- 4. INCREASING HEAP MEMORY PERFORMANCETWEAKS The Heap Size is the amount of memory made available for your Mirth Connect front end application. This plays a role especially when searching for messages in channels with lots of traffic. The Server Memory setting dictates the amount of memory that Mirth Connect as an engine will be able to use in the background. This allows Mirth to process large messages and handle heavy traffic.

Pair with pruning options to keep disk usage in check. Stores just the original source message. No mapped variables. Reprocess a message when you need to troubleshoot one. Deletes everything except what you see on the channel message log. Cannot reprocess a message. 1x 5x 8x

Editor's Notes
- #3 An essential element to configure in Mirth. Add information to the channel messages screen. Channel summary screen shows the Custom Metadata settings. Add clarity to message logs but all minimize storage needs.
- #5 What are recommended settings?
- #9 If you want to send data securely via an HTTP POST, you can do so by sending data to an HTTPS address. In the event that this address has a self-signed SSL certificate, you’ll want to import it into the Java Truststore on your computer. This Truststore is a file located in the /lib/security/ folder of the Java Program Files folder on the server where Mirth is installed. To edit your Truststore, there is a free application called Portecle that you can download from SourceForge.net. This is actually a Java Virtual Application, so you don’t need to install anything. Just unzip the folder that it comes in, and run the portecle.jar file as Administrator to give the application the permissions it needs to change the Truststore. On this slide you can see some screenshots showing how to import the certificate you need. Note that the little red X on the lock icon will still appear next to your HTTP Sender URL even after you have successfully imported the certificate, which can be misleading, because your data will be encrypted outgoing. Mirth Corp recommends you install their SSL Manager extension to have better certificate management on your machine. This, however, requires a paid support license with Mirth.
