 Save a AO workbook to BI Platform

By default, the maximum number of bytes per upload file for the Web Server is 10485760 ( 10 MB ). If the workbook contains large images, or saved with a large data set, the file size of the workbook can potentially be larger than 10 MB, and therefore fails to save on the SAP BI Server, because of the default post size limit defined on the Web Server.

By default, the Web Application Server for SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is Tomcat.
In order to be able to save larger workbooks to the SAP BI Server, increase the limit on Tomcat for the option maximumUploadFileSize, by following the steps below:

1. On the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform 4.x server, navigate to following folder:
   C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterpise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\classes
2. Open in a Text Editor the following file: dsws.properties
   ( You may want to make a backup copy of the file: dsws.properties, before making any changes. )
3. Search for the option: maximumUploadFileSize
4. Change the value from 10485760 to the desired maximum size. For example,
   maximumUploadFileSize = 20485760
5. Save the dsws.properties file.
6. Redeploy the dswsbobje web application using wdeploy. Eg:
   wdeploy <webappserver> -DAPP=dswsbobje deploy

NOTE : it is important to determine which exact URL is used for BI Platform login in AFO, so that the changes are done in a correct webapp server.
