rsserver fails due to insufficient memory when building large cube on AIX

Troubleshooting


Problem

When running rsserver under AIX, cube builds may fail due to insufficient memory. By default, AIX applications are limited to using 256 MB of memory but large cube builds may require more than this default size. To increase the memory limit on AIX 5.1 and above, use the ldedit utility to adjust the MAXDATA setting of the rsserver executable.

Symptom

TR2600 Unable to create cube please try again REPOS-E-NOMEM, Insufficient memory on machine for operation. [->OK]
or: Core Dump "Memory Fault"
