- Under Import/Export Options:
- Select Store Files In Database if you want imported files including images to be stored in the database. Leave this field clear 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 and image files.
Note: The JVM settings and available space in the Temporary File Location also affect the maximum file size for import. The maximum file size for export is determined by the JVM settings of your application server and the space available in the Temporary File Location.
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.
