Im new to Navision, and need help to set the server.exe limit, right now its using all the servers memory, and I need some advice. Please mail me at blomrossel@gmx.net Thanks in advance
On your Navision Attain product CD, in the DOC\W1 folder, you’ll find the w1w1ism.pdf file (in case of Navision Financials, look in NFDOC\W1). The pdf contains the “Installation and System Management: Navision Server” manual which has all the necessary information about setting up the server’s start-up properties. Pay attention to the “cache” and “commitcache” properties. Tip: The Navision Server comes with a snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console (the two NDSM*.dll files) that allows you to start, stop and configure the Navision Server using the MMC.

Assuming Navision 2.60 - After some frustration we found that a cache size of approximately 50% of physical memory with commitcache turned on is a good compromise. These settings can be configured at install or throught the comsole plugin, but if you are happy to edit the registry then the following is simple and quick - Key : Hkey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services<NavisionServerName> Substitue the name you gave the Navision server at install time. Values : Cache - Reg_DWORD - Cache allocation in KB - caution binary (eg. 0x20000 = 128Meg) CommitCache - Reg_DWORD - 1=Yes, 0=No Then just stop / start the Navision service. If you do not have a UPS on the server I recommend that you DO NOT turn on CommitCache. No CommitCache will have a dramatic impact on performance when posting entries such as multi line journals etc.
Thanks for the replies, very usefull info from both of you, and I finally got the cache level corrected, and thanks for the fast reply aswell All the best Blom
