Increase Memory to Tomcat - BI 4.1

Hi, All

We have clustered BI environment(4.1SP6). I notice we have 2gb memory on Tomcat Configuration(Java tab) for each BI server and have 35gb memory on each server.

Can anyone please let me know what is the best practice on the memory to set on Tomcat configuration for each server. We have at least 35-40 users login into BI launch pad at any given time.

Thank you for the help!

I have ours set to 10GB, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it about 3.

Ok. Is 10GB on Individual server of BI or 2 servers of BI.

If we keep the Initial memory to 2GB then what will be the Max memory pool need to set to.(4 or 8…etc).

Well, it depends on the actual activity on your servers. In my case, I chose 10GB because previously we were occasionally getting OOM errors when very large reports were accessed. You can use monitoring tools (I use psi-probe) to watch Tomcat’s memory usage, and adjust accordingly.
