To ensure that the enviroment variables are set to expected values, it is recommended to set them up by using WebSphere server.env that is loaded when starting the BigFix Inventory server. Follow the procedure below:

On the computer where the BigFix Inventory server is installed, go to one of the following directories, and create or modify the server.env file.
- install_dir/wlp/usr/servers/server1/server.env
- install_dir\wlp\usr\servers\server1\server.env
Add the required settings from the table below:.
```
LOG_MEMORY=true
```
Restart the BigFix Inventoryserver.

	Example: `BIGFIX_SERVER_URL_FOR_DATASOURCE_ID_3=http://correctbigfix.acme.org:52311` The DNS name of BigFix Platform server in some specific network configuration might be different when accessing it from BigFix Inventory server and on BigFix Platform itself. As from BigFix Inventory server 10.0.14, the Scanner Catalog is hosted on BigFix Platform server, there might been need to correct the used URL included in "Scanner Distribution" fixlet. This setting allows to adjust the protocol, DNS name of the server as well as port. The value is included as-is in the created fixlet. The setting is per Data Source. Proper values of datasource_id are available in the first column of the Management > Datasources panel.
