Because Essbase stores linked files in a repository on the server, by default, the size is unlimited. Limiting the file size prevents users from taking up too much of the server resources by storing extremely large objects. You can set the maximum linked file size for each application. If a user attempts to link a file that is larger than the limit, an error message displays.
To prevent users from attaching anything except very small files, enter 1. Setting the file size to 1 lets users link only cell notes, URLs, and files smaller than 1 KB.
The maximum file size setting applies only to linked files and does not affect cell notes or URLs. The lengths of the cell note, URL string, and LRO descriptions are fixed. For the maximum sizes of these objects, see Limits. |
