More solutions to "Java heap space" error?

[Meihong]

Hello,

I met ‘Java heap space’ error when running regression learner and Statistics Node.
And I have already increased the java memory to 8g by change -Xmx8g in in Knime.ini.
But it couldn’t solve the problem.
Is there any other solutions to solve this problem than increase Java memory space?

Thanks and regards
Mei

Hi,

When I met this error I change the memory policy … select write tables to disc. For nodes I use it works but I have no experience with statistics nodes… give it a try
You can find it in the configuration window.

Hope this helps you

Hi https://forum.knime.com/u/andrejz

Thanks for your answer. I have tired your suggestion, but unfortunately it doesn’t work.
Neither for regression learner Node nor statistics node.

More configuration settings need be changed in this case? I am a pretty beginner to KNIME.

Hi,

You can also try to increase the usage of ram and number of cells in memory. Please see Knime Ram Usage

Also look at https://www.knime.com/blog/optimizing-knime-workflows-for-performance

Hi @Meihong,

have couple of questions for you.

• Is there something specific about your data?
• How many records and columns does it have?
• How many memory you have on your laptop and do you run simultaneously other applications?
• How does your workflow design looks like?
• Can you share workflow (dummy data works as well as long as heap error is given with it) for someone else to try it out?
• What KNIME version are you running?

Additionally see here about configuring knime.ini file and table caching possibilities in KNIME.

Br,

Increase the number of cells in memory works!

Hey andrejz,

I searching for the Knime.ini file, which contain the -Xmx8g settings, but I didn´t find this. May it is possible to made some screenshots?
So I can find it.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

The knime.ini file is in the root folder where KNIME is installed.

knime.ini

I am trying to increase my heap space but can not find a knime.ini file anywhere on my system?  Any advice on how to find it or if maybe it goes by another name?

Hope this helps.

Hey andrejz,

i found it, thank you. I was just focused on .ini.

After that I restarted KNIME , and this ERROR cames

Thank you for your answer

[andrejz]

Sorry for that, but I have no experience with MOE extension
What if you go back to old settings in knime.ini, do you get this error?

[ScottF]

The MOE message is just a warning. Unless you are actively using those nodes, you can ignore it.

Hey andrejz and ScottF,

I tried to execute my Workflow with no success.First I had the impression that ERROR MoePreference was responsible for.

But I had no MOE Node in my Workflow, after the restart from my Laptop the Workflow was running.

Thank you andrejz and ScottF
