    2. Maximum Number of files that can be uploaded to a folder and overall

    3. Maximum size of a folder

    Hi Uruj,

     

    This answers your 4th Question: 

     

     

    You can set this from Administration --> System options page. 

    Yon will be able to alter these parameters also but CA recommends to keep it 20 MB, increasing more than this might effect the application's performance. But yes, system won't stop you if you want to set the max limit to 30 MB. 

     

    Other questions you have: I really dont know if there is any limit for those. I have not seen anywhere so far. 

     

    Hope this helps. 

     

    Thanks, 

    Abhisek Dhar

    The rest of the questions come down to the third question - the size of the folder that has been set. It is the overall folder size limit that will control how many files you can upload.

     

    In CA PPM On-Premise, you can configure this setting  yourself. See here for a screenshot or here for the CA PPM documentation.

     

    Top of my head, I'm not aware of this folder size setting for a CA PPM SaaS customer.  If you don't get an answer here, please log a CA Support issue and we can check the setting directly.

     

    Another way of thinking is to rephrase the reverse questions:

    "How many documents and how much space do I anticipate using?"

    Most sites (I guess) won't be anywhere near a practical cap if adding a large number of small documents, or a regular number of medium size ones.

     

    Thanks, Kyle_R.

    We don't put a cap unless you want to control from internal governance stand point. The screen shot Abhisek shared is to download allowable limit

    Thanks,

     

    After going through different thoughts and suggestions, my understanding is that there is no cap on number of folders/ sizes.

     

    However, the file size looks fixed to be 20 MB and is not related with system options (there I have 25 MB).

     

    So, my question is if I want to increase the size to 30 MB (say), can CA does some setting for SaaS environment? and is the size setting available for on-premise CSA?

     

    Regards

    Apart from system option, the control is from governor limits Governor Limits in CA PPM - CA Knowledge 

     

    #Maximum Document upload Size

    DMS_DOCUMENT_MAX_SIZE=20

     

    In SAAS we don't recommend changing this settings but if this is a use case where its required, please raise a case and it can be worked as exception after having a discussion internally and with the business.

     

    Hope this helps
