VetView does not require an special installation, in our test environment we use Tomcat 7 for Windows x64. During the installation we use all the default settings, allocating 3-4 GB of RAM for use. This amount a memory may very based on your user load.

Example Setup:

• • Oracle Version - 11g Release 2 for Windows x64
  • 4GB of RAM available to the Tomcat

Tomcat by default installs a manager page that can be accessed using the Tomcat Administrator Login that was created during the installation.

Example Tomcat Manager URL: 

• http://<IP address of web server>:8080/manager/html

By default Tomcat Memory is configured for initial memory pool of 128MB and a maximum of 256MB.

There are 4 memory settings that we recommend you adjust based on user load. To adjust the memory settings you either set the appropriate environment variable or the Tomcat configuration tool for windows.

• Initial memory pool ( Heap memory ) - 128MB
• Max memory pool ( Heap memory ) - 3072MB
• Initial Perm Gen - 128MB
• Max Perm Gen - 1024MB

Linux

You need to use the set of "non standard" options that are passed to the java command. Run: java -X for details. The options you're looking for are -Xmx and -Xms (this is "initial" heap size) plus perm size.

Tomcat comes with a batch script that looks for the JAVA_OPTS environment variable, but it's not part of the Java runtime. To set the variable like, run a command like:

set JAVA_OPTS="-Xms128m -Xmx3072m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -XX:PermSize=128m"

Windows

1. Open the Tomcat configuration tool from the Windows menu at Start > All Programs > Apache Tomcat > Tomcat Configuration.
2. Click Configure and select the Java tab.
3. At the bottom of the window, there are fields for modifying memory allocation.
4. You'll also need to add the lines for PermSize and MaxPermSize. 

   1. -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m

   2. -XX:PermSize=128m
