Installing SICS Batch Server on Linux

Please note that the instructions in this document are based on installing Java and Tomcat in Windows. For installation on Linux distributions please refer to documentation from Sun and Apache, alternatively the package distribution system of the platform.

Nevertheless the instructions given in this document also apply for Linux with the following exceptions/notes.

Make sure to substitute backslashes in paths \ with forward slashes /.

Furthermore it is vital that Tomcat is started up with the Java VM arguments given in section 5.3 “Install Tomcat version 10.1”. Use the appropriate tool to configure Tomcat’s startup command line.

The Java VM heap size is given by the arguments:
-Xms
and
-Xmx

For instance -Xms512m -Xmx1024m instructs Java to allocate 512 MB of heap space and 1024 MB.

After Tomcat has started, you may run this command in a consolde window:

ps -aef | grep java

That should give you the complete command line used by Tomcat to start up. Make sure -Xms and -Xmx settings are present.
