System hangs on uploading document
SA-75756
Summary
System hangs on uploading a document, of size more than the limit, using a Drag drop file control.
Error Messages
Not Applicable
Steps to Reproduce
- Create the Menu button and invoke the Pega out-of-the-box fileupload control
- Drag and drop a file of size 36 MB on to the modal window. Busy indicator displays and the system hangs
Root Cause
This behavior is as per the Pega product design.
Resolution
Here’s the explanation for the reported behavior:
Maximum size of a document that can be uploaded using Drag and drop feature is 10 MB. The Drag and drop feature internally makes an AJAX call. Hence, on uploading large files, either the performance of the system degrades or the machine is unstabilized.
