Could not execute function call. TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services returned an error: 'cannot allocate vector size xx Mb'
This occurs when a job reaches the maximum memory limit that an R job can consume.
To see the current memory limit for R job consumption, browse to the following location from a web browser:
http://<servername>:<port>/<servicename>/api/v8/expression/eval?cmd=memory.limit()
You will get a similar response that is displayed below, that contains the current memory limit (4096.0)

Issue/Introduction
Could not execute function call. TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services returned an error: 'cannot allocate vector size xx Mb'
Resolution
Increase the R job memory limit by adding the following to your SPSERVER_HOME\conf\spserver.properties file (for example C:\Program Files\TIBCO\statsvcs75\TERR):
engine.init.expr=library(utils);memory.limit(4096)
In this example the memory limit would be set to 4096Kb for the R jobs.
engine.init.expr=library(utils);memory.limit(4096)
In this example the memory limit would be set to 4096Kb for the R jobs.
