Starting StrataBugs with more memory
Some operations in StrataBugs are memory-intensive, and if your machine has enough RAM, StrataBugs may run more smoothly with a larger memory allocation.
If you are using StrataBugs.exe or StrataBugs_diagnostic.exe, you can set the following environment variable to add the command line parameters described below: JSBUGS21_MEMORY, for example:
set JSBUGS21_MEMORY= -Xmx1024m
Alternatively, you can launch StrataBugs from a command prompt.
Open a command prompt window. On Windows Vista onwards, you can do this by pressing Start or the windows key on your keyboard, typing "cmd" and pressing Enter.
Navigate to the StrataBugs folder using the "cd" command.
Use the following commands to run StrataBugs:
- java -jar jsbugs2_1.jar is the basic command.
- java -Xmx256m -jar jsbugs2_1.jar runs with 256MB memory allocation. You could change the argument to a suitable amount, e.g. 512, 824, etc. The default is 128MB.
- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java" -Xmx256m -jar jsbugs2_1.jar use this to specify the location of your Java platform. You may need to do this if you are using a 64-bit version of Windows, and have both 32- and 64-bit versions of java installed (StrataBugs uses the 32-bit version).
