Splitting Conversion Export Files into Smaller Files

After you generate an export file, you can split the file into smaller, more manageable files. This is beneficial for object types such as Control because it could have up to 130,000 records. Note that an average desktop can typically only run about 10 simultaneous conversion import processes.

To split an export file into smaller files

Launch Consoleapps.exe as described in Parameters for Running Consoleapps.exe to Convert Strings and use the SplitFile business service method with the parameters listed in Table 40.
For example,

"SplitFile: Filename=Control.txt, Lines=2000"

Table 40. Input Parameters for the SplitFile Business Service Method
Parameter	Required	Description
Filename	Y	Export file
Lines	Y	Approximate number of lines in each file. The application does not break up a set of symbolic strings, so the number of lines may not match this parameter exactly.
