Hi All,

I'm currently running several memory hungry models using FME 2016 32Bit (as I'm using ESRI software therefore 64bit is unsuitable), but I keep getting the 'Translation Failed' due to memory issues. Just to clarify, I only run one at a time and have had to break them down in order for them to complete. I've attached an image of the memory available on my machine and am unable to find a reason as to why it's failing. I've been monitoring the memory usage throughout and at most the models are utilising 10-20% of the available memory. Is there a cap on what FME can utilise?

Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

Please refer to this question posted by another member of the FME Community: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/2319/fme-32-bit-vs-64-bit.html

 

 

32-bit FME will only be able to access ~4GB of memory on a 64-bit OS. This is a limitation of 32-bit applications.

 

 

You might need to split the workspaces into different components, or reduce feature input, so that FME doesn't hit this cap during translation.

I'll add that if you're running reasonably recent versions of FME and ArcGIS, there's a decent chance that you could make it work with the 64-bit versions.

Thanks everyone. I'm writing out to ArcSDE therefore only using the 32bit version. I may try the 64 bit but write out to a fileGDB instead and then move the final data across.
