2. Multiple FineBI projects cannot be deployed in the same Tomcat server.
3. The log management provided by the platform cannot clean up the log files in the %TOMCAT_HOME%/logs folder. The catalina.out file will occupy a large amount of disk space if it runs for a long time. It is recommended to clean up the catalina.out file regularly.
