创建任务时出错：服务器目前无法保存表单。 请再试一次。 （SharePoint 2013）

Question

I get the following error while saving a task inside task list:

"The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."

I tried restarting "search service host controller" .

The server has 8 GB RAM and according to task manager, 6.67 GB is being used.

I logged into the site with user which is the owner of the site. I tried creating tasks from client as well as the SharePoint server itself. Same error is shown in both the cases.

How do I find information on the exact problem that is causing the error? What are possible solutions?

Answer 1

I have found this to be directly related to the Search Host Controller Service. This apparently is gobbling up all the memory on the WFE. Once restarted I can now save the form items. I watched it regress from 8gb (max on this server) to about 6.7gb and suddenly this red error went away. I plan on doubling the memory to 16gb to try to remove the problem altogether.
