Out of Memory

[lvantine]

I am trying to load a very large Controlled Project about 187MB and get an Out Of Memory error. Is there a work around to the problem or are we going to have to move to a more scalable tool?

Ivantine,

The "Out of Memory" error must be coming from something else then the sheer size of the model.
I've seen models a lot larger load without any issues.
Some things to try:
- Do a model transfer to a fresh eap file
- Repair the eap file with MS Access
- Load the whole model from the controlled xmi files into a fresh eap file
- Ask Sparx Support for help

On the other hand, 187 is becoming quite large for an MS Access db. You might want to consider moving to a "real" database (MySQL, Oracle, MSSQL,...) once you got this sorted out.

Hi

If you are using version 8, (or if the model is shared), then try "lazy load" to just load the structure of the model rather than the complete model.

Incidently, I also am getting "out of memory" errors when taking a Baseline at the root node of a 300,000kb local project

Cheers

Thanks for the hint. A friend of mine recommended editing the XML of the controlled project and removing the DTD line. This prevented checking of the XML on load, this worked for me.

Whoa, do you mean you have the whole project controlled into one giant xmi file?
No wonder you are running into troubles.
You know you can also control on package level?

This happened to me recently. I have 2 user accounts on the same PC and this first started to occur when I tried to open EA when both user logins were active on the machine. Even after restart and login to only one user the problem persisted.

Solution: Try Shift + Right click on the EA.exe file and run as a different user
Now provide your login and it should open.
