OBIEE 12c - IE 11.0.146 -Not enough memory resources are available to complete this operation

Question

Customer get the following Error message from using IE 11.0.146 with OBIEE 12c for report

Work a round via Edge and Firefox - no error message !!! Strange ...

Deskside support team  suspect it is a internet explorer built in limit of 1.2gb for processing – which seems remarkably large for a report when exported was 10mb.

HAs any one else experience this problem ..

Good luck

The memory usage of the browser isn't directly linked to the size of the exported analysis.

When you export the analysis the BI Server does the job and simply send a flow of data to the browser which save it on your disk directly: no rendering, no javascript.

Displaying an OBIEE page, even more a 12c one, is tons of javascript: event handlers, DOM manipulation, changing styles etc.

IE11 is (was) considered as an abandoned browser even by Microsoft which stopped investing in the JS engine of IE while putting all the resources into Edge.

IE11 is now like a past century browser compared to Chrome, Firefox and Edge. It starts having some incompatibilities with newly developed web apps because of the older JS support.

OBIEE 12c will definitely fell slower on IE11 compared to Chrome or Firefox or even Edge.

It's enough of few JS calls which works in a different way in IE11 to make it consume tons of memory.

Although Microsoft seems to have slightly changed their message saying they aren't throwing it away right now and it will still get security fixes, I wouldn't expect JS or CSS improvements in IE11, and even Oracle will probably support much better "recent" browsers than a legacy one like IE11.

Keith,

You say "report" - do you really mean a BI Publisher "report" or an OBI "analysis"?

And is this a pure export action? Is it a subject area? An data model= A pure SQL statement?
