Kindly follow the below mentioned steps for Helical Insight which is hosted on Linux server

Please download setenv.zip (287 Bytes) and extract it.

Open this file in a text editor. Based on the kind of hardware that you have allocated to Helical Insight server you can make the required changes in the file.

export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Xms2048m"
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Xmx6144m"
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m"

The memory mentioned here in numbers is in terms of MB.
The first line is minimum JVM allocated, the second line is maximum JVM allocated and the third line is the default.

Based on the kind of RAM present in your server you can accordingly increase all the three lines.

The higher the memory you are able to allocate better the performance you will be able to see.

Once you have made the changes please save this file “setenv.sh” at the location “C:\Program Files\Helical Insight\hi\apache-tomcat-7\bin” and then restart the server.

If you login as admin then on the home page you will be able to see the increased memory configuration.

Then make sure to restart HelicaInsight application. Restarting the application generally take a bit time.

You can restart the service by running the following set of commands. Please note that all the above commands must be run with sudo permissions.::

service HelicalInsight stop

service HelicalInsight start
