JVM settings

[buster]

Alfresco 3.4d on Windows Server 2008 R2 citrix virtual machine. 12GB of RAM is dedicated for this machine.

I keep getting GC, heap, transaction errors, etc. I've read the JVM tuning section of the wiki but I can't find where to set these values for the JVM. I've tried within setenv.bat that is found in alfresco\tomcat\bin and alfresco\scripts but the heap size doesn't change when I restart the Alfresco service. Where exactly do I set these options so that I can increase my heap size?

Thanks!
Buster

By "I restart the Alfresco service" I assume you are running Alfresco tomcat installed as a service, then try using tomcat6w.exe to set the options.

Thanks Loftux, you pointed me in the right direction. I'm not too familiar with the service parameters but with the help from that how-to link you provided, I successfully changed the java settings for alfresco. I did so by uninstalling the alfrescoTomcat service, changed the jvm settings inside the %alfresco_home%\tomcat\bin\service.bat file, and then used the "Install Alfresco Community as a Service" to reinstall with the new settings.

Good to go!
