Increase Java heap size of Windows Slave

[gotvi...@gmail.com]

We have a Windows 2016 Slave.  The slave gets disconnected due to heap memory maxing out.  How to increase the heap size to tackle this issue?  This is a bit urgent please.

It does depend on how that particular windows agent is launched. The below references can help you:

Thanks a lot Victor.  This helps.

I suggest you try configuring it at the configuration page for the node in Jenkins. Look under the Advanced button for JVM options.

Yes Jeff.  That's where I configured.
