Warning noted in the TM1 server log: MEMORY_TEMP_POOL_EXCEEDED

Troubleshooting


Problem

An Administrator may notice a WARN level message in the tm1server.log and wonder what it means and how to avoid it occurring. A user may have received a message when using a TM1 client application when trying to open a large view, but the attempt fails and user can continue working in TM1. User may or may not report this issue to Administrator, as user can continue working in TM1 as this is just a warning and does not actually affect the TM1 server.

Symptom

A warning similar to the following will appear in the tm1server.log for an outOfMemory Exception (note that it is a WARNing and not an ERROR):
1648 WARN 2008-06-23 13:56:07,352 TM1.Server.Memory al_Alloc() outOfMemory Exception <<<MEMORY_TEMP_POOL_EXCEEDED >>> - threadID "1648" - apifunc# "131" - pool# "0" - poolsize "104300976.000000"

Message that the user would see in the user interface:
(SystemOutOfMemory) Budget : Maximum memory for action exceeded.
View may be too large.
Operation aborted.
