5.14 Increasing the Upload Size Limit for Post-Migration Actions

PlateSpin Migrate enables you to create custom scripts for post-migration actions and upload them to the PlateSpin Library. You can then associate them with certain migration jobs you configure in the PlateSpin Migrate Client. See Section 6.5, Managing Post-Migration Actions (Windows and Linux).

By default, PlateSpin Migrate sets a 64 MB upload size limit for each individual post-migration action, including its dependencies.

You can increase the upload size limit by modifying the value for httpRuntime element’s attribute maxRequestLength in the web.config file in the ..\Program Files\PlateSpin Migrate Server\Web\ directory on the PlateSpin Server host.

IMPORTANT:Decreasing the maximum upload size limit below the default of 64 MB might have a negative impact on the stability of your PlateSpin Server.

To modify the upload size limit for Migrate Client post-migration actions:

  1. Close the PlateSpin Migrate Client.

  2. Log in as Administrator to the PlateSpin Migrate Server host.

  3. Browse to the ..\Program Files\PlateSpin Migrate Server\Web\ directory.

  4. In a text editor, open the web.config file.

  5. Locate the setting for the httpRuntime element with the maxRequestLength attribute:

    <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="65536" />

  6. Replace the existing maximum upload size value of 65536 with the required new value in kilobytes.

    For example, to increase the maximum size from 64 MB to 128 MB, replace 65536 with 131072.

    <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="131072" />

  7. Save the file, then restart the Migrate Client.
