To set your import/export options settings:
- Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
- In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
- In the sidebar select Services/Job Services.
- Select Import/Export.
- Under Import/Export Option:
- In the Store Files In Database field, select true if you want imported files including images to be stored in the database. Select false if you do not want files to be stored in the database.
- In the Temporary File Location(ASAP Service) field, enter the location to store the temporary file during the XML import/export process or image storing process. If you do not specify a location, the temporary file is placed in the bootstrap home location, which is in the P6 home directory (for example, c:\p6home).
- In the Maximum file size field, enter the maximum file size (in KB) for XML import/export and image files. JVM settings and available space in the Temporary File Location determine the file size. Users might need to alter the memory settings in their application server if the import/export file size is greater than the maximum default file size.
The default value is 102400.
Enter a value between 1024 and 2147483647.
Note: There are also settings to configure the maximum height and width of stored images in P6 on the Data Limits page of Application Settings.
