A memory
gauge is visible in the menu bar that shows the amount of physical memory that is used
on the server.
The server rejects requests to add tables or
append rows when 80% or more of the memory is used. (The
default value for the server is 75%. SAS Visual Analytics deployments set the value at 80%.) System
administrators can specify a different value for the server with SAS Management Console.
For non-distributed deployments, the 80% threshold applies to the single machine.
For distributed deployments, the 80% threshold is evaluated for each machine in the
cluster.
If the threshold is
crossed, the operation fails, and the Messages tab
includes an error that is similar to the following example:
ERROR:
A server-side limit on the consumption of memory resources has been
reached. These limits can be adjusted by the owner or by the administrator
of the LASR Analytic Server.
In some deployments with limited
network bandwidth, the data builder cannot communicate with the SAS LASR Analytic Server
monitor, and the memory gauge fails to appear.
