Hi,

I am new to clover etl and I am modifying some applications that use clover ETL.

When I running my application it throws the following exception:

Exception in thread “LOOKUP1” java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space  
Exception in thread “WatchDog” java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

The Error ocurrs in this node

The file where Clover makes the LOOKUP is quite big: 6915782 lines.

I wonder if I use the commercial engine of Clover ETL will fix this problem or if it is a hardware problem.

How could I solve this issue? Please help.

Hello,  
your custom node probably stores all data in the memory, so you need to set more memory for the jvm (see [Fine-tuning CloverETL](http://wiki.clovergui.net/doku.php?id=running#fine-tuning%5Fcloveretl)). If you have CloverDesigner, the above settings can be configured in CloverETL launch configuration (see [Running Graphs](http://www.cloveretl.com/documentation/UserGuide/index.jsp?topic=/com.cloveretl.gui.docs/docs/running-graphs.html)).
