Sequence getting aborted due to Heap allocation failed.

I am trying to run a extraction sequence and this seqeunce is getting aborted due to the below error in one of the job.

The current soft limit on the data segment (heap) size (2147483645) is less than the hard limit (2147483647), consider increasing the heap size limit.

Details of the aborting job:
This job is used to extract data from a SAP table using a BAPI interface.

Please let me know if any one has any pointers to this issue.

You are doing more than simple reading & writing - is it possible that you have a sort stage in there somewhere, perhaps an implicit sort? Are you repartitioning during the course of your job?
The solution to your problem is to redesign your job to make more efficient use of the resources you have available.

Searching the forum for "heap allocation failed" (exact match) could prove illuminating.

Yah, it's not like we've never talked about that error before.
