I have installed thingworx 8.5 with apache tomcat 9. but apche 9 is taking lot of cpu utilization. so thinking to change it to apache 8.5 what is the procedure for this?

Hello,

 

Just copy "webapps/Thingworx" directory from old Tomcat home to the new one, making sure that both are installed on the same disk drive and configured similarly (see conf/server.xml). Stop 9.0 and start 8.5, it should just work.

 

Having said that -- don't do it, you probably won't gain any performance (if not lose).

    Here, check out the first link: https://www.google.com/search?q=thingworx+8.5+system+requirements

     

    8 GB should be enough for prototyping and developing small-to-medium size applications.
