How to adjust heap size

[Brandan Haywood]

Trying to edit the FISHEYE_OPTS value but unable to locate it on our server. we run on Linux and the original architect is not longer with the company.

How could we find the file that our instance is using to define our heap size?

Hi @Brandan Haywood and welcome,

as described in the following article https://confluence.atlassian.com/fisheye/environment-variables-960155682.html you could be able to setup jvm paramters :

Setting environment variables under Linux or Mac

There are a number of ways to set environment variables on Linux or UNIX based systems (including Mac OS X). Here are just two:

For your current user:

1. Open up a shell or terminal window
2. Type this command:

vi ~/.profile 

(vi is a text editor, you can use another if desired)
3. Add this command:

export (variable name)=(variable value)

Where (variable name) and (variable value) are the environment variable elements. For example, if the environment variable you are setting is FISHEYE_OPTS, and the variable value is -Xmx256m, you would type the following:

export FISHEYE_OPTS=-Xmx256m

Add this command on its own line at the end of the file.
4. Save, and restart your shell.

For all users in the system:

1. Open up a shell or terminal window
2. vi /etc/profile (replace vi with your favorite text editor)
3. Add export (variable name)=(variable value) on its own line at the end of the file
4. Save, and restart your shell

If you are using a GUI, you may not need to open up the shell. Instead, you might be able to open the file directly in a graphical text editor.
