[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchivesSpace Background Job Failing

[Blake Carver]

Sounds like it could be your proxy timing out? Is the timeout on F5/Apache/nginx or whatever you're using set to 2 minutes?

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!

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!
