====== Orbit Startup Configurations ====== This page describes some Orbit desktop startup configurations you might want to adjust but which are (currently) not available as user preference. \\ ==== Language ==== English is used as default language. Set the language name to start Orbit in another available language. \\ The Orbit team only maintains English translations, interest in translating contact sales@orbitgt.com * File : ''/program/config/orbitgis.ini'' * Parameter : ''system.languagename'' * Value : deutsch, english, espagnol, francais, greek, hebrew, nederlands, polski, russian, turkce * Example for Spanish \\ system.languagename espagnol ==== Memory Use ==== Get more Orbit out your powerful machine. Raise the amount of memory (RAM) that can be used by an Orbit 64bit installation. \\ When using a **64bit Orbit installation** on a **64bit operating system** it is possible to raise the amount of memory (RAM) that can be used by Orbit. This is even recommended when handling big files or running heavy calculations. === Set Maximum Memory usage === The maximum amount of memory that you can allocate to Orbit depends on your hardware specifications and the number of applications running concurrently on the device. Reserve at least 2GB for your Operating System. 1. Edit the Orbit configuration file in the bin folder of your Orbit installation (use a text editor, e.g. Notepad) : * Orbit desktop Standalone : ../program/bin/Orbit.ini * Orbit desktop Client : ../client/program/bin/OrbitClient.ini * Orbit Server : ../server/program/bin/ServiceInstall.bat 2. Update the maximum used memory value, but save at least 2GB for your Operating System : * Orbit desktop Standalone and Client : -Xmx[Value]m * Orbit Server : JAVA_MAX_MEMORY_MB=[Value] This value is expressed in Mega Bytes, examples values : * 1GB : 1024 * 2GB : 2048 * 4GB : 4096 * 6GB : 6144 * 8GB : 8192 * ... 3. Restart Orbit to take advantage of the newly set maximum memory use : * Orbit desktop Standalone and Client : Restart desktop application * Orbit Server : Re-install the Orbit Service, execute in this order : ServiceStop, ServiceRemove, ServiceInstall, ServiceStart.bat. Read more, [[112:eos:concepts:service|]]. === Minimum vs Maximum Memory usage === We advise to set a maximum memory use that can be used by Orbit. \\ If no maximum has been set Java will allocate by default 1/4 of the total available memory. When using 32bit this is fix 256M. ==== Http or Https Proxy ==== Parameters to set Orbit Java VM http proxy arguments : * File : ''/program/Orbit.ini'' \\ Add proxy configuration in between the -Xmx and -splash arguments. * Parameters for Http : -Dhttp.proxyHost, Dhttp.proxyPort, Dhttp.proxyUser, Dhttp.proxyPassword * Parameters for Https : -Dhttps.proxyHost, Dhttps.proxyPort, Dhttps.proxyUser, Dhttps.proxyPassword * Example for Http \\ -Dhttp.proxyHost=0.0.0.0 -Dhttp.proxyPort=0000 -Dhttp.proxyUser=xxx -Dhttp.proxyPassword=xxx ==== Map-Tabs split view ratio ==== Parameter to to set the startup split screen ratio of Map and Tabs : * File : ''/program/config/orbitgis.ini'' * Parameter : ''app.element.orbitgis_extensions_tab.parameter_value'' * Value range : 0.00 - 1.00 * Example : \\ app.element.orbitgis_extensions_tab.parameter_value 0.80
