Too many profiles running concurrently

Several jobs quit with the same error:

[ERROR] Initialization failure. Windows Heap out of memory. Too many profiles running concurrently.

What are the limitations of simultaneous running jobs ?

Is there any way to raise that limitation ?

The heap size is default on a 2012 r2 server which is 20480.

reg key.
%SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,20480,768 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=sxssrv,4 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16

Hi,

As mentioned in my previous post, the heap size is already on 20480. this is the maximum advised size and also default on server 2012 (R2).

Currently I have about 30 profiles running more or less at the same time. these should be expanded to around 40 profiles running simultaneously.

Is it possible to increase the heap size to above the value it is now ?
could that solve this issue ?

Is there any other way to be able to run this amount of profiles simultaneously ?

Hi, yes, you can increase the heap size to handle more profiles running concurrently. thanks

Hi,

I am looking for the maximum amount of profiles that I will be able to run.
currently my Heap memory settings on the 2012 R2 server are:

Windows SharedSection=1024,20480,1024

I am planning to increase the last value to 2048, but I have to wait for a job to finish, which will take several days.

Windows SharedSection=1024,20480,2048

Will this help running more simultaneous jobs ?

What are the limitations ?

Currently from the 30 scheduled jobs, only 6 are now running, the other 24 fail with one of the following errors:

Error 1
[ERROR] An unhandled exception has occurred in ViceVersa. ViceVersa has to close. A crash report has been saved to "C:\Program Files\ViceVersa Pro\ViceVersa.rpt" and "C:\Program Files\ViceVersa Pro\ViceVersa.dmp". Please send the report to support@tgrmn.com along with an explanation of where ViceVersa crashed. Please also attach log file

Error 2
[ERROR] Initialization failure. Windows Heap out of memory. Too many profiles running concurrently.

Error 3
[ERROR] An unhandled exception has occurred in ViceVersa. ViceVersa has to close. A crash report could not be saved.

These issues need to be fixed or I will have to look for an alternate application doing this job better.

Hi, all the errors are related to memory issues, try increasing the third value of the SharedSection to 4096
thanks
