Hi,

On our build server which is not a very powerful machine(!), TomCat6 is by far the hungriest of processes in terms of memory. More so than SQL Server.

I would like to be able to limit the amount of memory it tries to grab (within reason).

Is their a config setting somewhere? I had a dig around the bat files too, but I don't want to damage anything.

I'm running 4.5.4 (build 9071)

Thanks,

Olly

If Tomcat is started as service then you can try to decrease -Xmx parameter, take a look here: http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/TCD5/TeamCity+Startup+Properties#TeamCityStartupProperties-TeamCityServerisRunasWindowsService
