Attachment/Document thresholds
|
|
| Tom Cole 2006-01-29, 9:09 pm |
| I am working on a MCMS custom intranet portal for a middle-market company's
HR department. The portal is a typical "company intranet".
As a development team, we have heated debate over the use of allowing
Attachments (and/or the resource gallery) to allow HR to upload Word
documents and PDFs to MCMS. From a purist standpoint, we'd love to avoid
allowing this, because we know MCMS is not a document-management solution.
However, doing a file-share and making them "manually link" documents creates
plenty of training issues, and the functionality we see with MCMS is so
ideal...from an ease-of-use perspective.
We need to know thresholds for risk to performance. We look to be starting
at around 280 Word documents, many of which are 1-2 page forms, with a couple
of exceptions. To give you an idea of our MCMS database size, BEFORE
attachments...we have a backup file ".bak" that is 35MB.
Anyone have guidance on where we get into trouble? Is there a Microsoft
stance on this matter? Stefan?

| Hi Tom,
if you configure the disk cache to ensure that all attachments can be hold
there then you should not expect performance problems with small files.
You should ensure that only small files are attached.
Cheers,
Stefan
