Cause:
======
By setting the queue size to 0 in the destination config means an unlimited queue size so all the messages that should be queuing up in EMS are being copied into BE's memory causing the Outof memory Exceptions.

Resolution:
=========
Tuning  the queue size and num of threads to approriate values resolved the issue.

calculation:
queuSize = numThreads * 128
numThreads= number of cpu cores
