Increasing Heap Memory for the Spatial Remote Component

To increase the heap memory for the Location Intelligence Module remote component that handles spatial service requests:

  1. Stop the Spectrum™ Technology Platform server.
  2. In a text editor, open the java.vmargs file from <Installed>\Pitney Bowes\Spectrum\server\modules\spatial\java.vmargs.
  3. Change the vmargs default of 2GB (2048MB). For example, to increase the memory of the remote component to 4GB, change the vmargs from the default of -Xmx2048m to -Xmx4096m. Do not exceed the maximum memory available to your operating system and leave a suitable space for the operating system to do its work.
  4. Save the java.vmargs file.
  5. Restart the Spectrum™ Technology Platform server.
