customize jvm.properties

Hi Olivier,

I think you can modify vmarg.Xmx of deploy\jvm.properties file in the Notes 9 installation package. After upgrade to Notes 9, the new vmarg.Xmx property will be written into NOTESDIR\framework\rcp\deploy\jvm.properties. But it will also overwrite the original jvm.properties file. So if you have any customized porperties in previous jvm.properties, you need to merge them in the file of Notes 9 installation package.

Hope this helps.

Thx for your reply. This file is overwritten when I apply an interim fix so I can't use your solution.

I coded a .bat to install automatically Notes 9 and IF3, so I have put some extra code to change the jvm.properties like that :

FOR /F "usebackq tokens=1,* delims==" %%a IN ("%JVMPROPERTIESFILENAME%") DO (
IF "%%b"=="" (
echo %%a>> "%JVMPROPERTIESFILENAMETMP%"
) ELSE (
IF "%%a"=="vmarg.Xmx" (
ECHO %DATE% %TIME% %%a=%%b vers %%a=-Xmx1024m
echo %%a=-Xmx768m>> "%JVMPROPERTIESFILENAMETMP%"
) ELSE (
IF "%%a"=="vmarg.Xms" (
ECHO %DATE% %TIME% %%a=%%b vers %%a=-Xms256m
echo %%a=-Xms256m>> "%JVMPROPERTIESFILENAMETMP%"
) ELSE (
IF "%%a"=="vmarg.Xmca" (
ECHO %DATE% %TIME% %%a=%%b vers %%a=-Xmca512k
echo %%a=-Xmca512k>> "%JVMPROPERTIESFILENAMETMP%"
) ELSE (
echo %%a=%%b>> "%JVMPROPERTIESFILENAMETMP%"
)
)
)
)
)

DEL /Q "%JVMPROPERTIESFILENAME%"
MOVE /Y "%JVMPROPERTIESFILENAMETMP%" "%JVMPROPERTIESFILENAME%"

Try this

While your notes client is up try copying a good copy of the file to the correct location. Close down the client and check the to make sure the new file is still intact ( did not get over ridden by closing down of notes client). If all is good you can email all you users a button that would with have code to copy the file over from a share or open a file for output an do print statements of all the lines needs in the new file.

At the end of you code you might want to instruct the user to reboot the pc.
