2 Common Error Messages

2.1 Delta Rejected, Delta Queue Connection Has Closed

This error message is shown when making changes on a model, but the connection to the Online Working Copy on the Model Server has already been closed. This sometimes happens if your script executes a commit too quickly, without waiting until all model updates have been run.

2.2 JS Allocation Failed, Process Out of Memory

This can happen when you open a huge model and then load a lot of documents (for example, pages, microflows). You can increase the memory available to your script by running it using the max-old-space-size flag and an appropriate memory size in MB:

node --max-old-space-size=4096 script.js
