2674474 - File Sync client icon grayed out/ shows sync error - SAP Jam

Symptom

  • SAP Jam file sync client icon grayed out.
  • Client shows sync error "File or directory name exceeds file system limits".

Environment

SAP Jam

Cause

The issue is due to excessively long Jam group and/or folder names which causes the directory path length to exceed the Windows limitation of 260 characters. As a result, the File sync client fails to sync such groups/folders in the local directory.

Resolution

Solution is to shorten the Group and/or Folder names so as to bring the path length within windows limits.
