For a while I was pretty unsuccessful today at changing the PASOE heap size on Windows. The PASOE jvm runs in a process called "tomcat8.exe". (more here Apache Tomcat 8 (8.0.53) - Windows service HOW-TO ) It runs that way after you register your instance as a service (tcman service oepas1 register). But the default max heap is fairly low for a production environment (I think it was 1 GB). I was attempting to change it in jvm.properties within the conf directory of my instance (per this KB: Progress KB - How to increase the Java Heap Memory of a PASOE Tomcat JVM? ) My changes would never take effect no matter what I did. The KB is incomplete where Windows is concerned. Finally I gave up and unregistered the windows service altogether: proenv>C:\OpenEdge\WRK\oepas1\bin\tcman service oepas1 unregister oepas1 is unregistered proenv>C:\OpenEdge\WRK\oepas1\bin\tcman service oepas1 register oepas1 service is registered proenv>C:\OpenEdge\WRK\oepas1\bin\tcman service oepas1 start That seems to have finally caused the max heap to change.The best way to verify is by looking at the tomcat manager. http://localhost:8815/manager/status Hope this helps anyone else who may be trying to run PASOE on windows.
