Troubleshooting: Catalog Upload file size limit

By default, the maximum file size of your load file or compressed file is 10 MB. You can change the maximum file size.

Feature Pack 6 or laterYou can upload files in CSV or XML format. If you are loading a compressed file, the files within the compressed file must be in CSV or XML format. Previously, you could load only CSV formatted load files.

To change the maximum file size:

  1. Open WebSphere Commerce Developer and switch to the Enterprise Explorer view.
  2. Update the file that contains your catalog import primary object definitions:WebSphere Commerce Version 7.0.0.0Feature Pack 1
    1. In the Enterprise Explorer view, expand LOBTools > WebContent > WEB-INF > src > lzx > commerce > catalog > objectDefinitions.
    2. Open the CatalogImportPrimaryObjectDefinition.lzx file, and locate the class name catCatalogImportPrimaryObjectDefinition.
    3. Update the value of the maximumFileSize attribute. The default value is 10000000 bytes. You can change this value as needed, however, keep in mind the impact that larger files might have on your server.
      <class name="catCatalogImportPrimaryObjectDefinition" extends="wcfPrimaryObjectDefinition"
        objectType="CatalogImport"
        creatable="true"
        displayName="${catalogResources.catalogImport_displayName.string}"
        displayNameProperty="fileName"
        idProperty="catalogImportId"
        newDisplayName="${catalogResources.catalogImport_newDisplayName.string}"
        copyProtected="true"
