Anybody tries to use postman previously . If so,which version is most recommended as I used version 7.3.4,7.29 and both of these versions got crashed during the processing time so please advise as I retrieve more than 60,000 records from a certain service.
Your advice would be highly appreciated.

Hi all,
I found that the postman tool is not a recommended solution to fetch more than 65,000 records but it might be useful for small data. As I tried to fetch large data, postman kept crashed suddenly and didn't complete the process . However, it fetches small data (200-1000 records) but it didn't exceed more than that.
Anybody gets stuck with it and have a new approach for this case, please post it to be accepted as a new alternative approach.

- richie4 years agoCommunity HeroHey Coder,
You say your request returns "null", but can you explain what that actually means?
When you check taskmanager, does the vm resource usage just continue to increase without plateauing?
Is there a way to filter the retrieved recordset so you only fetch a certain number of rows? The reason im asking this is that an exposed api that allows the user to retrieve 60k records is not really helpful to the user, so id expect perhaps a query parameter enabling you to filter the query to be avialable....or at least this is what ive found before now.
When you submit the request do you get any sort of response (http response code) or does it just hang and never finish?
Most testing tools are gonna struggle to retrieve 60k records cos unless theyve been opyimised to handle this number of records, the whole 60k recordset needs to be loaded into memory to enable it to display it.
If youre not getting a response at all and the request for the 60k records doesnt complete, id be interested in viewing the logging of your http/application server cos the problem could actually be at that end and NOT at the ReadyAPI!/SoapUI end. From your current description im starting to suspect the issue is the app server.
