Important Points About ZIP Files and Archiving

  • You must use a file compression software such as 7-Zip to extract downloaded content or to upload a compressed LCM folder to the server.

  • Uploading a ZIP file greater than 2 GB is not supported.

  • When you archive a dataset, you must preserve the Unicode paths and file names.

    To do this using 7-Zip:

    1. Right click the File System folder and select 7-zip, and then Add to Archive.

    2. In the Add to Archive dialog box, set the following information:

      • In the Archive Format field, select Zip.

      • In the Parameters field, enter cu=on.

    3. Click OK.

    Note:

    If the UTF encoding is not preserved, and if the data set contains characters that need these encodings, the migration results in errors.
