attached file size via email

[latifa]

Hello Erman,

I looked for the limit size for an attached file size via email in Oracle EBS 12;2.4.
I found it in the profile option : 'Upload File Size Limit'
It is about 4194304 (KB) which is too much. I think it should be around 20MB !

How can we find the real value ? Is there any other place where it's set.

Thank in advance for your help.

Regards,

Hi Latifa,

The only E-Business Suite limit to the file size of an attachment is profile option 'Upload File Size Limit'
This is true for EBS R12 and 11i

Take a look at this note -> Security Configuration Mechanisms in the Attachments Feature in Oracle E-Business Suite (Doc ID 1357849.1)

However, there are some bugs as well..
for example -> BUG:27954154 - LIMITING ATTACHMENT SIZE

That is, the application and/or the functionality should also take this profile value into consideration while working with the attachments.

Do you have any problems with this? Can't you limit that?

Thank you Erman and may God preserve you from Corona.

Concern limit size, the customer said that they can't send attached files exceeding 20MB via emails.

4194304 KB makes 4 GB.. So this should not prevent them.

Did they check their mail server? A limition on the mail server may prevent it as well.

Also get and check the log of the mailing process on the EBS side..

I mean it can be custom program which gets error while attaching it, or if it relies on the workflow mailer, then check the wf mailer error logs for finding a clue.

Thanks for your good wishes Latifa . Same wishes..
I hope Corona passes as soon as possible and we return to the old days.

I will check what you said with customer.

However, what about this note "Is There A File Size Limit For EBS Attachments (Doc ID 739643.1) " which says that :

Different security measures have been implemented in 12.2 to prevent the uploading of large files.  These settings were put in place by design, within WebLogic.

Where can we do it in weblogic ?

[ErmanArslansOracleBlog]

Yes. I saw that too.
However , it is not clearly documented there.

Check the httpd.conf.
It may be there.

Something like;

<Location /test>

MaxPostSize 104857600

</Location>

Also check the managed servers;

The 'HTTP Maximum Message Size' attribute value..

In the WLS admin console - select the Domain name > Environment > Servers.
> Click on the Server name.
>Select Protocols > HTTP.
> Check 'HTTP Maximum Message Size' attribute value

[latifa]

the value of HTTP Maximum Message Size is -1 which means illimited.

[ErmanArslansOracleBlog]

Yes Latifa.
Check the other sides as I mentioned in my previous updates..
Mail server side especially.
