Hi @Matt Doar Thanks for your response

So instead of 1024m  i need to change to 2048m by running the command   vi setenv sh that's it right correct me if i'm wrong here please.

Thanks,

Yes, though you could also use emacs

Hi @Matt Doar Thanks for your response i'm performing like this correct me if i'm wrong 

1) Stop Jira

2) /jira/bin  vi stenv  sh

3) JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY="768m"
  JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY="1024m"  //  changed to "2048m"

 :wq!

4) start jira

That's it  right i'm performing like this can you please correct me if i'm doing anything wrong

Thanks,

Kumar

That is the general idea. Make sure you are comfortable with the editor you choose to use.

Use shutdown.sh rather than stop-jira.sh to avoid a kill-9 corrupting the Lucene index files

 Hi @  Thanks for your response

Usually when I shutdown and start my jira application before starting the jira I will use 

kill -9 1234 // some root number

i will kill the root and i will start the jira 

so you are saying me that while i'm performing this function are you saying to avoid to kill the root ???

Thanks,

Kumar
