Ahsay Go - PostgreSQL Requirements

September 16, 2026

Java Heap Size

The default Java heap size setting on Ahsay Go is 2048MB. It is highly recommended to increase the Java heap size setting to be at least 4096MB to improve backup and restore performance. The actual heap size is dependent on amount of free memory available on your PostgreSQL Server.


Network Drive

The login accounts for network drives must have read and write access permission to ensure that backup and restore would be successful.


PostgreSQL Server Requirements

Please ensure that the following requirements and conditions are met on the PostgreSQL server.

PostgreSQL Version

Ahsay Go is installed on the PostgreSQL Server version 12 – 16 for Windows and for Linux using the root account.


PostgreSQL Server Status

The PostgreSQL server instance is online.

Example: PostgreSQL v16 on Windows Server 2019 (64-bit), the default service name is PostgreSQL x64-16.

Server Status


TCP/IP Port

Check the listening port of the PostgreSQL server instance (default is 5432).

Localhost

Verify that “localhost” on the PostgreSQL server is resolvable and “localhost” is allowed to access the PostgreSQL server instance on the PostgreSQL service listening port (default 5432).
