Exceeded memory limit error on index

Question

Some files are giving a "exceeded memory limit" when creating an index. Where is this memory limit set? Can it be configured?

I tried checking some of the xml and config files in the installed directory but wasn't quite sure where this was getting set

Answer 1

The memory limit setting is an internal setting designed to protect the indexer from running out of memory on very large files. It is based on the total RAM of the PC and some configuration settings in the config.xml.

IndexMemMgr.MaxRamUsageType
IndexMemMgr.MaxRamPerDocType

Values range from:

1 - Very High
2 - High
3 - Normal   (default)
4 - Low

It's not possible to set these values using the UI, if you'd like more information please contact support:
