Ignition

Hello!

i would like to modify my ignition.conf so I can have more memory for my perspective project with:

wrapper.java.maxmemory=4096

But I can´t as it´s running somewhere else, I guess the gateway. Can I stop the gateway for a while?

Hi,
To start/stop your Ignition service, you can follow this doc from IA:

If you are running your gateway in a Windows machine with an interface, you can also start/stop/restart your gateway from Window's "Services" application.

Thanks Riccardo. This seem quiet complex, I wonder if I need do this to save my ignition.conf

Yes you do.

That utility is something you will need to become familiar with.

You must be an admin to edit that file, same as for installing Ignition.

Yes!, thank you!

For Windows server 2012 and some others in order to edit ignition.conf as administrator
You have to
-run command propmt as administrator
-go to the folder in wich ignition.conf is
-type: notepad ignition.conf
-change the value of the wrapper.java.maxmemory

and save it!
