Error in XML Gateway Processing - java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

Question

Hi All,
We have B2B Customizations for Processing Orders in our Applications .
While an Inbound Document(ORDERSTATUS Document) got processed in our Application, we could find the Document being errored out in XML gateway with the following errors:
(Note: Partners are on E2Open Gateway and we dont use Webmethods)
1) ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError- ECX_INBOUND_NEW.PROCESS_XML_DOC
2) ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError - ecx_utils.INITIALIZE:
The Error has occured only twice (one in the month of May and the other in June) and its not replicable.
We verified all the Trending aspects (If the Issue is due to XML Document content, Specific to a particular Partner etc).
But we didnt find any clue about the occurence of this error.
Kindly provide your views on the occurence of the error.
Thanks in Advance,
Mangala.

Hi Mangala,
This error comes when JVM runs out of memory. Few cause may be -
1. You are trying to operate on a very large file (comparing to your system's primary memory)
2. You are trying to parse an xml, use SAX parser for best performance
3. Your JVM_OPTIONS value is not sufficient
You may consider increasing your JVM_OPTIONS value to some appropriate limit.
Are you working with Matthew Sullivan/Richard's team?
