I have a few presale questions regarding file sizes in the SCM.

1. What is the recommended maximum file size for binary and non-binary data in the SCM?
2. What is the absolute maximum file size for the SCM?
3. Can you set file size restrictions based on repository? project? team? role? time?
4. Are there metrics on the speed performance of RTC based on file size?
5. Can SCM artifacts be linked to over the web?
6. Can SCM artifacts be updated directly from the browser?

I have a few presale questions regarding file sizes in the SCM.

1. There is no maximum size.
2. There is none. We chain blogs on the server, the absolute is the size allocated to the database for disk storage.
3. You can set the maximum size for SCM files using the admin web ui advanced property called: SCM > Versioned Content Maximum Size.
4. No. But we do have recommendations for the # of files in a component and the performance of file area updates and shares. They are described in http://jazz.net/library/article/205 (at the end).
5. Yes, browse the web ui Source Control tab of use the copy link action in the ui.
6. In 2.0.0.2 this will be enabled. You will be able to check-in, download, lock, delete, etc... files directly from the web ui.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
