Increasing the Java virtual machine heap size using scripting

For some servers, it may be required to specify a Java virtual machine (JVM) heap size greater than the default. You can increase the heap size of the JVM using the administrative console, the wsadmin tool, or a Java client.

Procedure

  1. Set attributes that control the heap size for the JVM associated with the server. This can be done using the administrative console, the wsadmin tool, or a Java client.
  2. Perform one of the following to increase the heap size of the JVM:
    • Create a script to launch the server. Use the -script option with the command that you are using to start the target server, for example, the startServer, startManager, or startNode commands. This will generate a script for that you can use to launch the target server in the future.
    • Manually set the environment variables before starting the target server with the startServer, startManager, or startNode commands.
