Does anyone know what could help here?
I increased some settings but this did not help.

My Computer has Alteryx installed on D with lot of free space.
The RAM is a bit low but could this cause the error?

Alteryx runs fine for some days but when this error happens even the smallest workflow will get this memory error.

My Alteryx System and User Settings:

Hi @df 

 

Even though you've specified that you use D:\Alteryx\Engine as your temporary directory,  Alteryx still uses your Windows temp file directory for certain things.  This is usually C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\Temp.  Your C: drive only has 4.21 GB free and it's possible that the error messages stem from this.

Hi @danilang 

 

i tried to move the temp folder to the D drive like this (and i rebooted my system after)
https://www.howtogeek.com/285710/how-to-move-windows-temporary-folders-to-another-drive/

 

and i still get the error.
Shouldn't this resolve the problem?
Is there anything else i could do?

hi @df 

 

You may want to reach out directly to support@alteryx.com.  They should be able to help you find out exactly where the bottleneck is.
