Please help me to solve this issue,
Thanks in advance,

Hi @khemlalnirmalkar,

I would suggest to switch to a more recent version of qiime if it is possible.
Still I would not expect this to fix your error, which is most likely a memory issue as discussed in: :sleeping:Denoising error, names attribute must be the same length as vector

That is, reducing the number of threads you are using should fix the problem!
Cheers

This is the bulk of the error message, it is a bit cryptic, but it indicates that you have over-subscribed your host machine - you need to specify fewer threads when running q2-dada2.

Yes, thanks @thermokarst @llenzi,
with fewer threads, it worked,
