Input is too large to create ByteBuffer - Error when running batch job on server

Hi.

I have some rather large simulations to run on a server. I send the scripts as batch jobs using parallel computing and they run just fine without errors. However, when they finish I get the error message

ErrorIdentifier: parallel:task:MJSUnableToSubmitResult - ErrorMessage: Unable to return results to jobmanager. The reason is: Input is too large to create ByteBuffer.

Does anyone know what could be the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Okay I found the problem.

I forgot to clear the input variables. So the job tried to return the entire workspace (including inputs and temporary variables) to the jobmanager.

The solution is:

clearvars -except var1 var2

where var1, var2, ... are the variables needed as an output.
