Custom JVM Settings for FID Windows Service - V7.4.7

Product: FID

Version: v7.4.7

Question: How to customize JVM settings in v7.4.7 if FID is setup as Windows service.

Answer: 

In terms of the product itself, editing VDSServer.config is no longer relevant (from v7.4.7) when changing the JVM settings for Windows Services. The correct way to do it is now to edit the batch files under radiantone\vds\bin\windows.service ---- edit the fid-server-service-install.bat. 

Steps to follow:

1. Uninstall fid-server services. Navigate to <RLI_HOME>\vds\bin\windows.service ----- run fid-server-services-uninstall.bat
2. Right click on fid-server-service-install.bat and Edit with Notepad++
3. Add the following parameters 
   --JvmMs=4096^
   --JvmMx=32768^
   ++JvmOptions="-XX:HeapDumpPath=%RLIHOME%\%INSTANCENAME%\logs\GC"^
   
4. Install services --- Navigate to <RLI_HOME>\vds\bin\windows.service ---- run fid-server-service-install.bat
5. This should pick the changes.

Note: Please make sure you edit the VDSServer.config file as well to maintain consistency of JVM settings in your environment.
