If you have access to the Windows User Tool (WUT) it will use less memory when 
processing queries like that (although, 100,000 records is still a lot for it, 
especially if you're pulling back Incidents).  The question I have, though is 
where you're actually running out of memory.  It's possible that your AR server 
or Mid Tier could be running out of memory trying to process such a large 
query.  If that's the case, adding memory to your machine or hers will not help 
any.

Given the large number of records, if you can work with it, it's probably a 
good idea to break it up into smaller queries like 1 week chunks like you 
tried.  That's less likely to cause issues with the server or Mid Tier as well.

Hi listers...

One of our Remedy instances is running on IM 7.03 with MT 7.1 patch 5.  She is 
running a large Incident search that returns ~100,000 records (1 month worth of 
issues in our case) which she then wants to run an AR report off of.

The search fails with an "Exception error" but works when the query is split 
into 1-week chunks.  I get the same results when I do it on my machine.  Two 
weeks worth of Incidents is about 53,000 of them and that uses up 973 MB of 
local RAM on my machine in IE 6.  I get an out of memory error when I try to 
retrieve more which is slightly different than her machine but I can't 
guarantee our machines are the same configuration.

For all appearances this is just a local workstation memory issue and I can't 
think of any way to address that other than adding memory to her machine.  But 
just to be thorough I thought I'd ask if anyone else ran into this and if there 
was any sort of tuning they thought of to fix it.
