Want to process 100k records from csv file and dump them in a database
here i'm getting below error

Error

Job has been shut down by the system. Usually it happens due to high memory consumption. Try reworking the recipe to process less amount of data per step.
in for each the batch size given as 30000
here how the data will be processed to database...?

Hi @Laxman ,

There is no issue with the current recipe design. Although there may not be a documented upper limit for batch size, it is recommended to determine the practical processing threshold through controlled testing.

For example, if testing shows that the system can process up to 5,000 records in a single batch, it would be prudent not to set the batch size exactly at that limit. Instead, configure it slightly lower (e.g., between 4,500 and 4,800 records).

This buffer helps:
Reduce the risk of memory-related failures
Improve job stability under varying data volumes
Handle unexpected payload size variations
Ensure smoother execution in concurrent environments

Operating slightly below the maximum tested threshold provides better reliability and long-term maintainability.


Thanks and Regards,

Hi Shiva,

Thanks for your inputs

Hi @Laxman,

Could you please share the error message once? Also, if the processing of 100 records is failing, we may need to use a child recipe with a concurrency of 5 and the batch size is chosen based on the target application acceptance as @shivakumara mentioned.

Hi Rajesh
in step 4  it load the all 100k records at a time which causing memory issue.
