1848021 - BI BICS queries on BPM data sources causing OOM in AS Java

The Netweaver AS Java crashes with an OutOfMemoryError while performing BPM Real-Time Reporting with Visual Composer

• On 7.20-7.31 systems, in the work directory of the central dialog instance, the dev_jstart will contain an exit code of 666.  The std_server<n>.out log will contain java.lang.OutOfMemoryError or Out of memory or JLaunchIExitJava: exit hook is called (rc=666).  The dev_server<n>.out may contain entries such as LOG => SfCJavaVm: exit hook is called. (rc = 666)
  
• The server<n>/log/defaultTrace_nn.n.trc may contain entries such as:  The system is out of resources. Consult the following stack trace for details. java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

A heap dump will be generated automatically if the SAP JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is configured to generate heap dumps with this parameter:

• -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError 

A heap dump can be manually generated and analyzed per SAP Note 1883568 - How to self analyze a Heap Dump using MAT

Heap analysis will show this similar type of result:

<nnn> instances of "com.sap.ip.bi.bics.dataaccess.consumer.impl.queryview.QueryView", loaded by "sap.com/com.sap.ip.bi.bics" occupy (nnn,nnn,nnn) (20-70%) bytes. The memory is accumulated in one instance of "com.sap.ip.bi.bics.dataaccess.consumer.impl.queryview.QueryView" loaded by "sap.com/com.sap.ip.bi.bics"
