#JAVA CONTROL PANEL MAX HEAP SIZE MANUAL#

The Heap values can be set any number of ways depending upon the actual product version of WebSphere, but typically from the Admin Console JVM process settings, from the Generic JVM Args (-Xmx -Xms), WSAdmin command-line interface, Startup and Deployment scripts, manual server.xml modification (not recommended) and so forth more details and step-by-step instructions can be found in the corresponding WebSphere product documentation based upon product version, as well as related developWorks articles and Blog entries. To navigate to the right area to set -Xmn, see " Setting generic JVM arguments in WebSphere Application Server." The concept of the GENCON GC Policy resizing heap regions was to keep them smaller for faster GC Cycles, but we have found out that in practice the overhead of this resizing often makes GC very inefficient. Without -Xmn, the nursery region defaults to approximately 25% of the max heap size, but it is Variable and not Fixed. You can fix the nursery size with a Generic JVM argument of -Xmn#m (example: -Xmn1024m for a 1Gb nursery region). Now regarding the Minimum Heap value, we have found that when using the newer product versions WAS v8.x and v9.x with default GC Policy of GENCON, setting a 'Fixed Heap' works and performs best (Maximum Heap Size = Minimum Heap Size) as well as a 'Fixed Nursery'.

*Remember that the WAS Java process shares a 16 Terabyte memory address space with the OS in accordance with 64 bit design specification (User Virtual Memory is 8T).

For Node Agents and Deployment Manager, depending upon how many nodes are managed serviced and how many application deployments occur, you can probably utilize less heap memory, between (2048M - 4096M) or (2G - 4G).

#JAVA CONTROL PANEL MAX HEAP SIZE 32 BIT#

*Remember that the WAS Java process shares a 4 Gigabyte memory address space with the OS in accordance with 32 bit design specification (User Virtual Memory is 2G).įor 64 bit platforms and Java stacks in general, the recommended Maximum Heap range for WebSphere Application Server, would be between (4096M - 8192M) or (4G - 8G). *But the Default out-of-the-box configuration value of 256M is most likely too low a value in most use-case scenarios. For Node Agents and Deployment Manager, depending upon how many nodes are managed serviced and how many application deployments occur, you can probably utilize less heap memory, between (512M - 1024M) or (.5G - 1G) may suffice. Ideally, you will need to test appropriate values in your own environments and topologies, based upon application architecture, number of applications running, how busy the AppServer is and underlying load conditions, how much physical memory or RAM is installed and running, how many JVMs are being hosted and what other additional Java and native memory processes are running on the same machine.įor 32 bit platforms and Java stacks in general, the recommended Maximum Heap range for WebSphere Application Server (WAS), would be between (1024M - 1536M) or (1G - 1.5G) higher values will most likely eventually result in Native Memory contention.

This blog is simply a starting point or general reference based upon daily observations in the technical support arena, it is not intended to be a solution for every situation, but moreover a general set of starting recommendations. One of the most common problems reported in WebSphere Java support is, "OutofMemory" condition (Java or Native). One of the most common questions asked in WebSphere Java support is, "What is the recommended Maximum Heap size?"
