Your attempt to copy or clone a large project might fail with an error.

CWLLG1274E: An exception occurred. com.ibm.bpm.pal.PALException: RepositoryServicesCore.cloneProcessApp.fail: 
Number of Objects to copy 1200 is larger than max-cached-objects-during-refactoring 256

To fix or avoid this error, increase the value of the max-cached-objects-during-refactoring setting.

Element	Default setting	Description
`max-cached-objects-during-refactoring`	`256`	This setting limits the number of objects that can be involved in a copy operation. For example, if you have a snapshot with 1200 objects, this setting must be set to more than this number of objects to successfully create a project based on a copy of that snapshot or version.

You can use the following XML snippet to change the property in the 100Custom.xml file:


<server>
     <repository>
          <max-cached-objects-during-refactoring merge="replace">256</max-cached-objects-during-refactoring>
     </repository>
</server>
