Out of memory error

[Jed_Davidow]

I was running three execution threads, when one of them started getting an out of memory error in the Report Write sequence (stock).

After closing down, I got the message below.  Any ideas where to look?

The Engine.ReleaseSequenceFile(Ex) method was not called for the following files:
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 2010 SP1\Components\Models\TestStandModels\reportgen_xml.seq
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 2010 SP1\Components\Models\TestStandModels\SequentialModel.Seq

References to PropertyObjects were not released properly.
    Total number of objects: 830936
    Number of top-level objects: 146

    Note: Some top-level objects may be included if they are referenced by
    an incorrectly released top-level object. For example, an unreleased
    SequenceContext object references a SequenceFile object.

    The following top-level objects were not released:

        SequenceContexts [2 object(s) not released]
            SequenceContext #1:
                The context last executed sequence 'Single Pass' in file 'SequentialModel.Seq'.

Are you running this in NI Sequence Editor or a custom user interface?

After the Out of Memory error message: Did you abort the execution or was it stopped automatically? If you aborted it, why didn't you choose terminate instead?

All in all you are running out of memory because reporting puts together the report string. Have you tried to reduce memory usage by limiting the steps reporting to ResultList? Have you tried On-The-Fly-Reporting with option to conserve memory?

hope this helps,

Norbert

It was Aborted since it was hanging over and over.

Thanks fot the info.  I forgot about the OTF reporting (we aren't even using that report, so I will probably just turn it off).
