When working with very, very large file or amounts of data is is possible that a plugin may run out memory. To correct this you may need to adjust the memory that the plugin has available.

Mac:

  • create a file '/Library/Application Support/360FmKit/memorysize' which contains the required heap size, in megabytes (i.e. 128)

NOTE: Values higher than 1024 MB can cause FMP/A to crash.


Windows:

  • On Windows XP, the memorysize file should be located at 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\360Works\memorysize'
  • On Windows Vista the file should be 'C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\360Works\memorysize'
  • On Windows 7 the file should be 'C:\ProgramData\360Works\memorysize'
  • On Windows Server 2008 the file should be 'C:\Users\Admin\360Works\memorysize'
NOTE: You must ensure that the file has no extension (.txt, etc.). You can remove extensions by un-checking the "Hide extensions for known file types" option in Windows Explorer folder options.

You will need to restart FileMaker in order for the changes to take affect.

You may need to restart the machine you make this change on after creating the memorysize file.
