  MSDeploy getDependencies not responding Consuming great amount of memory(over 900MB) Reply Contact  Hi everyone, I am running the getDependencies command on a WebSiteId and MsDeploy keep running over and over and the amount of memory used by the process keeps growing and growing.. I stopped the process when the memory used was close to 1 Gb!!!! I used the -debug options but as the process never ends, i don't get any logs.. has someone encountered the same pb as me using this command? PS: In general running the getDependencies option with MSDeploy uses an average of 15-30 MB of memory to get information and it's quite fast.. Thanks for help..

  Re: MSDeploy getDependencies not responding Consuming great amount of memory(over 900MB) Reply Contact Hi, Is the website content for which getDependencies command is consuming lot of memory much more than other sites? When you run getDependencies for a particular source, msdeploy collects all the information about the source which then gets passed to getDependencies. If you have hundreds of thousands of files for this site, it is possible for msdeploy to consume lot of memory. I can't think of any other reason for memory consumption. If you do have lot of content for this website, Is it possible for you to get number of files? Thanks, Kanwal

I am not the administrator of the server so i was wondering where was the bug... thanks boss_west

  Re: MSDeploy getDependencies not responding Consuming great amount of memory(over 900MB) Reply Contact 350MB of data is not enough for msdeploy to consume 900MB of memory. Is it possible for you to check if there are multiple virtual directories pointing to same root folder? In that case, msdeploy might parse same directory multiple times. Also, is it possible for you to find number of files under this site root? We have verified that msdeploy consumes reasonable amount of memory when moving million files. I wonder what makes it consume memory upto 900MB. -Kanwal-

  Re: MSDeploy getDependencies not responding Consuming great amount of memory(over 900MB) Reply Contact Msdeploy isn't to blame for consume this big amount of memory. in fact, the website parsed by msdeploy is pointing on the root folder of all hosted websites on the server!!! I don't know why?? here are the real figures: the root folder is in fact a 119 GB one with over  2 085 000 files and 143 193 children folder! So this website isn't really working and may not exist... i 've inform the admin of this..

We will look into reducing our memory footprint for large number of files for our RTW release. Thanks for providing these numbers.
