JVM Heap Size

The objects (such as Projects, Line Items, Resources, etc.) are stored in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) heap allocation. Most of these objects are short-lived and are periodically cleaned up by the JVM’s garbage collection mechanism. As the number of objects increases, performance and scalability is affected by the available heap space in the JVM. Increasing the heap size is an easy way to achieve desired performance and scalability.

To increase the Workstation JVM heap size

1.Edit <installation-directory>/bin/CostOS.l4j.ini

2.ChangeXmx value(ex. -Xmx8000m). Default value is -Xmx3800m

FAQ. 1.  Q(STEP 7) I get error messages during the waiting process. What should I do?

A. Make sure you have enough privileges to access the folder you are trying to install CostOS Workstation on. Also, there might just not be enough size on the disk, or there is someone still running CostOS Workstation.

If you are not sure about this, contact your System Administrator or IT Manager.
