Environment
- App Control Server: All Supported Versions
- SQL Server Express Edition: All Supported Versions
Symptoms
- Events are seen in the Console with an error similar to:
- "Database data file size limit reached. Total data file size is 3077 MB."
Cause
SQL Server Express Edition has a maximum database file size of 10GB. App Control will default to a cutoff size of 3.7GB (3700MB) when SQL Server Express Edition is used.
Resolution
To increase the allowed database size:
- Login to the Console and navigate to: https://ServerAddress/shepherd_config.php
- Locate the Defined Property: MaxDatabaseSizeMB and change the Value to: 8192
- Click Change to save the new setting.
Additional Notes
- If it is expected that the database size will continue to grow beyond 10GB, an upgrade to SQL Server Standard Edition will be required.
- The Alert is configured to warn when the database is approaching the limit.
- The Shepherd Config Property, DisableTrackingCutoffDatabaseSizeMB may need to be adjusted as well.
