Increasing the Memory Settings of an eG Agent on Linux

To increase the memory settings of the eG agent on Linux, do the following:

  1. Stop the eG agent.
  2. Edit the start_agent file in the /opt/egurkha/bin directory.

  3. Look for the entry -Xmx in the file. If you do not find it, then, insert an entry of the following format:

    Xmx<Memory_allocation_to_the _eG_agent>M

    For instance, if you want to allocate 2 GB (i.e., 2048 MB) of memory to the eG agent, your –Xmx specification should be as follows:

    Xmx2048M

    On the other hand, if you find the entry in the start_agent file, then simply alter the <Memory_allocation_to_the _eG_agent> to suit your specific needs.

  4. Finally, save the file.
