Binary Data Replication
Binary Data Replication
Binary data refers to the content of the Blob, Media, and MediaSet fields that store files such as images or other types of media. To make it possible to send these types of fields with MDMS, you have to create a separate data set and replication for it.
Note
The release of a replication that contains binary fields for receivers of versions lower than 5.5.0.0 causes an error.
Note
The release of a data set that contains binary fields and other non-primary key fields causes an error.
Constraints of Binary Data Replication
- To replicate binary data using MDMS, a separate data set and replication must be created. Additionally, the receiver must be of version 5.5.0.0 or higher.
- The maximum allowed content length in IIS defaults to 30 MB, which may cause an HTTP error 413 (Request Entity Too Large) or HTTP error 500 (The request's Content-Length - is larger than the request body size limit 67108864) when attempting to replicate binary data. In this case, it is advised to decrease the No. of Records per Synchronization Message value to reduce the size of individual messages.
- It is not advised to send large files using MDMS. Files over 15 MB may cause performance issues and be more susceptible to errors. Therefore, it is recommended to keep file sizes as small as possible.
