Change memory allocation


How to change the default memory allocation of the censhare clients.


Context

  • This configuration is valid for the censhare Client, censhare Admin Client and censhare Render Client.

  • Setup is identical for v2, v3 and v4.

For Java 11 clients, do not try to define this in [JVMOptionsUser] as this will not be recognized.

macOS (Java 8)

  • Right-click on the application file named censhareClient(.app) and choose Show Package Contents (german: Paketinhalt zeigen).

  • Change to directory contents.

  • Open the file named Info.plist in a text editor (e.g. TextWrangler)

  • Go to the following line and change the "-Xmx" property:

    <string> -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -ea:com.censhare... </string>


  • The property Xmx stands for the maximum memory, which the client can allocate. 

  • After a client restart, changes become active.

macOS (Java 11)

See steps above but open the file in .app/Contents/Java/censhare Client.cfg, and search for: 

[JVMOptions]
-Xms256m
-Xmx4096m

Windows

  • Open the file "cenhare Client.lap", which you can find in the same directory layer as the application file "censhare Client.exe".

  • Go to the following line and change the "-Xmx" property:

    --- snip ---
-Xms256m -Xmx1024m
--- snap ---


  • The property Xmx stands for the maximum memory, which the client can allocate. 

  • After a client restart, changes become active.
