For all three scenario's that the Servoy Application Server can be started (as a service, manual stand-alone or manual clustered), the value for the Java Perm Space is controlled by the 'XX:MaxPermSize' setting in the above mentioned configuration location for java 7 or for java 8:

-XX:MetaspaceSize=60M 200M -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=60M 200M -XX:MinMetaspaceFreeRatio=0 -XX:MaxMetaspaceFreeRatio=100

Running big servers with big heaps for many Web/NGClients

For large heaps (more then 4G) that needs to handle quite a lot of Web or NGClients the vm needs some tuning to be able to handle this nicely.

Use the latest Java 8 and use the G1 Garbagabe collector for this and make sure that the initial heap and the maximum heap ist just set to the same value:

-server -Xms4G -Xmx4G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MetaspaceSize=200M -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=200M -XX:MinMetaspaceFreeRatio=0 -XX:MaxMetaspaceFreeRatio=100

Where the 4G for the initial (Xms) and the max (Xmx) should be set to the maximum heap you want or can assign to the java vm.
