Step by Step Scenario
- Add more number of packages for example 90
- Try to package the delivery.
Action Plan
Try to increase the memory used by java for DMT which is explained in this page Delivery Manager Tool - Extraction - Fatal Error - java lang OutOfMemoryError

If this doesn’t help try packaging individual packages which would not use the memory completely at once.
- You can use the following generic script which would package each package separately and would create a window between the packaging for the memory limitations.(Need to tailor the script to the one’s needs) Generic Script.bat
If the above do not work another workaround is to create a file DeliveryManagerTool-CLI.l4j.ini and place it in the Delivery Manager Tool Folder of your installation
The file should have the entry as below –
-Xmx16048m
Re run the packaging after placing the file
