size of the stream and repository


Vaijayanti Vaidya (044) | asked Dec 09 '11, 12:08 p.m.
Hi,

One of the development team has the file size of around 1GB to be checked in RTC. Is there any limitation on RTC for the size of stream or size of repository. We are using Oracle DB for SCM and using RTC 3.0.

Over the period of time, with the number of checkins the size of stream will grow dramatically.

What is the best way to handle such project/stream without impacting other streams.

Thanks,
vavaidya

The main effect of large files in the repository are:
- the server overhead of uploading/downloading those files to/from the
repository
- the increased backup/restore/upgrade overhead

But for most other operations, having more large blobs in the database
doesn't matter, since blob-size doesn't affect the size of the indices
needed for queries.

Cheers,
Geoff
