Some earlier posts on server memory settings:
http://www.awareim.com/forum/viewtopic. ... ght=memory

1) Tomcat memory should be increased if you have many concurrent users
2) JBoss memory should be increased if you transfer large chunks of data between client and server - such as large documents and/or pictures
3) Configuration Tool memory should be increased if your BSV is large
4) The rest is Aware IM Server - all other issues related to the application performance, such as rule processing, database operations etc etc etc. The Aware IM Server is the most important component and you should give it as much memory as your server allows

Multi-processing capabilities depend on the version of Java used. You can run Aware IM with any Java version, including 64-bit. It's very easy to replace the built-in Java version with the version of your choice. We have no plans yet to integrate 64-bit out-of-the-box just yet.

Hi Support

Above you state:

On Mac Aware IM does NOT include its own Java - it uses the Java version setup in the operating system. So if your current Java version is 64-bit then Aware IM should use it. You still need to copy the corresponding tools.jar as recommended in this thread

Can you please confirm what happens with the Linux version of Aware? Does it use the OS Java? Do we still need to copy the corresponding tools.jar as recommended in this thread?

Tks

The easiest would be to rename AwareIM/JDK to AwareIM/JDK32 and copy 64 bit JDK to the AwareIM/JDK directory.

You also need to rename AwareIM/Tomcat/shared/lib/tools.jar to tools32.jar and copy tools.jar from the 64bit JDK to AwareIM/Tomcat/shared/lib

Will this step need to be done again each time a new AwareIM build is applied?

I work with 64bit all the time. Each time you do an update you need to copy the 64bit JDK and the tools.jar from the previous install into the new install

ACDC,
Regarding the use of 64bit Java. Does everything work in Aware IM, applications when you use 64bit? Also, do you use higher memory allocation on server, config tool etc. than the "standard" 2GB diveded and if so have you noticed much/any change in application, config tool etc performance?

Thanks

PS: If everything works and you have noticed performance increase, could you share the memory allocation settings you think work the best?

Everything works as it should, for large and complex apps you have to move to 64bit as 32bit severely restricts the scope of operation

[ACDC]

with regards to memory settings, you need to watch the memory usage in realtime of the AIM , Tomcat, Jboss servers. If your memory usage is running close to its maximum settings then you need to increase the memory to provide more head room . This means you may have to move to 64 bit if you reach the 2gb limit of a 32 bit system

So it really depends on your app and how much memory it requires to run. Also dont forget the database, sometimes it gets more efficient when you allocate more ram to the db

Thanks ACDC, I will look into start using 64bit as standard instead.

Support, having 64bit as the default package would be great. Just saying! .

Yea Support! 32bit is soooo 2010! Maybe offer 2 packages for download at least, one for each. That way legacy customers who still need 32bit will still have an option until they upgrade.
