Size limitations when saving objects

 

Size limitations when saving objects explains limits for save operations.

When you perform a save operation, the system creates a list of the objects and their descriptions that it saves. The system saves this list with the objects for use when the system displays the save media or restores the objects. The list is an internal object that is not accessible to user programs. It does not appear in the count of saved objects. The system limits a single list of saved objects to approximately 111 000 related objects. Because the system creates multiple lists for each library that you save, the limits are rarely exceeded.

You cannot save more than 349 000 objects from a single library. Because you normally store DLOs in libraries, this limit applies to the QDOC library in the system ASP and the QDOCnnnn libraries in user ASPs. The following table shows the limits that apply to save and restore operations.

If your save operation fails because you exceed any of these limits, you need to save objects using separate save commands instead of saving them with a single command.

See Save and restore limits for more information.
