Sometimes it is necessary to increase the memory size allocated to OpenSpirit data connectors to better their performance.  Instructions follow:

WARNING:  increasing the memory size might not solve the problem; there might be a memory leak or some other reason that is causing DC memory problems.

Unix Data Connectors (example OpenWorks)

• these data connectors usually have run scripts 
• go to the master/satellite location and the plugins directory of the data connector you want to change
  (e.g.  $OSP_HOME/plugins/OpenWorks_R5000)
• look for the run script (e.g. runOpenWorksServer.sh)
• search for OSP_HEAP_SIZE or Xmx  (e.g.  OSP_HEAP_SIZE="4000m"     ←   that is 4 GB)
• modify the run script and change the memory size; making it too big is not a good thing because it could cause the Data Connector not to start; we suggest gradual increases
• make sure the run script is still executable
• the clients have to restart their Data Connector to pick up the new change

PC Data Connectors

• this is more complicated because there is not a run script for the customer to modify
• the customers have to contact OpenSpirit Support and tell them what is wrong and which OSP runtime and Data Connector versions they are using.
