Import large EPCs

If the maximum number of functions allowed per EPC is exceeded during the import of large EPCs an error message is displayed. However, the import is not aborted.

The threshold for the maximum number of functions allowed in an EPC is controlled by the configuration parameter KI_EPC_FUNCTION_COUNT_THRESHOLD defined in the file EpkImport_settings. The default value for this parameter is 500. It applies if the parameter is missing or has a value of <= 0. If the parameter falls back to the default value a corresponding warning is written to the log.

As soon as a large EPC exists in the database XML import, PPM import, and process import are blocked in DEFAULT mode. A corresponding error message is output and import is canceled. Process import in RECOVERIMPORT mode is not affected.

To resolve this issue you can set the configuration parameter to a sufficient value. However, this can lead to the system requiring increased main memory. Alternatively, you can delete the EPC that causes the problem (see following section).
