How to give more memory to Lotus Notes in Linux

You are here because Lotus Notes is working very slow. Well, this is because the default memory limit is too low. In order to fix this, you have to do the following:

1. Close lotus notes and zap it, to be sure it is closed indeed.

2. Check for

jvm.properties

in the following path:
- if Lotus Notes 8:

/opt/IBM/lotus/notes/framework/rcp/deploy/

.
- if Lotus Notes 9:

/opt/ibm/notes/framework/rcp/deploy/

.

3. Open

jvm.properties

and search for:

vmarg.Xmx=-Xmx256m

Replace it with

vmarg.Xmx=-Xmx768m

and save the file.

4. Open Lotus Notes and feel the difference.
Of course, you can give more memory if you want. The end!
