The number of active application generations (3035) is equal or bigger than the limit (3000). The server is stopping.

The recommended solution is to update the “maximum active generation count” by the following steps;

1. Open the “server.properties” file under from <install_directory>\conf directory

2. Update the property “active.appl.gen.stop” and increase the value. For example:

active.appl.gen.stop=3050

3. Restart DE the Server

4. Correct or force complete any failed applications to reduce the number of active application generations. Also, suspend any event(s) that trigger continuously the application generations not completing and caused the issue.
