Resolution

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

  1. login to the server then, launch Process Designer

  2. go to the Mounted File System (similar to the one below)

  3. expand _configs

  4. double click on default.xSystemConfig

  5. go to the Transaction Log on the adjacent pane

  6. deselect IsActive and ActiveDocPagesSummary

  7. exit out of Process Designer


Optional Steps:

  1. while still login to the server review default.xSystemConfig in ..\\<OTS Home>\BaseRepositories\designer\designer\common\_configs

  2. verify transactionLog isActive and ActivateDocPagesSummary values have been changed to "false"
