Mark, thanks for responding.   Do you have a recommendation as to how much I should 
increase the perm gen space?  
 Also, is there anything else I can do to run my decision tables more efficiently?

Jan


try increasing your perm gen space.

Would like some advice regarding using Decision Tables in DROOLS 5.6.0 Final. 
 We have decision tables with over 12,000 rows. 
 It is a basic ‘look-up’ table with 3 conditions and 2 actions. 
 The conditions are, for example:   Company = X Dept = X   Class = X then value = X and log X.
 When I reduced the number of rows to approx. 500 . .. it works.

 We have tried compiling the decision tables using the spreadsheet compiler as well as the decision table compiler.

Below is the error when using the decision table compiler. 
 However, we get the same PermGen space error with the spreadsheet compiler.

Obviously, we need to be able to have more than 500 rows in our decision table(s).    Any advice would be appreciated. >
