Environment
Novell Vibe OnPrem 3
Situation
User followed the tips listed in https://www.novell.com/documentation/vibe32/vibe32_user/data/trouble_fileupload.html to change local workstation Java settings to increase file upload size for the Java App upload utility(Drag and Drop files to upload). However, after changing the local machine settings, uploads still seemed to be not be working correctly.
Resolution
Though Novell believes Java is responsible size control of the uploads, further investigation has shown that we adding an additional parameter to the Java Applet Streaming Mode, should yield more reliable and less flaky large uploads. This change should be available in Vibe On Prem 3.3.0. Current version available is 3.2.0.
Cause
The client side Java applet is not consistent in it's workings.
Additional Information
A partial duplication has been seen by Novell. Adjusting the Java
settings has not give the consistent results that should be expected.
Novell has determined that Java is responsible for the size control of
the uploads, and something that Novell Vibe has no control over. If the
Java application is not allowing desired upload sizes, please use the
"Add Entry" option to use the browse feature as this allows for much
large uploads by default, or continue to increase the maximum size of
the uploads in the properties of the Java Console on the client
workstation.
There are three ways to upload files and control their limits in Vibe:
There are three ways to upload files and control their limits in Vibe:
- Drag and Drop via the Java application - controlled from individual local workstation with the Java Control Panel. This has a 64Mb limit to start with. See https://www.novell.com/documentation/vibe32/vibe32_user/data/trouble_fileupload.html on how to adjust local workstation settings to increase the size limit for uploads. This is also called Streaming Mode.
- Browse and select files via the Add Entry button - controlled from the Vibe server. This has a 2Gb starting limit. See https://www.novell.com/documentation/vibe32/vibe32_admin/?page=/documentation/vibe32/vibe32_admin/data/bmptgtc.html on how to adjust the Vibe configuration files to increase the size limit for uploads.
- Use the WebDav feature. https://www.novell.com/documentation/vibe32/vibe32_useradv/data/mngfldrs_webdav.html
