Hi,

Is there any difference between startESP and startServer? DOCOPS document only  startServer.

Thanks

Hi Gang,

• startServer - Starts the DE engine.
• startESP - Makes a call to the startServer script to start the engine and then starts the default System Agent installed within the <INSTALL_DIR>/ESPSystemAgent directory.

In reverse:

• stopServer - Stops the DE engine.
• stopESP - Stops the default System Agent and then calls the stopServer script to stop the DE engine.

Kind regards,

John

I have an additional question about the startServer.exe file (our Master is on Windows). We have a need to increase the heap size but cannot get detailed instructions on how and where to update the startServer.lax file.

Can someone assist?

The startServer.lax file is in <DE_installdir>\bin folder. If you are starting DE using startServer.exe, you can increase the heap size "-Xmx" value in lax.nl.java.option.additional parameter in the startServer.lax file;

lax.nl.java.option.additional=-Xms8M -Xmx1024M 

If you are starting DE as a service on Windows, increase the heap size in jvmproperty_3 parameter in <DE_instadir>\conf\windows.service.properties file;

jvmproperty_3=-Xmx1024M

Hi Segun,

We were working on increasing the value for the parm jvmproperty_3 as you noted, but need to ask an additional question. Our two mirror systems are indeed started as Windows services. The system we are attempting to increase currently has a value of Xmx2048M and our other system has Xmx7168.

But we are concerned about using that same higher value because the RAM limits are different. The one needing the increase only has 8GB of RAM while the other has 16GB.

What would be your recommended value for the jvmproperty_3 parm with this condition?

Denise

Denise,

Sorry I missed your update. Since you are running 64-bit, you can set the jvmproperty_3 value to -Xmx4096 (4 GB). But, leave at least 2 - 3 GB for the OS.

Segun
