Controlling client JVM settings

Beginning with HCL Notes 12.0.1, notes.ini settings are available to apply custom JVM setting values to the standard Notes client and Domino Designer client.

About this task

These customizations are useful for adjusting memory when performance for a particular JVM component is slow.

When Notes starts, it checks for these ini settings, and when a custom setting is found, it ignores the default value in the java.properties file.
  • The custom JVM values persist after a Notes upgrade.
  • If you configure a custom value but later remove its setting, when the client restarts, it reverts to using the default value in java.properties.
You can customize the following settings. For each value that you want to customize, use the notes.ini setting WCT_<argument>=<value>, where <argument> is the setting name and <value> is the desired value. For example: WCT_vmarg.xmx=-xmx256m.
