file after the comments

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS "-Xmx192m

You should be able to keep adding heap. We have tested over half a Gb of heap (-Xmx512m)
