Limiting LRO File Sizes

Essbase stores linked reporting object (LRO) files on the Essbase Server. To prevent very large files from being stored on the server, you can limit the size of files that users can link to data cells. If you have Application Manager permissions, you can set the maximum LRO file size for an application. If a user attempts to link a file that is larger than the specified limit, an error message is returned.

The maximum file size applies only to linked files; it does not affect cell notes or URLs. To prevent users from attaching anything except very small files, enter 1. This setting prevents users from linking anything other than cell notes, URLs, and files less than 1 KB.

  To specify a maximum LRO file size for an application:

  1. From Enterprise View or a custom view, select an application.

  2. Right-click and select Edit properties.

  3. In the Application Properties window, select the General tab.

  4. For the Max attachment file size option, enter a value, in kilobytes, for the maximum LRO file size.

  5. Click Apply to apply the setting.
