This section contains the following note:

By default, the allocated heap size for IBM Tivoli Netcool Impact is 1204 MB. If your VAMS installation 
has high event loads, you might receive alerts regarding Impact’s heap size. For example, the following 
alert might appear:

Alert: Impact's Heap size is very close to Max Heap Size! Impact's Heap using 1707M out of 

1200M, Free System Memory Available: 5499M, Impact requires at least: 1350M of memory

To prevent this issue, we recommend that you increase Impact's maximum heap size to 3072 MB to 
handle the high event loads. 

To increase the maximum heap size for Impact:

On the VAMS host device, change directory to the /bin directory for Impact:

bash-3.00# cd $NCHOME/eWAS/profiles/ImpactProfile/bin

Enter the commands shown in 

 to start the wsadmin utility and increase Impact’s heap size.
