Memory Heap

There are cases where the user may need to increase the memory heap to either avoid project timeouts, performance issues, etc from occurring with larger projects. To do this, the user would follow the below steps on a Windows machine.

Increase Memory Heap

The way to increase the memory heap for the service follow the steps below:

  1. Go to your FIN Stack notification icon in the tray
  2. Right click and select Stop to stop the service
  3. Right click again and select Configure...
  4. Once open, select the Java tab
  5. There, the user will increase the "Maximum memory pool" to something their system is capable of handling depending on space available. Use increments of '512'.
  6. Apply and right click again to Start the service for it to take effect

Don't see FIN Stack notification icon in the tray?

There might be cases where the user might not be able to find the notification icon in the tray due to the machine having been restarted/rebooted. When this happens, follow the below steps to get it back.

  1. Go to your Start menu and search for "FIN Stack"
  2. As you type, "FIN Stack Service Manager" should appear in the available options
  3. Right click on it and select to "Run As Administrator"
  4. That should then launch it and appear in the notifications tray
