I can't really change the JVM memory space.

[Peter Schmidt]

Hello,

I tried to change the maximum memory space for the JVM in ZAP's options.

The maximum value changed to 1.67 GiB, but I can't increase it any higher.

I tried changing it in the .ZAP_JVM.properties file, but there was still no change.

I figured I needed to do this with the admin account on this machine, but it didn't work.

I use ZAP 2.16.1 and Java version 8 update 471 and Java SDK 19.0.2.
The machine I use is a Hyper-V hosted virtual computer with 8 GB of RAM.
What do I need to do to set the maximum memory to around 4 GB?

Hi,

How are you launching ZAP? The exe does not use those JVM options, only
the bat.

Hi sorry i use the Zap.exe.

We cannot change the JVM settings if you use the exe.

You will need to use the bat file.

Cheers,

Simon

That's embarrassing, I found the Bat file, so it works now, thank you very much.

Kind regards,
