Hello Andrew,

 

Inbound Pipe generally relates to running out of memory on your machine.

 

What are you trying to do? I often see it when people have large CSV files as their input.  Try making the delimiter /0 then parsing it out using text to columns.

I am trying to load couple of tabs from a spreadsheet (xslx), 1 sheet has 10 rows with 2 columns and the 2nd sheet has around 7k rows with 78 columns. then I transpose the file and do a match on the colunm names and add any missing ones and then update an sql database. Tested it on my pc and works ok and just doing a test on the server before putting it in the gallery.

 

It works fine on my pc but when I put the workflow onto the Server it is given me this error.

On your server system settings,

 

How many simultaneous workflows?

What is your join/sort memory?

 

What is your servers RAM?

Hello,

 

Can you try lowering the number of simultaneous workflows?  We generally recommend the number of cores - 1.  On a basic deployment this would be 3 simultaneous workflows.  This means the 15gb will be split 3 ways instead of 10x, which will give your workflows a lot more RAM to run.

 

Thanks,

Nick
