Dear,
I have a development machine with WBIMB, DB2, MQ, Agent, ... installed on it. But sometimes it takes ages for my laptop to open message flows, save, debug ,...
The current config is Petium IV 1,7 GHz
1G RAM But memory usage is commonly above 1.5 G
What would be the preffered configuration?
Thnx |

First, have you increased the JVM heap for your Toolkit?

Yep increased to 500 MB.
from the moment the Toolkit is running for a few hours together with DB Command Center and a few other java based tools. The Swap partition on my harddisk increases up to 1.5 - 1.75 GB. The available memory in the RAM is reduced to 150 - 300 MB.
This means heave harddisk traffic and slow PC. When saving big Mapping files (With idoc structures,...) the Memory increases the whole time while CPU usage is 100% for several minutes (up to 20 min).
I've read on the IBM website that they recommend up to 2GB and more and the most powerfull CPU. Is this the only way?
And if it is then it would be nice if I had some recommandation from other developers and their Hardware. |

Hi,
Sorry to butt in but do you have a url for this information? It would be very useful if I had an IBM site with this information for a hardware upgrade I am currently requesting!
Thanks,
Vicky |

| Sorry, can't find this recommended system back. I think it was in a RedBook. But don't know where anymore |

Same here!! Infact I am thinking of asking PC with 1 GB RAM. It'll be a while before I can get it running on my laptop though.

You do so by setting the -Xms extension to the mqsistudio.exe. |

<<install root>>eclipse\mqsistudio.exe -vmargs -Xms300mb -Xmx600mb |

I found a recommendation for 1GB of RAM in section 2.1.4 of this redbook:
SG247090 - WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker Basics (top of the links sticky)
| Quote: |
The minimum amount of system memory for the Message Brokers Toolkit is 512 MB, although it may run slowly, and 1 GB of RAM would be the recommended amount.
System memory that is required for the prerequisite software also must be given consideration. |
Now to persuade someone holding the purse strings.... |
