Parsing Large File

Hello,

I am attempting to parse an xml file that is coming in, but the file is 167mb which is causing an out of memory error when I attempt to read the file to then parse it via the xml node. Has anyone else dealt with such a large file? What is the best way to handle this? Can I begin parsing directly from the file instead of reading it into memory first?

Thanks,

Kyle

Good morning Kyle,

Are you On-Premise, Single Tenant Cloud or Multi-tenant Cloud deployment?

unknown

On premise 10.1.1.76. I was able to pull in the information using a data iterator but that is only one line at a time.

Good morning Kyle,

That is a very large XML file which will expand into alot of objects when parsed. What is your Max Heap set to? How much additional / available RAM exists?

I discussed this quickly with a developer who mentioned the potential of parsing it incrementally with javascript. I would need to play with that idea before I could suggest it here though.

It's currently set to 4096. I could probably get it closer to 8gb but that would be about it.
