This kind of things is not something Appian is made for. Hitting walls when trying to force it is expected.

Unfortunately that cannot be done. How would I increase the heap instead?

You probably want to find a way to split this in multiple files.

Hi,

Thank you for the suggestion. It does seem to be a way to accomplish what I would like to do. However I am running into hitting max heap usage. What is the correct way to increase heap size in appian? I've tried looking and there isn't a lot of directly helpful information.

1st thing I would try is to load the file as is in the DB and just delete/ignore the 1st and last rows.

Otherwise, you might be able to do something with this plugin:
