In some cases you may run into situations with documents larger than 5mb that need to be uploaded through GlobalSearch Web. In these cases you may receive an error stating “upload failed”
The upload limit is controlled by the Square9Api web.config file existing in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Square9API . By Default this web.config does not come with a value controlling this limit so one must be added. Your limit must be specified in KB. You can use the converter HERE to specify how many kilobytes you will need to designate a filesize.
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="10000" maxRequestLength="429496295" />
Please ensure that the above line is added to the webconfig in the system.web section, this should be near the top of the config. The end result should look like this.
<system.web><compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0"></compilation><pages controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="4.0"></pages><authorization><allow users="*"></allow></authorization><httpRuntime executionTimeout="10000" maxRequestLength="429496295" /></system.web>
