Looks like you have the dod5015 application installed on your old version. Its not yet available for 4.0.

Thanks your your reply.

The problem has been solved by removing :

<value>alfresco.messages.dod5015</value>‍

from my custom-slingshot-application-context.xml

What about my JAVA OPTS ? What do you think ?
If I can't get more than 1Gb amount of RAM … what's the deal with x64 ?
I have probably miss something but ???
PS : the Tomcat is installed as a Windows service.

Thanks again for your help.

You need to give more details in your postings :!:

What Java Opts have you tried and what is happening?

I set my parameters like this : -> I:\Alfresco\tomcat\bin\tomcat6w.exe //ES//alfrescoTomcat

JAVA_OPTS (Alfresco's defaults, it works) :
-Xms128M
-Xmx1024M
-Dalfresco.home=I:\Alfresco
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-Dcatalina.base=I:\Alfresco\tomcat
-Dcatalina.home=I:\Alfresco\tomcat
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=I:\Alfresco\tomcat\endorsed
-XX:MaxPermSize=512m

JAVA_OPTS I'm trying to set (according to http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/JVM_Tuning#Real-World_Example) :
-server
-Xss1M
-Xms2G
-Xmx3G
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:+CMSIncrementalMode
-XX:NewSize=1G
-XX:MaxPermSize=256M
-XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=80
-Dalfresco.home=I:\Alfresco
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-Dcatalina.base=I:\Alfresco\tomcat
-Dcatalina.home=I:\Alfresco\tomcat
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=I:\Alfresco\tomcat\endorsed

Any help on this ?

If I apply these settings, the tomcat service (Windows) doesn't start …

I can't see anything obviously wrong.

Since you have a working set of parameters I suggest you go with those and then change one parameter at a time.

Thanks for reply.

I've already tried … for example, If I put only "-server" (before or after) the default params, the service refuses to start.

So, I can't apply any additionnal JAVA_OPTS such as https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/JVM_Tuning … JVM tuning isn't possible with Alfresco 4.0.d on Windows 2008 R2 ?

I use : "I:\Alfresco\tomcat\bin\tomcat6w.exe //ES//alfrescoTomcat" to edit JAVA_OPTS, it's OK doing doing like this ?

Clearly not.

OK, So what's the best practices to put my JAVA_OPTS with a Tomcat Windows service …

- catalina.bat ?
- setenv.bat ?
- others ?

Unless mistaken, the wiki says to edit JAVA_OPTS like this when you run Alfresco as a Tomcat Windows service : http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Windows_Service_HOW-TO
