Set the maximum number of pop-up windows

The number of open pop-up windows on a client workstation, combined with a high usage volume and long session timeouts, can affect the amount of memory used on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) of the application server. Popup windows are used for workflow step processing, eForms, search windows, confirmation prompts, and other actions. If memory usage on your system is a concern, you can limit the number of pop-up windows that the application can open concurrently.

To set the maximum number of pop-up windows:

  1. Use a text editor to edit the servlet descriptor (web.xml) file. You must edit the file in both the installed and deployed locations.
  2. Modify the value of the popWindowIDCycleMax parameter as needed. The default maximum is 5 pop-up windows. Adjust the number up or down, based on the number of concurrent pop-up windows required by your users. To disable the maximum limit, enter 0.
  3. Save the file.
  4. If you are using a WAR file or EAR file for deployment, you must recreate the WAR file or WAR and EAR files and redeploy the application. If not, simply restart the application server.
