Thanks Christian, 

I had already set open files limit on the OS:

ubuntu@ip-10-0-0-83:~$ ulimit -Hn

9999

However, I still face exact same problem. Process breaks at the same db count

[bxerr:BXDB0002] Resource "/veracode/msheth/BaseXDB/bi_output_715/inf.basex (Too many open files)" not found.

Hi Mansi,

If you are working with Linux, you may need to increase the maximum
file limit with "ulimit -n" [1].

Hope this helps,
Christian
