Problem

Seeing the following error printed to the screen when starting Integrator:

WARNING:20260422:16.05.22:r4edi(starter):illegal format of process file "/root/Axway/Integrator/data/starter/starter.cfg"

The Integrator/data/log/jqueue.log shows the following error on startup:

2026-04-22 16:05:30 [main ] ERROR L80 Single.<init> - Unknown cmd option: -Xmx1024m
2026-04-22 16:05:30 [main ] ERROR L142 Single.usage - Usage:
java framework.main.Single {-c|--config} path [{-f|--file} path]
-h|--help|/? print this message
-c|--config|/c path to configuration file
-f|--file|/f path to start-up file

Resolution

Either revert the changes made to the starter.cfg or copy the Integrator/data/starter/starter.cfg.bak to the starter.cfg file.

The warning printed to the screen is simply informing that the starter.cfg file is not proper. Further analysis will need to be performed as to what is improper. In the example above, the administrator was attempting to set the Xmx (maximum heap value) of the jQueue/Core Service process but was not placed in the correct position.

In order to properly set the Xmx value of the jQueue process, '-Xmx####m' must be added before the '-jar' argument in the starter configuration. For example, the default setting for this java process is:

${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java -Dlog4j.configurationFile=file:///${CORE_ROOT}/config/java/cs-log4j2.xml -Dio.netty.leakDetectionLevel=DISABLED -jar ${CORE_ROOT}/java/lib/core-services.jar -c /root/Axway/Integrator/local/config/runtime/coreservices/12_cs.xml -f ${CORE_DATA}/coreservices/b2bi_csstarted.dat

To set the desired Xmx value, the string should be as follows:

${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java -Dlog4j.configurationFile=file:///${CORE_ROOT}/config/java/cs-log4j2.xml -Xmx<Mem_Setting>m -Dio.netty.leakDetectionLevel=DISABLED -jar ${CORE_ROOT}/java/lib/core-services.jar -c /root/Axway/Integrator/local/config/runtime/coreservices/12_cs.xml -f ${CORE_DATA}/coreservices/b2bi_csstarted.dat
