Restrictions and limitations

For the supported DocuShare Server versions, consult the Technical Specification.
For correct working of the component, it is not recommended to change the specific sets of properties for document types on the DocuShare Flex server while the documents are being uploaded on the server.
When several (5-10 or more) concurrent processes with the component are working, some of the processes may send files to DocuShare Flex with a considerable time delay.
For correct working of the component, the user on whose behalf the component runs, should have Manager permission defined in the ACL which belongs to the corresponding document or folder. Otherwise an exception is thrown runtime.
The component joins any image files to a TIFF output file, and any image files to a PDF output file. The result in case of other file types (txt, odg, docx, etc.) is not guaranteed.
It is explicitly banned to merge PDF and TIFF files. If you want to do so, then it is recommended to convert the added file to the corresponding format before insertion using an OP Converter component.
File uploads are broken after exactly 6 minutes with message 'The connection was closed.' This is caused by DocuShare Flex architecture and firewall. Six minutes is enough for most cases. For example, a 268 MB file was uploaded in 5 minutes, 20 seconds on a network with 12-13 Mb/s upload speed.
Special fields of type integer can have the values 0..100. This limitation comes from DocuShare Flex.
Special fields of type decimal can have the values 0.01 .. 9999.99 with exactly 2 fractional digits. This limitation comes from DocuShare Flex.
Defining special document types with special fields can cause unexpected results. If you experience it, you can contact DocuShare Flex Support.
