What to do next
Important: To be able to import very large databases,
you must modify the memory parameter of the Software Delivery Platform.
Its maximum value varies according to the operating system and the
memory available. You must then find the maximum value for your configuration.
To do so, edit the eclipse.ini file located directly
under the root of your Software Delivery Platform. Start replacing -Xmx1024m with -Xmx1236m.
If this value is accepted, increase it progressively until you reach
the maximum value accepted by your configuration.
