[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Limiting RAM usage by Java and AS

[Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g)]

I haven’t had the need to change settings, but I believe you can set any of the java options in the archivesspace.{sh,bat} scripts. And it looks like you can also change the values with unix shell environment variables: 



if [ "$ASPACE_JAVA_XMX" = "" ]; then
    ASPACE_JAVA_XMX="-Xmx1024m"
fi

if [ "$ASPACE_JAVA_XSS" = "" ]; then
    ASPACE_JAVA_XSS="-Xss2m"
fi

if [ "$ASPACE_JAVA_MAXPERMSIZE" = "" ]; then
    ASPACE_JAVA_MAXPERMSIZE="-XX:MaxPermSize=256m"
fi
