Resolution

To resolve this issue, the Transaction Log needs to be disabled.

login to the server then, launch Process Designer
go to the Mounted File System (similar to the one below)
expand _configs
double click on default.xSystemConfig
go to the Transaction Log on the adjacent pane
deselect IsActive and ActiveDocPagesSummary
exit out of Process Designer

Optional Steps:

while still login to the server review default.xSystemConfig in ..\\<OTS Home>\BaseRepositories\designer\designer\common\_configs
verify transactionLog isActive and ActivateDocPagesSummary values have been changed to "false"
