Max files per vault

[gkemner]

What is the recommended and practical maximum number of files to have in
each file vault? We are on Windows 32bit server and client machines.

Intralink (Windchill) 9.0 M030

There is no limit to files in a single vault. Typically, you want to limit
the number of files in a single folder to around 100,000. The theoretical
limit for any OS is very high, but from a practical standpoint, you want to
limit it so if you browse to the folder to list its contents, it doesn't
consume your server's processor. On Windows, set the disable8dot3 and
disablelastaccess both to 1 (for true or disabled) using the fsutil command,
and you won't have any performance issues writing to the folders until
around 2,000,000 files.

fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 1
fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 1

I believe the default is 7000 but I set ours to 10000.

I forgot to tell you how to set this. Use the following site.xconf properties.

<property name="wt.fv.useFvFileThreshold" overridable="true"&lt;br"/> targetFile="codebase/wt.properties"
value="true"/>
<property name="wt.fv.fvFileThreshold" overridable="true"&lt;br"/> targetFile="codebase/wt.properties"
value="10000"/>
