Setting virtual machine parameters
To set virtual machine parameters, edit the rpe-launcher.ini and rpe-studio.ini files.
About this task
| Parameter | Value | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| -Dcom.ibm.rational.rpe.doors.data | The data argument to pass to the Rational® DOORS® command
line Example: -Dcom.ibm.rational.rpe.doors.data=36677@localhost |
Rational Publishing Engine flag | You can include this flag to identify your Rational DOORS database
so that Rational Publishing Engine does not
have to identify it. Setting this value improves performance when your Rational DOORS is
stable or your document generation is set up on a computer where running the
reg.exe command is not permitted. When this flag is configured, it overrides the
value specified for the doors_param property in a document specification. You can specify this flag as either a system or a Java™ Runtime variable. Java Runtime variables take
precedence over system variables. You must set new_instance property to true when configuring this flag. |
| -Dcom.ibm.rational.rpe.doors.home | The path to the Rational DOORS
executable file Example:
-Dcom.ibm.rational.rpe.doors.home= |
Rational Publishing Engine flag | You can include this flag to identify your Rational DOORS version
so that Rational Publishing Engine does not
have to identify it. Setting this value improves performance when your Rational DOORS is
stable or your document generation is set up on a virtual machine where running the
reg.exe command is not permitted. When this flag is configured, it overrides the
value specified for the doors_home property in a document specification. You can specify this flag as either a system or a Java Runtime variable. Java Runtime variables take
precedence over system variables. You must set new_instance property to true when configuring this flag. |
| -Dosgi.configuration.area | A file path Example:
-Dosgi.configuration.area=@user.home/Application |
Standard Java flag | To change the default output location of your document generations, you can change the file path for this parameter. Specify the same value for the -Dosgi.instance.area and -Dosgi.configuration.area parameters. |
| -Dosgi.instance.area | A file path Example:
-Dosgi.instance.area=@user.home/Application |
Standard Java flag | To change the default output location of your document generations, you can change the file path for this parameter. Specify the same value for the -Dosgi.configuration.area and -Dosgi.instance.area parameters. |
| –Xmx<value>m | The Java heap setting Example: –Xmx512m |
IBM® Java Runtime Environment flag | Decrease the value for this parameter in the product configuration files to enable Rational Publishing Engine to start
on virtual machines. Increase the value to improve performance when generating large documents in other environments, not virtual machines. –Xmx is a standard Java parameter that is not unique to Rational Publishing Engine. |
