Any Way To Prevent SSAS Memory From Paging?

May 21, 2007

This morning msmdsrv.exe looked like the following in Task Manager:

Memory Usage: 600,000 K

VM Size: 2,500,000 K



If I understand correctly, that means that a good deal of SSAS memory has been swapped to disk by the OS. Is there any way to prevent this? (I have read about using the Lock Pages In Memory privilege at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179301.aspx which lets SQL prevent the OS from paging sqlservr.exe memory. I don't suppose there's an equivalent SSAS setting.)


In particular, the symptom I'm seeing is that after we finish processing, all that paged memory has to be loaded back into memory before the transaction can be committed. Committing the transaction is usually very quick. But when most of the SSAS process memory is pages, it takes quite a while, during which I can see the Memory Usage number in Task Manager growing. (I don't think it's a blocked transaction commit.)

Would Max Memory Including SSIS And SSAS Memory

Mar 27, 2008

Hello, I understand that we should use SSMS -> Server Properties -> Memory to put a cap on the SQL server memory usage, therefore it gives some space memory for OS, this is based on the fact if the max memory is not specified, SQL will use whatever available memory and eventually crash the system.

My question is that when a server has SSIS and SSAS services installed along with the SQL service. Would the max memory setting covers the SSIS and SSAS memory usage, or the SSIS and SSAS has to shared the memory with OS?

Thanks,
fshguo.

Memory Usage/allocation/paging Question

Jun 30, 2006

Are there any *negative* consequences to SQL Server 2000 Standardpaging to disk more often if one reduces the amount of available RAMfrom 2.0 GB to 1.5 GB to give the OS and other apps enough RAM, otherthan things possibly being "slower" and whatever wear and tear couldhappen to the disk drives??Or is it better to add in more RAM per se to bring the server up to 4GB (Win2k3 Svr SP1)?? (it has a 4GB pagefile)Is any information available about judging how much RAM the OS (Windows2003 Server) should have available?? Does IIS require a lot of RAM??Thank you, Tom

SQL2005 Memory And Paging File Issue

Mar 28, 2007

Currently, we have the following setup...

SQL 2005 Std, 8gb ram, boot ini switches for /PAE and /3GB, AWE enabled and the min/max memory settings for a single instance respectively set to 1024 and 7168. Performance-wise the system is a bit slower than before (with SQL2000) and there seems to be alot of paging. The SQL service is also running under the "LocalSystem". In this case, do I need to specify the local "SYSTEM" to have rights to "Lock pages in memory"? I have a feeling there is a misconfiguration somewhere. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

W3wp Causing Memory Paging, Crash On Reportserver?

Jan 29, 2007

Summary: We host reports off of one server that are accessed and refreshed 24/7/365. On a daily basis, I receive calls about reports taking several minutes to run IF they run at all. (normally these reports take seconds). There has yet to be an actual "error message" associated with this behavior. When I check the server at these times, I will find that w3wp.exe process is taking up about 4G and is causing paging. It seems that once it gets to that point, it will kill itself and all goes back to normal. However, it's a slow death and is impacting business.

We're using MSRS 2005. Hosting the reports is the job of this server--no other applications are hitting it. There is a development SQL db on the box, but not in use at this time. The datasources in most cases are stored procedures housed on another box. The web interface (for end users running the report) is hosted on a third server.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

Anyone knows what the size should the Paging File be for a 8 P 16 Core Opteron server with 128GB memory installed? The server will be running SQL 05 Ent and IIS, on top of Win2k3 R2 x64 Ent.

Please also give the reason for that size.

Extreme Paging Rate Reduced By Setting Maximum Server Memory To 6 Gig?

Dec 3, 2007

We have several 2005 servers with "Maximum server memory" set to 214 gig, which I believe is the default at installation time. I am told that this means "use all the memory there is including paging." Well, this is nuts but the servers seem to work fine with this setting no matter how much physical memory they have.

One of our 2005 servers recently started paging like crazy, so I reduced "Maximum server memory" to 6000 and the paging disappeared (server has 8 gig of physical memory) and the server appears happy.

I can not explain why only this one server has this paging issue and the others do not. Should I be setting "Maximum server memory" on all my servers? Are there other considerations which might cause the server to eat-up all the memory? As far as I know no other applications run on this box.

Thanks,

Michael

SSAS Memory Problem In Querying

May 14, 2008

A question about memory management in querying an SSAS server.

It so happens that users make huge queries on unoptimized elements of the cube.
The result on our server is that memory usage grows very fast, and very far beyond the TotalMemoryLimit that we specified on the server.
Especially, we specified 2.6GB for TotalMemoryLimit, and the performance graphs I have show that memory usage for the service exceeded 4.5GB for some of these bad queries !
As a result, the paging explodes, and put the system on low-memory conditions... Since the service runs on a shared environment, it causes troubles to other services running there...

I understand that the momory limit is a kind of a soft limit that can be exceeded, but not that much !!!
I would prefer the bad queries are automatically killed by the service, replying that it does not have enough memory to complete...

Is there a way to configure the service that way ?

Analysis :: SSAS Tabular Small Database Fails In Excel Pivot Table Because Of Memory Shortage?

May 7, 2015

I have a very small SSAS database with around 35 Mb. I opened it on Excel 32 bits and started dragging fields to a pivot table and it started failing with memory errors. The behavior on the SSAS server was that memory started growing very fast until 8 GB (vm memory total) and then the error is reported in excel.

What might be the issue in such a small database? I would understand in a big database, but not on this one.

SQL In-Memory :: Table Memory Optimization Advisor Validation Passed But Cannot Migrate

I have now tried the "Table Memory Optimization Advisor" tool.

After a couple of tweaks to the table design - the tool is now passing validation but the tool is not allowing to progress to the next step:

Could it be down to not having enough memory? But would this not show in the advisor?

AWE/Lock Page In Memory Drawbacks? Min/Max Settings, Memory Issues

Oct 11, 2007

I've been researching AWE to determine if we should enable this for our environment.

Currently we have a quad core box with 4 gb of RAM (VMware). OS: Windows 2003 std, SQL Server 2005 std. 3GB is not set but will be as soon as we can perform maintenance on the server.

I have read mixed feedback on AWE, either it works great or grinds you to a hault. I would assume that the grinding to a hault is due to not setting the min/max values correctly or not enabling the lock page in memory setting.

We only have one instance of SQL on the server and this box won't be used for anything else aside from hosting SQL services. We do plan on running SSRS off of this server as well.

1. Will running SSRS and enabling AWE cause me problems? Will I have to reduce the max setting by the SSRS memory usage or will it share and play nice?

2. How do I go about setting the Max value? Should it be less than the physical RAM in the box? Right now its set to the default of 214748364, even if I don't enable AWE should this default value be changed?

3. It seems that even at idle the SQL server holds a lot of memory and the page file grows. If I restart the process in the morning, memory usage in taskmon is at 600mb or so. By the end of the day, its up around 2gb. How can I track down whats causing this, should this even concern me?

4. The lock Page in memory setting worries me. Everything I've read on this seems to give a warning about serious OS and other program support degradation. In some cases to the point where they have to restore the settings on the server before they can bring it back up. What are your thoughts on this.

Memory Issues, SSIS Package Out Of Memory Help

Dec 6, 2006

I am running Visual Studio 2005. I have an SSIS Package which is consuming a huge amount of memory. During the execution of the package the memory keeps increasing. Until finally i get an Out of Memory exception. I have run this package using dtexec, and in the BIDS. No difference. I do have some script components and have added some code to get the assemblies in the current appdomain. I do see that one particular assembly is increasing on every loop. VBAssembly every time it hits the script component is increasing by 6, and along with it the memory is climbing. What is this VBAssembly being used for is there an update to SQL Server Integration Services that I need?

Thanks! Aaron B.

Sql Server 2000 Using Less Memory After More Memory Added

Aug 22, 2007

sql server 2000 is running on windows server 2003 ... 4gb of memory on server .... 2003 was allocated 2.3gb nd sql server was allocated (and using all of it) 1.6gb for total of approx 4gb based on idera monitor software ... all memory allocated betweeen the OS and sql server .... then 4 more gb of memory added for total now of 8g ... now idera monitor shows 1.7gb for OS and 1.0 gb for sql server ..... 'system' info shows 8gb memory with PAE ... so I assume that the full 8gb can now be addressed .... why are less resources being used now with more total memory .... especially sql server ..... i thought about specifying a minimum memmry for sql server but i amnot convinced that would even work since it seems that this 1gb limit is artificial .... it it used 1.6 gb before why would it not use at least that much now ??

thank you

Memory Management (fixed Memory, AWE)

Jul 17, 2006

Hi,

I am going to install SQL Server 2000 (then SQL 2K5) on a Win Server 2K3 with 8 GB of ram, but it will be 16 GB in the near future.

I would like to reserve a fixed memory (for momemt less than 3-4 GB) for SQL Server and the rest for application (virtualization).

Without AWE enabled, max memory for SQL Server 2K5 is 4GB as for SQL Server 2000?

How can I manage and optimize memory keeping in mind AWE. (any doc, website available?)

Paging

Oct 12, 2004

Is there any way to implement a paging scheme such that only the required records are transferred from SQL Server to the asp.net app?

The only support I can find such as the DataAdaptor.Fill will bring all the records back from SQL Server and then create the page...

This obviously still takes time and memory based on the entire query, not the page size.

Any ideas?

Paging In Sql 2k

Dec 11, 2003

I have noticed that the server i'm running SQL2k on is starting to page out of the norm. I can see that the regsvc and sqlservr svc are showing high page faults/sec. I have 3 gigs of ram and set the max that sql can use to 2 gigs. It is currently using only 168 MB and still will show high paging at random times. I know I can add more ram but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I have also stopped unnecessary services at the os level.

Any other suggestions to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Paging In RS

May 9, 2008

Hi there

I've managed to make it query that return a dataset that have 2 views utilising the "Filter" in RS. I treat this as a single record with multiple views.

Now let say if I have a stored precedure that pass 2 parameters one is called state and year and accepting 'ALL' for every possibility of State and Year and construct that into single dataset with 2 views similar like above.

How do I breakdown this in the reporting services so it will have paging?

This is a simple dataset:

RECORDID, ReportViewType, State, Year, VALUE
1, "VIEW1", "NSW", 1, null
1, "VIEW2", null, null, 10000
2, "VIEW1", "NSW", 2, null
2, "VIEW2", null, null, 11000
3, "VIEW1", "VIC", 1, null
3, "VIEW2", null, null, 11003
4, "VIEW1", "VIC", 2, null
4, "VIEW2", null, null, 11001

I would like to break down (paging) this per recordid. Each page obviosuly has 2 views using the same data set with different FILTER.

Do I need to put into a LIST then inside that list put 2 TABLES? Is this possible?!?!

Thanks

SQL 2012 :: Configuring Memory Per Query Option And Index Create Memory Option

Feb 10, 2015

So I started a new job recently and have noticed a few strange configurations. Typically I would never mess with min memory per query option and index create memory option configuration because i just haven't seen any need to. My typical thought is that if it isn't broke... They have been modified on every single server in my environment.

From Books Online:
• This option is an advanced option and should be changed only by an experienced database administrator or certified SQL Server technician.
• The index create memory option is self-configuring and usually works without requiring adjustment. However, if you experience difficulties creating indexes, consider increasing the value of this option from its run value.

Paging Problems

The big problem is that i need to display objet with the same name. In my book the best identifier is the PK and therefor i have sorted as above by ordering after LastName, FirstName, ContactId
After som thinking ive reached the conclusion that this dont work if the idnumbers isnt of the same length. as long as they are(for example two people named John Smith, one with id = '23' and one with id = '87' it works. If there ids would have been '23' and '1203' it will not work correctly) of the same length it works fine.
What im wondering is if anyone have a good solution to this? Only thing i can think of is filling all idnumbers with zeros to equal length. Dont know how and if this will affect performance though. Anyone has a practical solution to this?
