If Content Platform Engine is configured for full-text
indexing, video transcription, or thumbnail generation, then before
you start the Content Platform Engine installation
on AIX®, Linux, Solaris, or Linux on System z®, you must ensure that the fsize and nofiles parameters
are set to their unlimited value.
About this task
The fsize parameter controls the
maximum file size; the nofiles parameter controls
the maximum number of open files per process.
Procedure
To ensure that the values of fsize and nofiles are
set to their unlimited value:
- Run the following command to check the value of the fsize parameter:
ulimit -f
If
the parameter value is already unlimited (-1), continue
at step 3.
- Open for editing one of the following files, which contain
the fsize parameter. Set the parameter
value to -1, and save your edit.

- Run the following
command to check the value of the nofiles parameter:
ulimit -n
The
value of nofiles is unlimited if it is one of
the following values, depending on your operating system:Table 2. Unlimited valueOperating system |

If the value is already unlimited, continue at step 5.
- Open for editing (if it is not already open) one of the
following files, which contain the nofiles parameter.
Set the parameter to its unlimited value, and save your edit.

log back in for the changes to take effect.
