Problem Symptoms

•  After Voyager upgrade, running Publishing extract (Pprimoexp.pub) fails or hangs
•  Error prints to screen or appears in primo.export.[datestamp].log: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
•  Files may not finish being packaged (.tar.gz) in /m1/voyager/xxxdb/primo/Publishing/bundled/

Cause

Upgrade included a headings regen; when publishing extract attempts to process all records with headings changes using a changed since date prior to upgrade, it runs out of Java memory.

Resolution

1. Edit /m1/voyager/xxxdb/ini/PrimoExp-Publishing.ini
2. Modify the HeadingChanges option to ensure headings changes are NOT processed:

# HeadingChanges determines whether to export bibliographic records

# whose cross-references have changed

# -H Y|N overrides this parameter on the command line

HeadingChanges=N

3. Save PrimoExp-Publishing.ini
4. Run Publishing extract again, using same ChangedSince date
5. After extract is complete, switch HeadingChanges setting back to "Y" to process any headings changes moving forward.
