Set the maximum size limit for data extracted using Extract Server

Summary

The maximum size of a zip file created by the Extract Server can be limited by setting a SIZELIMIT parameter in the Extract Server configuration file (aimses.cfg).

Procedure

1. Open the aimses.cfg file in a text editor.
   
   On Windows, this file is located in the folder <ArcIMS Installation Directory>\Server\Etc
   
   On UNIX and LINUX, this file is located in the directory <ArcIMS Installation Directory>/Etc/
   
   
2. Add the following lines before the line </SERVERCOMPONENT>:
   
   

   Code:
   <PARAMETERS>
     <PARAMETER name="sizelimit" value="1024" />
   </PARAMETERS>

   
   The value of the PARAMETER sizelimit defines the maximum size of the extract zip file in Kilobytes (KB). The size limit will apply to all GET_EXTRACT requests made to the services using this Spatial Server.
   
   If multiple Spatial Servers are being used, repeat Steps 1 & 2 for each physical Spatial Server.
3. Stop and Start the ArcIMS Monitor service.
   
   Summary:
   There is a specific sequence to follow when stopping and restarting the ArcIMS services (Windows) or processes (UNIX).
   
   Procedure:
   
   
   

   Stop them in the following order:
   A) ArcIMS Tasker
   B) ArcIMS Monitor
   C) ArcIMS Application Server
   
   Start them in the opposite order you stopped them:
   A) ArcIMS Application Server
   B) ArcIMS Monitor
   C) ArcIMS Tasker
