* Right click on the file *catalina.bat* to select edit. In *catalina.bat* file, search for the command ***set CATALINA\_OPTS=***
* If *set CATALINA\_OPTS* command is found, edit the values for Xms & Xmx to 1024. Usually this command will be available in the beginning, right after the command ***set JRE\_HOME=..\jre1.7.0\_13.*** The new command must be ***CATALINA\_OPTS="-Xms1024m --Xmx1024m"***

* If *set CATALINA\_OPTS* command is not found, include the new command to edit the default values for Xms & Xmx. The new command must be ***CATALINA\_OPTS="-Xms1024m --Xmx1024m"*** and must be placed after the command ***set JRE\_HOME=..\jre1.7.0\_13***
* If **Windows service** is used to run DBSync Cloud Replication, windows service must be re-registered before running the Replication.
