Server 0 and Dispatcher are in status Starting Framework

Question

Hi All,
This issue is mainly about Portal.
The Server 0 and Dispatcher are in status Starting Framework for a very long time..
The status does not change at all.
The dev_jrfc.trc under server 0 log does not get updated and the log directory also under server 0 does not get updated.
This is an issue in production system,so it would be of great help if some one could chip in soon.
P.S The ABAP part of the system is working fine.

Hi Bharathwaj,
Sometimes the amount of memory of java stack is insufficient or not correctly managed by the application server.
This is a common problem and I have to take a time upon this issue several times !!!
First of all  take a time to check this link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/a2/bb0a412a06f023e10000000a155106/frameset.htm it could be handful about the problem you are proving there.
Sometimes thee Java VM, which executes the instance bootstrap, is started by using the following log file
<DIR_INSTANCE>/work/std_bootstrap.out
The following problems may have been logged:
You must verify there some invalid Java VM parameter
like unrecognized option: <some option>
The option supplied in the bootstrap.JavaParameters property is not valid for the Java VM. Correct the property value and try again.
Try to manage the amout of memory of your JVM
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Incompatible initial and maximum heap sizes specified
The memory settings supplied in the bootstrap.JavaParameters and bootstrap.MaxHeapSize properties do not fit together (for example, MaxHeapSize is smaller than the initial heap size specified with u2013Xms).
Correct the property values and try again.
