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.
