Bamboo has run out of heap memory space while importing your export.
Resolution
- Shutdown Bamboo
- Increase min and max heap allocation to the JVM on your Bamboo. It should be increased to 1024m at the least but you may need to go higher
- See the following documentation on how to configure system properties of Bamboo on startup: Configuring bamboo on start-up
- For example, add the following arguments to your JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS:
-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m(please customize to your requirements)
- Start Bamboo
- You should be able to verify that the memory limits were increased under Bamboo Administration >> Overview >> System Information.
