KM ICE Export for large repository.

Former Member

Hi,

I am trying to export a BW report repository from KM via ICE to import into a migrated server.

The ICE Export works fine with a small test repository - but then i tried it on a large one (30000 folders, ~1GB in size) and the process falls over.

I get to the stage of downloading the file but it seems that some error has occurred and the zip file is truncateed, so i can't import it.

Does anyone know of ways to tune KM , Portal or OS settings (memory allocation, disk settings, etc) so i can do my export this way, or is it just not pheasible to use ICE to export a large repository?

regards

rob

Hi Robert

I dont know if this setting is only relevant for Online Content Exchange, but you could try it to make it higher:

Hi Robert,

there is a size limitation for ICE packages of 2GB as you can read here:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e2/61701deb253242bea2ebeafa190e83/frameset.htm

For large ICE packages, less than 2GB I would suggest to proceed in the following way:

1. Copy the file "Complete Package" to /etc/ice using the KM copy function in the menu context of the resource

2. Watch the below file to grow in the filesystem

"/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/config/cm/etc/ice/fullupdate.zip"

3. Even if the UI shows "Page cannot be displayed" after a timeout, the export will then still proceed in background

You can than do the import in a similar way:

1. Copy the file to the target system at

"/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/config/cm/etc/ice/fullupdate.zip"

2. Copy the KM resource /etc/ice/fullupdate.zip (actually the file in the filesystem you just copied in step 1. to /ice/subscriber/Update using again KM copy function

3. Again, you may get the "Page cannot be displayed" error but the import should however proceed in background

Hope this helps,

Robert

Hi , these just seem to go over the process as it should work, the problem I am having is that the content export doesn't complete and the export file is truncated. Because the content is large. None of the links seem to mention this.
