Configure the Java Heap Size

You can configure the Java heap size for Find by setting the size in the Java run command.

To configure the Java heap size

  • At the command line, send the java run command with the Xmx"[HeapSize]"m argument set. For example:

    java -Xmx2048m -Didol.find.home=[home directory] -Dserver.port=[port] -jar find.war

If you run Find as a service on Windows, you can also add the Xmx property to the find.xml file.

If you run Find as a service on Linux, you can set or modify the java heap size in the start scripts (find.sh for SystemV, find.conf for Upstart, or find.service for systemd).

When you modify the Find configuration by modifying the XML file or start scripts, you must restart Find to apply your configuration changes.

On Upstart, you must also run initctl reload-configuration before you restart, to apply the init file changes. You can then run service find restart to restart the service.
