Out of memory, try increasing Memory Limit settings Error

Hi,

 

Just wanted to ask for help for this error that I keep encountering. It is an error that I did not encounter using the same workflow as before. I think my laptop only has 8GB RAM and current Memory Limit set under Runtime settings is 2000.

I recommande you to use 1024 Megabytes.

This is a really bizarre error. I am literally counting the amount of rows (there is only ONE) and I'm running out of memory?? Doubtful. Something else is happening here.

I had the same issue, only trying to upload 1 row and got the out of memory error. I fixed it by changing the type of the fields and deselecting unknown fields.

I feel horrible. I feel like I figured out what the problem was and now I can't remember to post! Can someone send me a benign workflow causing that error?

I actually just encountered this error and resolved it.  The reason the error was popping up for me was that there was a join where records were null records were continually joining.  I didn't realize it until I saw how big the record count was getting.

 

Something to check just in case you have a data set that has null records potentially joining to other null records and creating a large Cartesian issue.
