Full Export but huge data size

[TanmeyTWX]

Hi,

I'm trying to have a full export to ThingworxStorage as backup for version upgrade.Once I click to start exporting, it gets started but no ending and no export database completion logs.

So I tried again and waited for long and finally got export database completed message in logs after an hour almost but with a size of GB's.And I'm not sure it's impacting my application too in terms of speed.

Please provide resolution for normal export completion time and size.

TIA!

What of your data takes the most disk space ?

And how much RAM does the server have ?

Last time I exported,it was in MB's but now it's coming in GB's.

And RAM is 32 GB on the machine.

.json file (data) is huge even after enabling PurgeScheduler

There are some questions:

- Is tomcat allowed to use all of the machine RAM ? The config of "setenv" file could be changed.

- What part of ThingWorx takes the most of exporting size ? ValueStream, Stream ? Maybe not all of data are really useful.

- Type of exporting file: binary (default of new ThingWorx platform), xml, json ? Binary would reduce file size.

-No,only 6g to Tomcat out of 32g RAM.

-Yes it's Stream

-Type of export file is json.
