Out of Memory Error on using Reporting Tools

Hi Team,

I am trying to output data of 10 lakh rows with approx 12 columns in excel format using reporting tools (Table, Layout and Render) but it is giving me Out of Memory Error at the Layout or Render tools. Tried runs after changing the user setting or workflow Run setting for memory limitation but still it throws the same memory issue error.

Any suggestions how to handle this error?

Are you running on a virtualized environment (ie a MAC in parallels). can you turn off amp? What does resource monitor say? Is this Alteryx 2023.X?

@Tej_Singh Can you post the memory settings as well as the hardware specs on your machine (screenshots)?

Let me know if you need any more information from my end.

@Tej_Singh Can you make some dummy data to put into your workflow and then post that here; so we can see the entire workflow without any of your data?

Is AMP on? Does this use In-DB? I remember some limits on table tool creating larger tables (say >100K rows).

If none of those are the case- I think you'd need to turn on logs - and send over error logs to Alteryx. Something weird is happening.

What kind of outputs are you creating?

Hi All

@patrick_mcauliffe @apathetichell

Sharing the workflow, input file (10 lakhs + rows) and error screen shot.

Excel non formatted ouputs with mutliple worksheets based on Expiry Dates are getting created without any error.

However, when I am trying to output two reports CG Report and TT Report in formatted form it is giving me "Out of memory error". Error Screenshot attached. I have already tried runing workflow with and without AMP Engine checked/unchecked but error still exists.

Please advise.

Running your workflow - but I think this just comes down to limits of the render tool and the file size created by it. I'd recommend a reroute to output the data via output data - or preferably use a template/blob input/blob output/overwrite to range method.

Also - drop your data cleansing tool - those will degrade performance. And your dynamic select tool could be more streamlined.
