Configuring Apache Tomcat

After installing Tomcat as part of the DivePort install wizard, you need to verify the size of the Maximum memory pool and select the Use default box under the Java tab of the Tomcat<version #> Properties dialog box.

The maximum memory pool is the memory that can be allocated to the JVM. It is also known as the "Tomcat Heap".

The initial Tomcat Heap for a standard DI installation should be 4GB (4096MB). If a customer needs to exceed 10GB, they should contact DI Technical Support to help them diagnose their environment and suggest possible tuning options.

Complete the following steps:

  1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the Tomcat bin directory at C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\bin.

  2. In the bin directory, double-click the tomcat9w.exe file.

    The ClosedTomcat9 Properties dialog box opens.

    The Tomcat7 Properties window.

  3. On the General tab, verify that the Startup type is set to Automatic and that the Service Status is Started.

  4. On the ClosedJava tab, verify that the Maximum memory pool is set to 4096 MB.

    The Tomcat7 Properties Java tab.

  5. To implement any changes, click Stop then Start in the Service Status section on the General tab.
  6. Click Apply.

  7. To verify that the Tomcat service is working on your machine, open a browser and type http://<DiveLine server>:8080 in the URL box. 8080 is the default port number for the Tomcat webserver.

    For example, http://jsmith-001:8080.

    The following Apache Tomcat confirmation page appears in your browser window:
