User request is completed. (Ran out of memory)

Unable to Run/Edit particular MicroStrategy reports ue to the following error:

User request is completed. (Ran out of memory)

User request is completed.
(Ran out of memory)




The above issue appeared in MSTR Web Universal version 10.5

We tried the below options without any luck:
1. i-server restart
2. Web server restart
3. clear document cache/dataset cache
4. Web server cache clear as below:



The correct option is to increase the contract memory settings:

Using the Memory Contract Manager

The MCM settings are in the Intelligence Server Configuration Editor, in the Governing Rules: Default: Memory Settings category.
The Enable single memory allocation governing option lets you specify how much memory can be reserved for a single Intelligence Server operation at a time. When this option is enabled, each memory request is compared to the Maximum single allocation size (MBytes) setting. If the request exceeds this limit, the request is denied. For example, if the allocation limit is set to 100 MB and a request is made for 120 MB, the request is denied, but a request for 90 MB is allowed.
