Step 1: Modify the Tomcat startup script

CATALINA_OPTS indicates the amount of memory to allocate. It also indicates where Pentaho licenses are installed.

Note: The startup process will fail if an environment variable setting is not valid or is incorrect. When modifying any environment variable in the startup file, make sure its setting is valid and correct.

Perform the following steps to include the CATALINA_OPTS variable:

1. Copy all the JAR files from the server\pentaho-server\pentaho-solutions\native-lib\win64 folder to the ~\webapps\pentaho\WEB-INF\lib folder.

2. Add the LIBPATH variable to the Tomcat startup.bat file as follows:

   set LIBPATH=~\native-lib\win64

3. Make sure the Tomcat web application server is not running by starting the Windows Task Manager and looking for Tomcat in the Applications tab.

   If the server is running, stop it.

4. Use a text editor to open the startup.bat file, which is in the pentaho\server\pentaho-server\tomcat\bin directory.

5. Add this line before the CATALINA_HOME section:

   SET DI_HOME=%~dp0..\..\pentaho-solutions\system\kettle

6. Add the java option pentaho.license.information.file to the CATALINA_OPTS variable.

   You need to modify the setting of CATALINA_OPTS variable by adding the java option. See the following example.

   SET CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms4096m -Xmx6144m -Djava.library.path=%LIBPATH% -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000 -Dpentaho.license.information.file=%PENTAHO_LICENSE_INFORMATION_PATH% -DDI_HOME=%DI_HOME%

7. Save and close the file.
