Control FME Desktop memory usage | Community

I am running a Workspace and after a while it gives an error and as if the memory had burst, is there any way to control memory?

My top six tips, in no particular order off the top of my head:

Unblock your transformers as much as possible
If you have multiple writers, replace them with FeatureWriters
Only read what you need, where-clauses are your friend
Let the database do the heavy lifting, e.g. a join on two database tables is a whole lot quicker than a FeatureMerger
Only keep the attributes you need at each step of the way (AttributeKeeper, yay)
Try to avoid the ListExploder on huge numbers of features/items, if possible

Also, consider 64-bit FME.

In addition to the above,

try avoiding Data Inspectors or keep it at places, only where you need it
check space on your hard disk
In Tools-->FME Options-->Translation set Translation Priority to HIGH, in case, your are running some concurent tasks.
