Problem Note 48337: Exporting an information map that is based on a cube might fail because of insufficient memory
 |  |  |  |
If you try to export a SAS® Information Map into a SAS package file in SAS® Management Console, the export might fail with the following exception in the export log:
The problem occurs when the SAS Information Map is based on a cube, and that cube has shared dimensions associated with it. One of the queries submitted to the SAS® Metadata Server results in multiple requests for the same cube and dimension information. This action inflates the result and causes the SAS Metadata Server to run out of memory.
*
For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
