Configure the CCMS Scheduler's Java wrapper

The Java wrapper offers utility methods used to manipulate application values. IXIA CCMS Scheduler's wrapper.conf file identifies its Java libraries, defines the Java heap's maximum size, and identifies the type of information it logs.

About this task

To configure the CCMS Scheduler's Java wrapper:

Procedure

  1. Open the wrapper.conf file in the %SchedulerDir%/conf directory.
    Note: If this is a first-time modification of the wrapper.conf file, locate the wrapper.conf.empty file, remove the empty suffix, and save it as wrapper.conf.
  2. Edit the wrapper.java.command value so that it points to your Java executable.
    Windows example:
    #********************************************************************
    # Wrapper Java Properties
    #********************************************************************
    # Java Application
    wrapper.java.command=c:\Program Files\Java\jre<version of java>\bin\java.exe
    Linux example:
    #********************************************************************
    # Wrapper Properties
    #********************************************************************
    # Java Application
    wrapper.java.command=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_51/jre/java
  3. Configure the Java heap size:
    # Maximum Java Heap Size (in MB)
    wrapper.java.maxmemory=1024
    Note: Maximum heap size is the maximum amount of unused dynamic memory the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is allowed to allocate for Scheduler activities. The recommended value is 1024 MB.
  4. Configure the log level for Scheduler events:
    # Log Level for log file output.  (See docs for log levels)
    wrapper.logfile.loglevel=INFO
    Note: Possible event levels are listed in order of severity: DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR. Events are logged for the indicated level and all severity levels above it. For example, if you enter WARN as the level, it logs both WARN and ERROR events.
  5. Configure any additional wrapper parameters.
  6. Save and close the wrapper.conf file.
