Presentation debugger report

(imported topic written by lmpymilk91)

Does the presentation debugger sore the output into a file or is this all in memory?

Would a report that is 37,000 Rows x 25 columns (about 15MB as a csv) be too much for the presentation debugger?

I would use webreports if I could but this is not an option right now

Thanks

Hey Chris,

It stores the results in memory… It probably will accept the 15MB of data…

But you should use the Excel Connector and see if that works:

Thanks for the reply Ben. The Excel Connector needs 7.2.x and we are still using 7.0.9.164.

I use soap for these reports most of the time but we have been unable to keep our Webreports service running for a few months now. It is x86 and is at 2.4GB - 2.5GB of memory usage by the time it loads.

I will try the debugger this morning.

Ah… I always forget that you are running our second largest BigFix deployment with 200k+ computers… :slight_smile:

Yes… If you don’t have an x64 server, then Windows only gives you 3GB of RAM available for your process and once you get to 2.5GB or so, you start to see issues with allocating new memory blocks. So until you can get an x64 server, then you need to continue to be very cautious about being so close to the upper memory limit.

I just want to follow up for future searches.

The presentation debugger worked for the large report. It took about 30 minutes for notepad to complete the paste.

The x64 hardware is on the way :slight_smile:
