Environment
Sentinel 5.x on Windows 2000, 2003
Situation
When starting Sentinel processes, some processes start up but exit immediately.
Resolution
On some Windows systems we've found that having an -Xmx value that is too large can cause the process to exit immediately.
On the sentinel server machine where the stopped service is running:
1. search for "-server -Dsrv_name="
2. go to the right entry for the stopped process (possible server name includes: DAS_Query, DAS_Binary, DAS_RT, Activity_Container, Workflow_Server)
3. look for "-Xmx" parameter for that process
4. If the parameter is greater than 1200m, then change it to -Xmx1200m.
5. Restart Sentinel services.
