There seems no hard limit on maximum file size in Jazz Source Control.

If found recommended number of files which is 50,000 files and folders in a single component.

Is there recommended maximum file size ? 1GB, 2GB, 3GB, 4GB ?
In my environment (Derby) it was working okay up to 2.5GB but was not able to checkin about 4GB. In another environment it was working okay up to 3.9GB but there was problem when the size is 4GB.

In 2.0, we don't have a maximum file size limit enforced and can support any size, but with Derby, which is really a demo/tirekicker database for SCM, you've found the limit. This is why we don't recommend Derby for any Team Concert usage that includes SCM.

Here is system spec of another machine which has problem. The DB is not Derby but DB2.

RTC: Enterprise Edition 2.0.0.1
DB2: DB2 Workgroup V9.5+FP04a

On Pending Changes window, after checking in file it supposed to disappear from 'Unresolved' then move to 'Outgoing'. But for files over 4GB, it does not disappear from 'Unresolved' after moving to 'Outgoing', means there are two files displayed both on 'Unresolved' and 'Outgoing'.

Any idea ?
Any suggestion for tuning ?

Thank you!

Sorry for the delay, but we've found the cause and reproduced. This happens on windows platforms only and is a client problem with our native filesystem library that ships as part of Eclipse. The details are in the work item that we will include in the 2.0.0.2 iFix.

So it's not a server limitation, but a problem on windows only. We will be delivering fixes soon.

Cheers,
