In this chapter you will find known errors, which can appear when installing and running the Datavault Builder. For these common errors, possible resolutions are as well presented.

Note

Installation

In general, all Datavault Builder containers are stateless, as all information is directly stored on the processing database. Therefore, the datavault builder modules (webgui, api, core, scheduler) can be restartet without loosing data. Please be aware, that a restart will cause running loads to fail.
