Pega personal edition 8.5.1 startup taking too long time

Hi All,

I am using Pega PE 8.5.1. It is taking too long time (57 minutes) to start the server. In the server console I am seeing some Kafka related exceptions also some other exceptions.

Can someone help me to speedup the server start?

How to stop the Kafka related exceptions during server startup?

Also attached a screenshot of server console

Appreciate your time and responses

@Sahul Delete all the files and folders from \tomcat\kafka-data\

Then start the server. Should work.

@Sahul please remove all the folders and files from tomcat\kafka-data directory then try to start

@Fahad.Khan

Thank you so much for the reply it worked.

But after server started again the kafka-data folder populated with so many folders. That means do we need to delete these folders every time before server start up?

@MALLIKHARJUN

Thank you so much for the reply and it worked but again that folder populated with many sub folders after server started.

Do we need to delete these every time before server start up?

@Sahul Yes. Delete it everytime, before you start the server.
