[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchivesSpace Background Job Failing

[Boggio, Jerry]

Hello ArchivesSpace Users!

Based on a suggestion from Steven Majewski of the University of Virginia, we made the following change in archivesspace.sh startup script to allocate more memory - ASPACE_JAVA_XMX="-Xmx2048m". That solved the issue of generating a PDF file (Export > Generate PDF), but creating an EAD file (Export > Download EAD) errors by timing out after 2 minutes.

Would anyone have insight on the 2nd issue?

Thanks again and stay healthy!

Subject: ArchivesSpace Background Job Failing

Hello ArchivesSpace Users!

We have a Resource where we added ~33,600 records of information. Each record consists of 1 field. The data was successfully loaded into ASpace and is viewable. However, when we try to export that information through a background job to create a PDF or CSV file we get an error "Java heap space". If we run the following query in "MySQL Workbench" it completes in less than 3 seconds.

select title from archival_object where root_record_id = 44;

Does anyone have insight as to why this ASpace batch job would be failing?

Please let us know if you need more information.

Thank you!
