Preview memory consumption

Tool_Tip — Tue, 11 Jun 2024 04:43:04 GMT

Dear all,

My qliksense application size is 1.4gb and the same app I am creating connection with in printing to create the report.

When I see the preview of the report inside designer my memory utilization is showing high.

when I check the Performance tab in task manager it is showing in use compressed (15gb), so just need to understand, if my app size is 1.4gb then in preview why it is consuming so much of memory.

Note: there is no any other parallel task running on nprinting.

The Qlik Sense applications are compressed when store and will use more RAM than the file size. NPrinting will need to open the application in order to fetch data and visualization for its reports.

How much ram needed depends on the character of your data. You could have a look at this support article for more insights on the matter: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/How-much-RAM-is-consumed-per-application/ta-p/1715361/

@Tool_Tip yes and you need to reduce the size of that dashboard to work with NPrinting, otherwise performance will be pretty poor.
