Allocating Additional Memory to Tomcat

Note: This document assumes a Windows installation

• Start the Tomcat Properties Application (for help on this see Using the Tomcat Properties application), and stop Tomcat.

• Click the Java tab to get to the page that lets you control the Java memory allocation:

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

• The standard Tomcat memory pool is not large enough for handling large medical images. The values shown in the picture above, 128 and 256, should be large enough for most applications. If you plan to have more than 1000 documents on your site, however, you should use 256 and 512 instead. After setting the memory allocation parameters, switch back to the general tab and start Tomcat, then click OK.
