Set maximum sizes on media, pages, and attachments

You can set maximum sizes for media, pages, and attachments in the wikis-config.xml properties file.

You may want to set maximum sizes on media, pages, and attachments to control the size of these individual objects within the larger library size setting. See the topic Setting maximum sizes on libraries for more information.

In Wikis, pages are a type of media, so the maximum setting for pages cannot be larger than the maximum setting for media. Attachments have no relationship to media or pages, and can be any maximum size, however if you let people attach very large files make sure that network and browser timeout settings allow users to download those large files.

  1. Start the wsadmin client.

  2. Access the Wikis configuration files...

  3. Network deployment:

    If you are asked to select a server, you can select any server.

  4. Check out the Wikis configuration files...

    WikisConfigService.checkOutConfig("<working_directory>", "cell_name")

    where:

    • <working_directory> is the temporary working directory to which the configuration XML and XSD files are copied. The files are kept in this working while you make changes to them.

    • cell_name is the name of the WebSphere Application Server cell hosting the Lotus Connections feature. This argument is required even in stand-alone deployments. If you do not know the cell name, do one of the following to determine it:

      • Stand-alone deployment: Look at the name after the following in the file system: 

          WAS_HOME\profiles\profile_name\config\cells\

    • Network deployment: Type the following command while in the wsadmin command processor: 

        print AdminControl.getCell()

    For example: 

      WikisConfigService.checkOutConfig("/opt/my_temp_dir", "CommServerNode01Cell")

  5. Optional: To view the current configuration settings use the following command: 

      WikisConfigService.showConfig()

  6. To set a maximum size (in kilobytes) for media, pages, and attachments, use the following commands: 

      WikisConfigService.updateConfig("file.media.maximumSizeInKb", "<number_of_kilobytes>")


      WikisConfigService.updateConfig("file.page.maximumSizeInKb", "<number_of_kilobytes>")


      WikisConfigService.updateConfig("file.attachment.maximumSizeInKb", "<number_of_kilobytes>")

    It is recommended that the attachment maximum size be below 2GB. Files larger than that are likely to reach browser or server limitations.

  7. Check in the changed configuration property file using the following wsadmin client command: 

      WikisConfigService.checkInConfig()

  8. To exit the wsadmin client, type exit at the prompt.

  9. Stop and restart the server hosting the Wikis feature.
