API-calls get a timeout if package is over 2,5KB (DEV-environment)

Hello!

I'm calling API's in my Dev-environment. This works fine as long as the JSON-Package coming back is up to 2,5KB. I get an answer in a few microseconds. But as soon as the JSON is 2,6KB or bigger, the request runs into a timeout. BC creates the record correctly, it's just not able to send it.

I'm using BC24.1 in a Docker-Container created with the BCContainerHelper in PowerShell.

I've talked with our IT-security team, with DEVs from our partner, but they have no idea, what could cause this.

I know that this is difficult to answer, but maybe someone has run into this problem as well. I'm thankful for any suggestion how to solve this.

Thanks!
Christopher

Hi, This looks like a limitation in docker, have you tested it in the cloud version?

Thanks to all of you,

but that didn't change anything. The CPU is chilling anyway and there are multiple GB of free memory.
On the other side:
My problem isn't a huge amount of data. 2,6KB, that's equivalent to 105 records in the G/L-Entry-API. 104 records came back in 32ms.

Are there any other suggestions? I'm still looking for a solution.

Best regards,
Chris

Hello,

I Do Agree with the Experts, Mr. Suresh Kulla and Mr. Ramesh Kumar.

You need to Increase the Memory Limit.

Are you having this issue with the container or on Saas, if the container I would recommend you increase the memory limit to 16G or so when you create the container and try it again.

Hi Chris,

I not sure if you already check but I would say can you please check Increase memory and CPU limits in the Docker container configuration and API Timeout Configuration.

Thanks!
