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.
