Tomcat7 as a service
I apologize in advance if this has been asked, but after some research I cannot find anything that matches.
Environment:
RTC installed on Windows 2008 R2 64bit
Jazz Team Server
Version 4.0 (4.0.0.RJF-I20120531-1400-r40-)
I followed the instructions on the support site for configuring Tomcat7 to run as a service. When I attempt to start the service it throws an event in the windows system log. Event ID 7024, source Service Control Manager.
"The Apache Tomcat tomcat7 service terminated with service-specific error The operation completed successfully.."
The service doesn't start.
I'm at a loss. Has anyone else ran into this issue?
Thanks.

Take a look at this forum question and see if you are seeing the same symptoms. The InfoCenter settings apparently assume you have 8 GB RAM. In my case, I was running on a system with only 4 GB which is on the very low end of the recommended configuration.
To find more info on your exact error you might want to clear out the tomcat logs in <rtc-install-dir>\server\tomcat\logs, try to start the service and then see what shows up in the new logs that should be created.
I would start with the *stderr*.log as that seems contain the information that used to be in the Tomcat 5 catalina log
Based on Dennis' comment, I found some information I on Compressed references in the Java 6 information center that might be useful. It goes into a bit more detail on the Xgc:preferredHeapBase setting. It seems that if you don't have at least 8 gigs of memory using that setting could cause some issues.

Interestingly the service starts fine now. However when I try to load the JTS page it gets stuck on loading. I looked at the tomcat logs and found that I was getting all sorts of out of memory errors from JAVA. I'm not sure if this is the root of my stuck on loading page, but there is clearly something amiss.
I seem to have gotten past this issue. I had to modify the java settings some. Here is what I ultimately ended up with that seems to have fixed it.
-Xmx8g
-Xms4g
-Xgcpolicy:gencon
-Xcompressedrefs
Initial memory pool: 256
Maximum memory pool: 8192
Now I'm off to chase down the new problem: "
