instead of working towards increasing the heap size you should solve the other way around.
Why is taking up so much heap space? Any thing you have found while debugging? Some possible scenarios which i can think of: 1.You may be working with large set of objects before doing database commit/they go out of scope .Those large set are occupying huge amount of memory which results in OutofMemoryError Solution : Use pagination and try to work with smaller set of objects. 2.Some weird runtime error.
