Setting a size limit for data import into a data set

When you import data into a data set, the maximum size of the import package is 100 MB by default. You can decrease this value to 1 MB or increase it up to 2047 MB.

1. Modify the size limit for data import in one of the following ways:
   • To modify the prconfig.xml file, go to step 2.
   • To Create an instance of the dynamic system setting rule that overrides the size limit in the prconfig.xml file, go to step 3.
2. Ask a system administrator to change the following setting in the prconfig.xml file:
   <env name="Initialization/MaximumFileUploadSizeMB" value="100" />, where value is the maximum size of the import package. The available range is from 1 to 2047.
3. Create an instance of the dynamic system setting rule that overrides the size limit in the prconfig.xml file by performing the following actions:
   1. In Dev Studio, click Create > SysAdmin > Dynamic System Settings.
   2. Enter a short description. For example, MaxImportSizeDataSet.
   3. In the Owning Ruleset field, enter Pega-Engine.
   4. In the Setting Purpose field, enter prconfig/Initialization/MaximumFileUploadSizeMB/default.
   5. Click Create and open.
   6. In the Value field, enter the maximum size of the package that can be imported. The available range is from 1 to 2047.
   7. Click Save.
