How do I modify the Java maximum heap size to meet Smarts SAM Dashboard application requirements?
Is it possible to set the Java maximum heap size globally for all users on the system?

It is not possible to set the Java maximum heap size globally. The heap size must be set individually in the Java plugin Control Panel of the JRE each web browser uses. This is done as follows:

1. Open the Java Run Time Parameters dialog as follows:
   
   Windows > Control Panel > Java > Java Control Panel > Java Tab > Java Applet Runtime Settings > View > Java Run Time Parameters
   
    
2. Add the "Xmx..." parameter to specify the desired Java maximum heap size for the Smarts SAM Dashboard application. The following will set the Java maximum heap size to 300M:
   
   -Xmx300M
