(WebSphere) Resize the Java Virtual Machine Memory Heap

To support large configurations, you can expand the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) memory cache for the CA GovernanceMinder server.

Follow these steps:

1. In the WebSphere Administrative Console, click Servers, Application Servers, and select a server in the cluster.
2. Click Process Definitions, Java Virtual Machine.
3. To define JVM memory heap settings, change the following fields:

   Initial Heap

   Defines the memory reserved for CA GovernanceMinder upon startup, in megabytes.

   Maximum Heap

   Defines the maximum memory that CA GovernanceMinder can use, in megabytes.

   We recommend, for a 64bit system, that you allocate approximately 3GB of cache memory (RAM) for every 1,000,000 elements allowed in cache memory (3 * maxElementsInMemory).

4. Repeat this procedure for each server in the cluster.
