I guess you better since I got some of them from Epicor Support. Have no idea why the Stack Size (-s) needs such a larger number... they're probably setting it for worst case. But the # DB Buffers was definitely a problem when the AppServers needed to address their memory. We're using OpenEdge Studio on a SQL database so we mistakenly thought we needed more DB Buffers but that would just have the information in memory twice, once for OpenEdge and again in the SQL buffers.

Subject: [Vantage] Re: AppServer's crashing when starting up
Your Open Edge black magic seems to have done the trick !.
I've changed all the .pf files so that they have the text below and
they all start up first time. I doubt it does but I'll check out the
Progress website to see if it describes exactly what each switch
achieves so I have some sort of idea as to what I've actualy just
done ;)
Thank you so much for your help. Are you happy for me to pass this
onto Epicor when I close the support call I had on this problem ?.
