Symptom
- The SAP system only allows downloading 1000 attachments at a time.
- For downloading more attachments, manual selection is required which is impractical due to the volume.
- How to increase this limit of download of attachment from more than 1000 files?
Environment
SAP Cloud for Customer
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Library work center
- Go to Attachments view
- Go to Advance Search
- Filter attachments by date
- Select and download more than 1000 attachments
Issue: System does not allow more than 1000 attachments. Request to increase the limit to more than 1000 attachments at a time.
Cause
The limit for downloading attachments is only 1000 at a time, this is due to performance reasons. Downloading more than this may cause the download to fail.
Resolution
- Use tighter search criteria to reduce the number of files.
- Download the files in smaller batches to avoid any performance glitch.
