Has anyone installed 3.60A Server on a Windows 2003 server? The install does not give any errors, but the service does not start. When you try to start service manually it give error.

    I' have the same problem. When I install the database server, the memory cache is more than a gigabyte (I' have 2 Gb on the server). The service don't start. If you assign 512 or 756 Mgs (524288 or 774144 kb), the service starts without problems. I have read that attain don't use more than a giga of memory ¿?.

    Excuse me for my bad english (I'm spanish).

    Best regards

    That is correct Xdmas. Navision server cannot use more than 1Gb memory. Otherwise the server will not start.

    1 Gb? I only can assingn 750 Mb (750000 kb), if I assign more memory, the server doesn't start, and I have 2 Gb of total memory, and about 1'5 gb free before install navision database server. The curious is that the guys that are implanting navision don't have idea of this problem.

    Some time ago, I ran into this problem on a system with 2 Gb memory and about 40 Gb free space on the hard disk. So I asked Navision about it.
    After some discussing they admitted that it is a bug.
    I don't know exactly how much memory you can assign, and I don't know if it is a constant number either, but the actual limit is always somewhere in between 700 and 800 Mb.
    I'm sorry but I don't know of any solution or workaround...

    Navision can/should only run with a maximum cache of 1Gb, But there is an error if you have more than 900 mb of cache.

    This is has been corrected in 3.70.

    see "Changes in Navision 3.70 Document"
    Answer the question and wait for the answer.

    Question is: Do you need this much memory?

    Navision needs 20 MB of memory per 1 GB of database space plus 4 to 12 MB per light user or havy user.

    Add some additional memory to make sure new users can be added and the database can be expanded without them calling you to expand the Navision server memory.

    But them again... A bug is a bug!

    Well, basically not. Still, the Navision server does such a great job that one might like to use it even with huge DBs and many users...

    Of course, this is not to say that SQL is agood solution, too.
