Symptoms 

  • You've just updated to Rapidminer Server 9 which is awesome but your server only shows 2GB of memory.  
  • Even after you've updated the max-memory.conf settings you still can't get it to start without more than 2GB of memory available to the server core.

Diagnosis

  •  You may be victim to a configuration issue in which your system is using the default 2048M setting instead of your own licensed amount.

Solution

 We are going to make a change to your standalone.conf.bat file to reflect the correct setting. 

 

Inside of your \rapidminer-server\rapidminer-server-9.0.0\bin\ you will find standalone.conf.bat 

 

Locate the following segment:

 

if exist %DIRNAME%\..\standalone\configuration\max-memory.conf (
set /p MAX_MEMORY_CONFIG=<%RAPIDMINER_SERVER_HOME%\configuration\max-memory.conf
) else (
set MAX_MEMORY_CONFIG=2048m
)

Now make the following adjustment:

 

if exist %RAPIDMINER_SERVER_HOME%\configuration\max-memory.conf (
set /p MAX_MEMORY_CONFIG=<%RAPIDMINER_SERVER_HOME%\configuration\max-memory.conf
) else (
set MAX_MEMORY_CONFIG=2048m
)

 

By updating the "if" statement we are making sure that it is looking to the new max-memory.conf file that is located in your rapidminer server home folder.

    Hi, I had the same problem on Ubuntu, but the standalone.conf file seemed already ok (updated 8.2 to version 9.0.1) and was pointing to the correct home folder. The max-memory.conf file also contained the correct value.

     

    I managed to get full memory by just modifying the set MAX_MEMORY_CONFIG in the standalone.conf file from 2048 to my max allowed memory but would like to know if there can be other reasons for the behaviour.

    Hi, we have the same problem with Rapidminer Server 9.0.1 installed on AWS. I updated the MAX_MEMORY_CONFIG but couldn't find the standalone.conf.bat file in Rapidminer-home folder. Is the approach differernt for RM Server 9.0.1?

    Hey - can you try 9.0.2? I think there was something like this which we fixed.

     

    Also: Let's maybe move this to a professional level? I going to write you an email.

    Hello,

     

    AWS is a linux install, you will not be affected by this bug, it is a windows specific issue that is not something that should be at play here.

     

    Instead your license info is set from your

    configuration\max-memory.conf

    and determined by your license.  You must apply a paid license, a free license will not be accepted by server 9.X

    Hello @JessForbesRM,

     

    thank you for your response.

    We have a large license at the moment and we have adjusted the file already.

    configuration\max-memory.conf

    However, we do not see any change on RM Server after restarting the server.
