Tips from an Expert if the Server Does Not Start
If the server does not start and the log files indicate that the cause is not enough heap memory, you can modify the default max memory setting.
The server.properties file is processed every time the server is restarted from composite.sh monitor.
To modify the max memory setting
1. Stop the server.
2. Increase the MAX_MEMORY value in the one of the following locations depending on your server:
<TDV_install_dir>/conf/server/server.properties
<BD_install_dir>/bd/conf/server/server.properties
3. If adjusting the heap size with MAX_MEMORY is not enough to allow large CAR files to load, you can try setting the following Studio configuration parameters back to their default values:
Default Bytes to Fetch—Default value is 100.
Default Rows to Fetch—Default value is 1000.
4. From the process manager for your platform, shut down and restart all TDV processes (such as the TDV Server and monitor).
