Symptoms

In WebCenter Spaces, files uploaded to Universal Content Management (UCM) larger then 2Mb fail.

Note:

There has been customers finding themselves in a position where it would appear that the default limitation (2Mb) is actually smaller. For those cases, this same note and solution did solve their issue.

There can be seen an error after clicking the 'Upload' button within the WebCenter Spaces UI:

Warning: The file upload failed.
The file could not be uploaded because it is too large.
--------------------------------------------------------
Enter the file name and location. Files must be less than 2GB

Note:

The error message is incorrect as it always says the file must be less than 2GB regardless of the real file upload size. Do remember that this is not a WebCenter Content (former UCM) restriction, eg, it is a recommendation from the WebCenter Spaces product side. Ideally this value should be keep to a somewhat small value (a few MBs). The error message should take the value of max file size upload, which was set from webcenter-config.xml.

This is related to the following bug:
<Bug 11809419> - INCORRECT POPUP MESSAGE ON FILE UPLOAD FOR WEBCENTER SPACES

The bug is fixed in WebCenter PS5 (11.1.1.6.0).
