HI

I have a development env with sharepoint 2013 farm, all in one, with 16 GB of RAM.

When trying to index (any document type) i'm getting this error in the crawl log:

"processing this item failed because parser server ran out of memory. (error parsing document [url] document failed to bre processed. it propebly crashed the server;)"

the server is using around 8-10 gb of memory out of 16.

thanks

Hi ,

According to the error message, it can be caused by the document cannot be parsed.

Which is the extension of the document?

For your issue, you can try to implement a custom iFilter for this extension in SharePoint 2013:

Also you can have a look at the similar thread:

Hi Eric,

I have this problom with all extensions, including msg, dox, doc, so i dont think its the IFilter.

The similer thread is about zip file only and there was no sulotion they simply stop crawling it.

Any other ideas ?

Thanks

Hi Again,

On second look the error only affects msg files so I excluded them for now.

Putting aside this error, for know, I have lots of warnings for .docx files "the item was partialy parsed. the item was trucated in the index because it exeede the maximum size".

its not the file size because they r very small, there is no specific manage property in the warning.

any ideas ?

thanks

Did you ever get an answer on this issue? I am having the same problem with DOCX and PDF, but the server has available physical memory. It must be a limit of the component I can't find.
