[Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g)]

You might try downloading EAD directly from the backend API and verify that it is working:

However, when we try to export that information through a background job to create a PDF or CSV file we get an error “Java heap space”. If we run the following query in “MySQL Workbench” it completes in less than 3 seconds.
