Increasing memory allocation for large documents

AutoVue might display some large documents slowly or not at all using the default Java Runtime settings. In such cases, the default memory allocation settings can be configured.

If no error is shown:

  1. On each client computer that exhibits this problem, in Windows Control Panel, double-click Java . The Java Control Panel dialog box appears.
  2. Click the Java tab. The Java Runtime Environment Settings page appears.
  3. Click View. The Java Runtime Environment Settings dialog box appears.
  4. On the User page, type values for the -Xms and -Xmx parameters in the Runtime Parameters column. For information about these options, see java - the Java application Starter on the Oracle website.
  5. Click OK to save your changes.

Tip    We recommend entering -Xms256m -Xmx256m as a starting point for your own tests. This allocates a minimum and maximum of 256 MB of memory for the Java Runtime Environment in which AutoVue runs.

Note    These memory settings will be used for all Java applications that run on the same computer and might not be optimal for some applications.

If an error message that states ‘Error getting DMS response’ is shown:

"%AUTOVUE_ROOT%\jre\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024m <Other Parameters>
