Hi Nelson,
Did you try increasing the Heap size for EAS ? Try the following and check if you still get the error -
increase the Java heap settings in the EAS script on a Unix platform that was configured using the automatic deployment method, do the following:
1. Navigate to the $HYPERION_HOME/deployments/{appserver}/bin directory.
2. Edit the setCustomParamseas.sh(.bat) script.
3. Modify or add the -Xms and -Xmx settings to the JAVA_OPTIONS variable. For example:
+JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xms256m -Xmx1024m -DComponentName=eas -DcomponentId=1e3bf92b2d9bb0493bcd3380127b0ca49ee7f50 -Dsun.net.inetaddr.ttl=0 -DHYPERION_HOME=/usr/local/oracle/hyperion -Dhyperion.home=/usr/local/oracle/hyperion -DEAS_HOME=/usr/local/oracle/hyperion/products/Essbase/eas -DESS_ES_HOME=/usr/local/oracle/hyperion/products/Essbase/eas/server -DEAS_LOG_LEVEL=5000 -DEAS_LOG_LOCATION=/usr/local/oracle/hyperion/logs/eas/easserver.log -DCLIENT_SERVER_DIFF_MC=true -Dweblogic.j2ee.application.tmpDir=/usr/local/oracle/hyperion/deployments/temp -Djava.io.tmpdir=/usr/local/oracle/hyperion/tmp ${JAVA_OPTIONS} "+
+*Note: For Tomcat deployments, the setting to modify is JAVA_OPTS:*+
+*JAVA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx1024m*+
4. Stop and restart EAS for the setting to take effect.
Hope it helps....
