    https://sametime.example.com:8701/ibm/console

  2. Click System Administration > Deployment manager.
  3. Look in the "Server Infrastructure" section, and click Java and Process Management > Process Definition.
  4. In the "Additional properties" section, click Java Virtual Machine.
  5. In the Maximum Heap Size field, type 2048 as the new maximum heap size.
