Allocating more RAM to the Fishbowl Server and Client

By default, Fishbowl will only use 256 MB of RAM. If you have 1 GB of RAM, you can turn up your available RAM to 512 MB. (We don’t recommend setting the available RAM higher than 1/4-1/2 of your total system memory.)

To adjust your Memory Usage settings, open Fishbowl Server.lax (C:\Program Files\Fishbowl\Server\bin\Fishbowl Server.lax) in Notepad. Once open, scroll down until you see:

           # LAX.NL.JAVA.OPTION.ADDITIONAL

           # ----------------------------- # The value of this property will be written to the command line verbatim. Java VM properties or settings   not directly supported by current LAX configuration properties can be directly included as part of the command line used toinvoke Java.

           lax.nl.java.option.additional=-Xverify:none -Xms32M –Xmx256M

You may change the “256” to “512” so it will read:

           lax.nl.java.option.additional=-Xverify:none -Xms32M –Xmx512M

Once you have done this, save the file and restart your Fishbowl Server.

The process is the same for the client. The only difference is the File Name and Location. You will need to open Fishbowl Client.lax (C:\Program Files\Fishbowl\Client\bin\Fishbowl Client.lax).
