Handling of Large CMP Archive Files

The Packager cannot create CMP archive files (files.cmp and ufiles.cmp) greater than TWO Gbytes and is handled by the CMP Editor. The Packager creates multiple CMP archive files of limited size.

The Packager starts to create a new CMP archive file when the predefined file size or number of files is reached. The maximum archive file size is1 GB and can hold maximum of 5000 archive files.

You can set other maximum values in the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ComputerAssociates\SxpPackager\Automatic

Create or change the values for the entries CmpArchiveMaxSize and CmpArchiveMaxFiles (of type REG_DWORD).

CmpArchiveMaxSize

Indicates the maximum size in bytes when the Packager creates a new CMP archive file

CmpArchiveMaxFiles

Indicates the maximum number of files when the Packager creates a new CMP archive file.

The file names of the CMP files created by the Packager are enhanced with a sequence number, for example, files1.cmp, files2.cmp, and so on. These file names are added to the CmpArchives section of the files.sxp or ufiles.sxp, respectively.
