Does Excel Report Writer have a Row limit? - getting stuck at 3000 rows

Hi

I'm fairly new to pipeline piplot and trying to get to grops with the Excel report writer. I'm hitting errors when my row copunt gets above about  3000  rows and 50 columns. Error message is variable, have occasionally had a java heap error, or a memory access violation error, oftem the protocol just seems to get stuck in the report writing step. If I back off to 2000 rows, the protocol completes.

the messages suggest a memory limit is being hit, (though the server status dialog never shows utilization avove 15% for CPU or memory for the server overall)

whilst this is not exactly a small data set, It’s also not particularlrly large. Is this an error that others have experienced. or a own limitation of the report writer? are there any settings or approaches that might alleviate?

Thanks for any guidance anyone can offer
