Resolution
Issue can be resolved for short term by restarting AAI.
To prevent this from happening in the future additional Java heap space will need to be added to AAI. There is no set amount of heap space to define but you can try increasing the amount incrementally until the error is no longer observed.
1. Edit jaws server.exe.vmoptions file Windows or jaws.sh.vmoptions on linux
2. Increase -Xmx option
3. Restart AAI
