Hi harsha,

This article provides a good discussion of what is going on and how you can fix it:

The best place to 'play' with your JVM parameters is the setenv.sh file, located in the bin directory of your tomcat/JIRA.

Hello Harsha,

Benji's suggestion is absotely right. Another suggestion is to install JAVA Melody Plugin (free plugin) that will allow you to monitor your JIRA memory so that you could perfome some tuning on that.

Hi Fabio,

Looks like a handy plugin. Thanks for the tip!

I have changed the parameters in bin/setenv.bat file. But no luck...

We have lot of issues in the Jira instance. May be around 25,000. Is that causing the issue? If so, can i take the database dump and apply ? Is there any other better way?
