Configuring the JVM for Windows services and .NET Web applications
Content Delivery Server Roles running as Windows services or .NET Web applications start a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). You can specify switches for these JVM calls. (To configure JVM calls from Java Web applications, refer to the documentation of your Java/JSP Web application server.)
About this task
The following Server Roles (running as Windows services or .NET Web applications) call a JVM:
On the Content Manager server:
- Tridion Content Distributor Transport Service
- Tridion Monitoring Service
On a Content Delivery server that uses IIS and/or .NET:
- Tridion Cache Channel Service
- Tridion Content Deployer
- Any Server Role running as a .NET Web application
- Tridion Monitoring Service
You configure the Java home directory and JRE version for all of these Server Roles in the registry.
In addition, each of these Server Roles has its own JVM. On a Content Manager Server, you can configure the JVM call switches for the Transport Service running on that machine (note that this also affects all other .NET Web applications and Windows services that call a JVM on that machine).
On a Content Delivery server, you can do the same as on the Content Manager server, or you can configure separate JVM settings for each Windows service or .NET Web application.
