Patch level detected:Univiewer Management Server 6.4.01
Product Version: Dollar.Universe 6.4.01

Description :UVMS is installed and run as a non-privileged user (non-root user) and the Derby database is not backed up as expected.

Cause:

Cause type:
Configuration
Root Cause: If a "File too large" error occurs during the backup procedure of the UVMS database, the UVMS backup will fail because there is not enough File Descriptors for this user.

Environment:

OS: Linux

Resolution:

Increase the File Descriptors for the users that starts UVMS to 12000 in UVC (UXMAXFD):
Administration tab > UVMS Node Settings > Advanced Settings > Maximum Number of File Descriptors=12000
A restart of UVMS is necessary.

Also increase the File Descriptors on system level (ulimit -n) to match the value of UXMAXFD.

(See documentation UVC Administration)
