Heap size for the Change Assistant

Sometimes when we import BIG package the default heap size for the Change Assistant will need to be increased in order to show the template (xml file).

Please follow the steps below to increase the heap size. This must be done before you open Change Assistant to apply the package: 1. Right click on the CA shortcut that you use to launch CA. 2. Choose Properties... 3. In the Target text box append -Xmx300m should look like "C:\Program Files\PeopleSoft\Change Assistant\changeassistant.exe" -Xmx300m
