Problem Note 42691: 'ERROR: DATA STEP Component Object failure. Aborted during the EXECUTION phase. java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space'
 |  |  |  |
If you are loading exchange rates or exchange rate sets into SAS Financial Management Studio, you might see an error similar to the following in your log file:
ERROR: DATA STEP Component Object failure. Aborted during the EXECUTION phase.If you are running the load process from SAS Data Integration Studio, this would typically be written to the SAS Data Integration Studio log; if running the process as a Stored Process this would typically be written to the SASStoredProcessServer log; if you are submitting the job directly in a SAS session, this would typically be written to your SAS log.
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
This indicates that the process requires more system resources (RAM) than have been allocated. Check the 'Xmx' (maximum memory allocation) setting contained in the JREOPTIONS of the file
<drive>:\Program Files\SAS\SASFoundation\9.2\nls\en\SASV9.cfgBy default, this will typically be set to 128m (1.28 GB RAM allocated to the Java Virtual Machine - JVM - on which the SAS process runs).
There is not necessarily an exact science to this, so please try increasing this to 256m and re-submitting your job. If you still get the "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError", try increasing to 512m. If you still have problems after that, do not go any further, as something else is wrong. At that point, please contact SAS Technical Support for additional assistance.
Please note that you need to restart the SASObjectSpawner after changing this specific Xmx setting.
