I’m looking for some memory management help. I have a client that I want to launch, however it is on a system with strict memory management requirements. I want to ensure the client can consume no more than somewhere in the range of 40-80 MB ram. Unfortunately the project properties do not allow me to go below 64M, that plus the java wrapper puts me running around 110-130M memory. I tried modifying the JNLP, but was still not able to get much improvement. The client project itself is very minimal and used to display only 2-3 tags and ~5 seconds poll rate. Its primary purpose is to provide remote execution and control over some programs on the client system. Any suggestions on how to “strip down” a project and turn it into a flying gas can would be greatly appreciated. Our fallback plan is to write a windows tray application in C# to perform the necessary functionality, but I would rather use Ignition for all I can. In the end I will have about 150 of these clients running. ---

My first thought was maybe a mobile client (use of VNC or similar), but 150 of those at once may be a bit taxing on the server. ---

That was supports suggestion as well. 😃 yes, way to taxing for mobile and in this case not possible as I need the client to execute things in the command line on the local Windows machine. (I don’t think mobile can do that). ---

Ignition is going to send all possible module jars to the client. Consider setting up a server with just the modules you need – strip out reporting, sfc, etc. Basically, kill any module with client scope that you don’t need for these displays. ---

Interesting, I did not know that. It is worth a shot, although unfortunately that would require me to license another gateway. I’ll try doing it this week. ---

For a simple screen with 3 tags, you may try using the webdev module. ---
