I am running a 2 client Vision based system on V7.9.16  
I am atempting to get the server to have more memory available, and to change the garbage collectors to G1C1.  
I a have made the required changes to ignition.conf, but it does not seem to load the changes, even if I restart the gateway?

What am I doing wrong?

Did you leave in the old GC settings? Show all of the “additional” settings from your ignition.conf.

(And yes, once correct, a restart is required.)

Thanks for the quick reply  
I was having this add-in done remotely (oldschool over the telephone step by step)

My mistake was assuming that the “hands” was following instructions.  
He was editing the wrong ignition.conf file (wrong directory).

Once I realized this, and got him to fix the actual right file, everything responded as expected.  
Sorry for the trouble. Real id10t misktake from my side.
