Introduction:
When ACC runs as a Windows service and fails, there is not much debugging information to find out what the issue is.
Question:
How do I get additional debugging info when ACC fails to start as a Windows service?
Environment:
ACC Configuration Server has been installed on Windows and Java 1.8.
Answer:
a.) After successful installation and then starting ACC as a Windows service, per wrapper log: the JVM cannot be started. However, there are not many details why: "JVM exited while loading the application."
b.) We ran the command to start ACC on a Windows command line without the "-s" flag (for service), and see additional debugging info, such as learning that the heap object is too large to be created. This is a way to get more debugging info.
c.) From the debugging info in the above example, adjust the -Xmx settings accordingly and you should be able to start ACC.
