How can I decrease RAM used by Pentaho Server?

Question

I do'nt have enough RAM to run Pentaho Server, just 4Gb of ram, now I'm on Linux and I'm running the ctlscript.sh file to enable the server but I have others process running and this makes my computer have lag. Any idea about that?

I really need to use this tool but now I don't have chance to buy more Ram in this moment.

I have swap but it is not enough for me.

[EDIT]
I'm just trying to user User console of Pentaho

Which version you are using ? Community or paid version ? Why you want to execute ctlscript.sh file , where it is located.. seems like you are doing something not proper ... — Helping Hand.., May 29 '18 at 05:28

You can disable plugins you don't need. By default there are a number of plugins installed with Pentaho and if you don't need a particular one you can disable it.

Once you've disabled enough plugins you should be able to decrease the value of the Xmx startup parameter on your start-pentaho.sh script and it should still work.

Plugins are all installed in your pentaho-solutions/system folder. Any sub-folder that has a plugin.xml file is a plugin. If you rename that file to anything else (e.g., plugin.xml.disabled) it won't be loaded. It's still there if you need to enable it later, but it won't take up any resources.

Edit the start-pentaho.sh, find the line defining the CATALINA_OPTS variable, and downsize the -Xmx [Maximum memory allocated to the JVM].

Then stop-pentaho/start-pentaho.
