Unable to connect to DB: The database file is larger than the configured maximum

[jc.am]

Hello,

I get this message when I try to start my Ninja Trader:


Unable to connect to DB: The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. This setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only. Required Max Database Size in MB 0 if unknown = 257


Please help.

Hello,

Thank you for your post. We advise that you rename your database to resolve this item using the following steps :

• Shutdown NinjaTrader and Go to the Start Menu
• Select My Documents--> NinjaTrader 8--> db--> "NinjaTrader.sdf" file (may only say 'NinjaTrader' depending on your Windows File Explorer settings)
• Right click on NinjaTrader.sdf and select "Rename" *Name it "OLDNinjaTrader.sdf"
• Then restart the software and NinjaTrader will create a fresh database file to use
• Unfortunately the following items stored in the old database will be lost - Trading Hours templates, Instrument Lists / Custom Instruments, historical trade execution data, saved Strategy Analyzer backtest results

To prevent running into situations where you can potentially lose important data, we advise running regular backups via our inbuilt backup feature in NinjaTrader - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...up_archive.htm

Please feel free to write in with any additional NinjaTrader items we may assist with.
