There is quite a lot of information about the various parameters in the mid tier guide (in the "configuring the mid-tier" chapter, cache settings section)
maxElementsInMemory is a total count that is actually ignored in favour of referenceMaxElementsInMemory, which seems to be set to 1250 by default and gets multiplied by the various factors to determine the count for each type of object. You'll run into an address space limit if you are on a 32 bit JVM regardless of the amount of RAM in the box (a little under 3GB on windows usually) so you probably aren't going to fit the full ITSM suite in memory unless you are running on a 64bit JVM. I read somewhere (in the BSM tuning guide I think) that as a rule of thumb for every 750MB of additional heap size configured over and above the recommended 1 GB you can increase this value by 1250, so that's probably a good starting point. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
