One of my
client using SharePoint standalone machine for 400 people for their internal
applications. Everything working as expected but one day all of sudden got an
error message saying that,
Unexpected response
from server, The status code of response is '500'. The status text of response
is 'System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException'.
This error
cause due to high memory usage in the server. Verify task manager and check
what service taking more time. In my case Search service taking much time. We
can fix the issue using options below,
Option 1:
Search Service Node Runner.exe
Reduce the
Search Service Performance Level with
Set-SPEnterpriseSearchService -PerformanceLevel
Reduced
As
NoderRunner.exe is the process working on search service, we can limit the
memory for NodeRunner.exe. But this is not recommended. We can change the configuration
located in “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\15.0\Search\Runtime\1.0\noderunner.exe.config”
Option
2: Restart servers
For
Temporary solution like users wants to make SharePoint up and Running, Restart
the server, so that you can see the error temporarily (You get some time to
increase resources or restrict Services to specific value)
Hope this helps to resolve the issue.
