Allow customers who have PUB licenses to generate reports in DNG beyond 8GB heap restriction

This is useful because it would allow us to generate the configuration comparison report in DNG. We are not able to generate this report in DNG as we have a large number of changes, even for small project areas.

For example, EDG would require about 10GB heap for us to run the configuration comparison in a small project area of about 50,000 artifacts and 10-12 users. We are comparing the current stream against a baseline that is about 18 days old. (We tested using PUB Eclipse client, and 8GB heap failed and 10GB succeeded.)

For example, if we purchased 10 PUB licenses, we would like to be able to set the EDG heap in DNG to a higher number for 10 users.

-- The first 10 users should be able to run reports that exceed the 8GB heap restriction.

-- User 11, 12 would only get 8GB heap as normal. The higher number could be something like DNG heap size

-- 8GB buffer (to avoid crashing the server).

    Publishing team performed additional analysis and concluded that Engineering Document Generation (EDG) component which allows publishing documents from applications like DOORS Next, does not have 8GB heap restriction. DOORS Next or any application with EDG could have larger heap which depends on the application allocated RAM and heap. Therefore, this RFE is closed.
