By default AIX limits maximum file size to 1GB

When writing files larger than 1GB in AIX, I receive a "File too large" error.
This file size limit presents a problem, especially when creating large files,
such as LDIF exports from a Directory Server istance or message store dumps
from a Messaging Server instance.

By default, AIX limits the maximum size of files to 1GB. However, root can
adjust the maximum file size for itself with the following command: 

$ulimit -f arbitrary_large_number
 

The -f modifier
specifies the maximum file size. For example, 

$ulimit -f 4194304

This values for the maximum size of files is set in the
/etc/security/limits
file. The default values in this file are as follows: 

fsize = 2097151 
core = 2097151 
cpu = -1 
data = 262144 
rss = 65536 
stack = 65536 
nofiles = 2000 

To view your local default values, use the following command: 

$ulimit -a

Any user can adjust the maximum file size limit downward. For example, 

$ulimit -f 
2097151 
$ulimit -f 100 
$ulimit -f 
100 
$cp /unix /tmp/MyBigFile #(copy a big file to another location with enough space) 
File too large 
$ls -al /tmp/MyBigFile 
-rwxr--r-- 1 UserID GroupID 51200 Jul 25 08:41 MyBigFile
$

However, only root can adjust the ulimit
file size limits upward. Such changes
will take effect only after the user logs in again.

Additionally, it is possible to set specific user limits with the
chuser command. For
information on chuser,
click the following URL: 

http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/cmds/aixcmds1/chuser.htm#A067913d9

For more information on the ulimit
command, check the following URL: 

http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/cmds/aixcmds5/ulimit.htm
Note: 
The shell in use may affect the actual limits imposed by ulimit
. In particular,
/usr/csh may not
properly adjust the limit from the default value. Also,
bash (Bourne Again shell)
may treat file sizes in blocks as though they were file sizes in kilobytes(KB).

The size you can handle is not limited... only by your code :-)
Check MemoryMappedFiles... i handle Gigabyte files with no problem ;-)

Please advice me what shoud be the maximum file size that can be uploaded at one time.
Thanks in advance.
Honey

Hi,
By default the maximum file size is 128 MB. You can configure that in visual administrator.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/05/35e13d8ee48f5ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm
If you as administrator need to upload a file with larger size, you can use km file repository like etc. and can upload file from OS.

Maximum file size using htmlb:fileUpload

Hello Gurus,
in a bsp application we are using htmlb:fileUpload. It was possible to upload a 43 MB file without problem. But our maximum file size is about 220 MB. We made a test with a 190 MB file. After we hit the post button, the browser disconnects immediately (without timedelay) with the message: page cannot be displayed.
for me it looks like we hit some restriction.
any idears how to manage the 220 MB file in the browser beside splitting it into smaller files would be greatly appreciated.
thx a lot in advance and regards from
Michael

Hello again,
could it be this parameter which is for the limitation responsible ?
icm/HTTP/max_request_size_KB = 102400
thx and best regards from Michael

Maximum File Size - 2GB?

Does java have a formal maximum file size for java.io.File?
Somewhere along the way here where I work we started assuming it was 2GB, is that accurate?
Our customer output files are starting to get in the neighborhood of 2GB, and management wants a plan.
Do 64-bit JDKs support larger files?
Does the max file size depend on JDK vendor?
Is there a way to get 32-bit JDKs to open say 5-6GB files?

In all cases, I believe, the file size limits are imposed by the underlying operating system, and the value varies (by system and os version).
Refer to the documentation for your os.

Maximum file size data that can be send to MQ using mq adapter

Dear All,
What is the maximum file size data that can be send to MQ using mq adapter ?
The file can be csv, fixed , xml.
Please let me know if anybody is aware of any limitations
Best Regards
Arc

If you are on 10g then you are looking at a limit of 7MB, although any messages over 1MB will require some tuning.
You can integrate using the native schema, or xml so you can use csv, fixed length, and xml files.
cheers

Maximum File size on DMP

Hello,
Is there a maximum file size that DMP 4400G can support. We are trying to upload a 7GB MPEG file to the DMP with an attached 16Gb USB flash drive. However, it fails when it reaches 56% with an FTP error: ( "Unable to write data to the transport connection: An existing connection was
forcibly closed by the remote host.")
Is there a maximum file size that the DMP FTP daemon supports?
Thanks

I am not aware of any File size limitations in the DMP.
I tested with DMP-4400G running 5.2.
I created a 7GB file and used FTP (Filezilla) to upload file to
USB2 on the DMP.
The file transfered without issue.
I would suggest trying a different file and test
transfer again.
For Example:
(linux, OS X, unix)
command = dd
dd - create a large file for testing
Description
To create a 7 GB file:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=file_7GB bs=7m count=1k
Example
dd if=/dev/zero of=file_7GB bs=7m count=1k
* What FTP client are you using?
* What format type is file?
* What version of code on the DMP?
* What file format is used on the external USB drive?
* What manufacturer & model# of the flash being used?
Thanks

Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035
As suggested above I assume this is a microsoft issue? It has been discussed here and other forums for quite some time. I never have seen a fix? I wish when we received errors of this nature microsoft would tell us what they were. How is this related to superfetch? What is superfetch? Why would superfetch have changed?
BY THE WAY.... Superfetch is on(started) is on automatic and logs on as local system. So this is not the cause of my issue. Also what is readyboot? Does the average computer really know what these programs/services or unique microsoft words/terms are?

CLM - Maximum File Size for Contract Documents

We did a search but did not find an answer for this. For the CLM system does anybody know SAP's recommendation on the maximum file size that the application can reliably handle for contract documents? We recently increased the maximum file size from 10MB to 50MB to accommodate a larger than allowed file size. Now the business has requested the capacity to add files (pdf files) up to 115MB. Would increasing our file limit to approximately 150MB be within the recommended parameters?

There is no specific recommendation for maximum file sizes as this depends on how your time-out parameters are set, your server resources and network (also tunneling policies). The fact is the higher the filesize the more risk you run in unreliable uploads. Compressing files before uploading is a good practise for larger files.
These are the same issues which you would run into if you for example upload to a sharepoint site or even a copy on a shared drive, it all depends on the same parameters.
Tunneling policies could also affect your performance as it will limit the upload speeds according the priority set on certain network activities and if it limits your bandwidth you run in the risk of time-out so as you see there is no straight answer to your question. I know customers who can without no problem upload 150Mb files and others who already have issues with 50Mb.
Unfortunate, as I do not know your architecture and infrastructure I can only advice to stresstest the conditions of 150 Mb uploades with several user ids and see if you get time-outs or if it degrades the network performance. One of the questions you should ask your business is how frequent are the occurences of 150Mb+ uploads and if it is the appropiate way. It could be that these are very rare and in that case you could ask them to do this outside the busy hours of the network which will provides you less risk in problems.

What is the maximum file size allowed by Yosemite's Archive Utility?

I've seen radically different answers to this question, ranging from ".zip files have a 4GB size limit" to "no limit other than the OS maximum file size". It's been very difficult to find current info on this.
I have lots of large folders full of recording projects --- I'm talking up to 45GB or so --- and I've been experimenting with different methods of zipping them in preparation for cloud backup. Several applications have been willing to zip my enormous folders into archives, but then choke when unzipping them, telling me that the files cannot be unzipped or are corrupted. Using the "Compress" shortcut in the finder has so far yielded the best results, keeping all necessary resource forks, etc., and unzipping properly, even when other apps have insisted the files are corrupted. However, I'm afraid to continue with this procedure until I can get a straight answer on this issue: have I just been lucky so far? IS there an actual size limit?
...It only seems to work when I both zip and unzip with the Archive Utility. Other archiving apps will either render the included projects unreadable by my recording software when zipping (I suspect because of alteration or stripping of resource forks), or will refuse to read the giant .zip archives generated by Archive Utility.
I've set up the Archive Utility to produce .zip files, as I feel these are the most likely to be recognized by a variety of cloud storage services.ny
...Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
The 1,048,576 rows & 16,384 columns is the
workbook size limitation in Excel 2013. Thus, I recommend we try the Mr. Bernie's suggestions to import the large CSV file.
1. Use VBA to read the file line by line and split/examine the import file in sections. If you have further question about the VBA, please post your question to the MSDN forum for Excel
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
2. Use Excel 2013 add-ins. Power Pivot and Power Query. For more detailed information, please see the below articles:

Ulimit and launchctl both fail to restrict maximum file size

I've submitted a bug report, but I figured I'd open this up to the community. I can't seem to find any way to set restrictions on the maximum file size that can be created on OS X.   I've tested both Snow Leopard and Lion.
*** Ulimit method:
$ ulimit -f 100000
$ ulimit -f
100000
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zero
Filesize limit exceeded: 25
$ ls -al /tmp/zero
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin wheel 102400000 Jul 5 08:23 /tmp/zero
$ ulimit -f
unlimited
*** launchctl method:
$ launchctl limit filesize 100000
$ launchctl limit filesize
filesize    100000         100000
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zero
dd: /tmp/zero: No space left on device
54883985+0 records in
54883984+0 records out
28100599808 bytes transferred in 683.205935 secs (41130497 bytes/sec)
$ ls -al /tmp/zero
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin wheel 28100599808 Jul 5 08:36 /tmp/zero
$ launchctl limit filesize
filesize    unlimited      100000
In the first case, a limit does get set. But when the first launched application returns control back to the terminal, the limit gets reset back to "unlimited".    In the second case, launchctl does appear to list a soft and hard limit for "filesize", however it does not stop dd from filling up the disk. Running launchctl again shows an "unlimited" soft limit, but the hard limit remains.
I've even tried setting a persistent, global limit via /etc/launchd.conf.   launchctl reports this limit, however there is nothing stopping huge files from being created.
I do think that this is a bug on OS X, but perhaps there's something I'm overlooking? If it is a bug, is there some workaround that I can use?
Thanks

There are no file size limits to the software beyond what would be imposed by the operating system itself and the file format of the drive.
So...assuming you have enough drive space, something else is going on.

Is there a way around the Maximum File size of 2.0 GB Exceeded message???

I tried to bounce a two hour mix set for the first time today, and I received this message
---->Maximum File size of 2.0 GB Exceeded
I've tied fiddling with the tempo (read somewhere that this might help), but to no avail. I originally wanted to bounce a file down to 192 kbps. I mean is there no way to record anything over an hour and a half into Logic?
Please advise! Thanks!

Yes. Use the .caf file format. No file size restrictions.
LP8 Use4r Manual. p. 359:
*Maximum Recording Size*

What is an idea of maximum file size for a film in Captivate?

Hi there,
I'm creating an elearning course in Captivate 7, and it is being published as HTML5. This means the films I've imported are being converted to MP4s, and they are around 10-20mb in size once they've converted. They seem very slow to load on some computers - do you think the file size is too big? Or could it be another issue? Does anyone have a recommendation for maximum file size for films? They are 572 x 322px and around 1-2 mins in length.
Thanks in advance

Probably better guidelines that dictates 'size' of a vi are:
typically no more than 1 video screen in size
is it legible
and is it's function and operation clear.
I have seen examples of '1 vi does it all' that were many screens wide and tall, totally a flustercuck, and nearly 1 MB in size.
Globals and local variables (except for LV2 style) are typcially shunned for they can create a host of problems (race conditions, indeterminant data).
Use connector pane to wire controls and indicators to. Then use wires between vi's to transfer data. I tend to use clusters to hold shared data.

Maximum file-size for HR EIC emails

Hi folks
We currently use EIC in ERP, and have an issue with sending large emails/attachments as the maximum file-size appears to be only 2MB. This is set in the IMG activity Employee Interaction Center (EIC) -> Interaction Center Web-Client -> Communication Channels ->E-Mail -> Define E-Mail Profiles, the attachment maximum size is set to a maximum of 2,147,483 bytes.
I have tried searching for anyone else having a similar problem, but haven't found anything. I would imagine many customers would have EIC users in a Shared Services environment sending attachments over 2 meg; so before we log a call with SAP, has anyone else had this issue and how did you resolve it?
Thanks very much.
James

The maximum value is 2,147,483 bytes, which is what the config is set to. This seems pretty low, especially in this day and age.

By default AIX limits maximum file size to 1GB
