How do I fix a heap size error on the data wizard?
If you see a heap size error when running the data wizard, you can adjust how many records we process per execution. The fewer the records, the less memory used. The import will run a little slower, but for most people this will not be noticeable.
The Solution
There are two settings that control how many records the data wizard processes at a time, and both should be reduced when you hit a heap size error.
- Go to the Mailchimp Settings tab.
- Select Maintenance from the menu.
- Click on Settings from the dropdown next to Reports.
- Locate the 'Data Wizard SOQL records per execution' setting and change the value to 100.
- Locate the 'Data Wizard Report records per execution' setting and change the value to 100.
- Save the settings.
If necessary, you can reduce them further, ultimately to 1 record each. If you reach 1, then you should probably check other custom code, flows, or processes that are running outside of our product.
