Policy Sync is used with APM in the GUI. This is easily reproducible on 4 GB boxes (set up policy sync in an HA configuration and sync a few policies).

Workaround

To work around the problem: 1. To get the admin UI back: bigstart restart tomcat 2. To give more memory to the admin UI: tmsh modify sys db provision.tomcat.extramb value 100 save sys config

Fix Information

User is able to sync a large policy, resolve location-specific objects (LSO) on target, and complete the sync without any error.
