Re: FTS 8.1 Administration Questions
We had issues with FTS and 8.1. The the memory threshold would exceed the allocated limit and error. We went to 8.1.01 and set the primary/indexer java at 3072 and the secondary java at 2560. We have 2 servers, but it all depends on how many secondaries you have. The primary/indexer needs to be beefy in memory and possibly not client facing. 8.1.01, they say is more for HA, but we do notice better memory management. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years

FTS 8.1 Administration Questions
