For the Application Server, configure the JVM Settings to add, change, or delete the following JVM Options:

If you are installing Glassfish in a production environment, follow these steps:

Delete the following options:

-Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000
-Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000

Add the following options:
-XX:MaxPermSize=192m  
-XX:+AggressiveHeap 
-Xss128k 
-XX:+DisableExplicitGC
-Dcom.sun.enterprise.ss.ASQuickStartup=false
To install on a multi-processor machine, add the following: -XX:+UseParallelOldGC
To enable the optional HANDLE.NET installation and provide access to study ID registration, add the following (see Install HANDLE.NET for details):-Ddvn.handle.baseUrl=<Dataverse Network host URL>/dvn/study?globalId=hdl:-Ddvn.handle.auth=<authority>
To enable the optional Google Analytics option on the Network Options page and provide access to site usage reports, add the following (see Configure Google Analytics for details):  -Ddvn.googleanalytics.key=<googleAnalyticsTrackingCode>
Configure the following option only if you run multiple instances of the GlassFish server for load balancing. This option controls which GlassFish instance runs scheduled jobs, such as harvest or export.
For the server instance that will run scheduled jobs, include the following JVM option:-Ddvn.timerServer=true
For all other server instances, include this JVM option:-Ddvn.timerServer=false
If you are installing Glassfish in either a production or development environment, follow these steps:
- Change the following options’ settings:
  Change -client to -server.
  Change -Xmx512m to whatever size you can allot for the maximum Java heap space.
  Set –Xms512m to the same value to which you set –Xmx512m.
- To configure permanent file storage (data and documentation files uploaded to studies) set the following:  
  -Dvdc.study.file.dir=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/config/files/studies
- To configure the temporary location used in file uploads add the following:
  -Dvdc.temp.file.dir=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/config/files/temp
- To configure export and import logs (harvesting and importing), add the following:
```
-Dvdc.export.log.dir=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/logs/export
-Dvdc.import.log.dir=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/logs/import
```
- Add the following:
  -Djhove.conf.dir=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/config
  -Ddvn.inetAddress=<host or fully qualified domain name of server on which Dataverse Network runs>
  -Ddvn.networkData.libPath=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/applications/j2ee-apps/DVN-EAR
- To manage calls to RServe and the R host (analysis and file upload), add the following:
  -Dvdc.dsb.host=<RServe server hostname>
  -Dvdc.dsb.rserve.user=<account>
  -Dvdc.dsb.rserve.pwrd=<password>
  -Dvdc.dsb.rserve.port=<port number>
  See Install R for information about configuring these values in the Rserv.conf file.
  These settings must be configured for subsetting and analysis to work.
- To configure search index files set the following: 
  -Ddvn.index.location=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/config
- To use the optional customized error logging and add more information to your log files, set the following:  
  -Djava.util.logging.config.file= ${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/config/logging.properties
  Note: To customize the logging, edit the logging.properties file
- The default size limit for file downloads is 100MB. To override this default add the following JVM option:
  -Ddvn.batchdownload.limit=<max download bytes>
