Tune memory settings for application processes

If a particular process is running slowly, you can increase the amount of memory available to it by tuning a set of memory parameters. It is possible that the additional memory allocation can improve the process performance. Use the following table to identify the parameters that you can change in file gradle.properties, in the PolicyCenter installation directory.
