You can use the following configuration properties of the Data Flow server to customize how appliations are deployed.

spring.cloud.deployer.local.workingDirectoriesRoot=java.io.tmpdir # Directory in which all created processes will run and create log files.

spring.cloud.deployer.local.deleteFilesOnExit=true # Whether to delete created files and directories on JVM exit.

spring.cloud.deployer.local.envVarsToInherit=TMP,LANG,LANGUAGE,"LC_.*. # Array of regular expression patterns for environment variables that will be passed to launched applications.

spring.cloud.deployer.local.javaCmd=java # Command to run java.

spring.cloud.deployer.local.shutdownTimeout=30 # Max number of seconds to wait for app shutdown.

spring.cloud.deployer.local.javaOpts= # The Java options to pass to the JVM

When deploying the application you can also set deployer properties prefixed with app.<name of application>, So for example to set Java options for the time application in the ticktock stream, use the following stream deployment propertites.

dataflow:> stream create --name ticktock --definition "time --server.port=9000 | log"
dataflow:> stream deploy --name ticktock --properties "app.time.spring.cloud.deployer.local.javaOpts=-Xmx2048m -Dtest=foo"

As a convenience you can set the property spring.cloud.deployer.local.memory to set the Java option -Xmx. So for example,

dataflow:> stream deploy --name ticktock --properties "app.time.spring.cloud.deployer.local.memory=2048m"

At deployment time, if you specify a -Xmx option in the javaOpts property in addition to a value of the memory option, the value in the javaOpts property has precedence. Also, the javaOpts property set when deploying the application has precedence over the Data Flow server’s javaOpts property.
