Title
Error: “Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown” -
Description
When reviewing the Job Service log to troubleshoot failed jobs the following errors are logged:
“[System.OutOfMemoryException] Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown”
“Processor (0000) terminated unexpected” -
Cause
The problem may be that when a job is finished, the external process will not be closed right away (Stdioprocessor.exe) and may be running for a while longer in the background. If a new job is submitted in the meantime the same process will be reused. This could result in the one running process taking additional memory. -
Resolution
To reduce the “Max. External Processor Reusage Count” count for the external processes in the Jobservice configuration:
1. Open the Job Service Configuration
2. Select the Queue under “Job Destination”
3. Change the “Value” field for “Max. External processor reusage count”The default value for this setting is "0" meaning "unlimited". Start by testing values of 10 or 20.
