Attachment Size for docs?

[former_member757116]

Hi Folks,

What's the SAP recommended size for attachments, so that the system performance is also optimum and Users are also able to upload somewhat larger attachments.

Properties:

attachments.maxSizeKB.buyers

attachments.maxSizeKB.sellers

attachments attachments.upload.file.extension_list: Also is zip and .rar is a recommended format?

Thank you,

HM

To be honest, this is dependent on the environment and network bandwidth. Typically attachments of 5-10MB are not a problem. We have seen issues where attachments sizes get above 20-30MB.  There are a couple of issues to look out for:

1) is there a network rule that limits the size of a file that can enter/exit the network?

2) Are there timeout settings that could get hit if you wait too long for a very large file?

What is the requirement from a business standpoint?

Also .zip .rar are both valid options. Just make sure the file type(s) you prefer to use as attachments are enabled with the system property (  attachments.upload.file.extension_list  )  by default, these two are.

Regards,

Gary
