    Stream.Write - CFileException::m_lOsError = 0x0x80030111 - The
    compound file is too large for the current implementation)
    while archiving attachment Id(10697339) of message Id(5336250)."

Problem summary

  • PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    While archiving MBX, EDI or EXT data, if the archive file
    reaches the 2GB file size limit, it will still keep on trying
    to archive more data until it eventually aborts.  The errors in
    the audit log do not indicate that the 2GB limit was reached.
    
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Any user trying to archive data that results in an archive file
    larger than 2GB.
    

Problem conclusion

  • FIX DESCRIPTION:  Code now checks the exception thrown to see if
     the error is the 2GB limit error.  If so, it will write the
    following
    audit messages and abort the archive.
    
    For MBX archives:
    
    7-1-30: "Encountered exception (ArchiveAttachmentFile -
    Stream.Write - CFileException::m_lOsError = 0x0x80030111 - The
    compound file is
    too large for the current implementation) while archiving
    attachment Id(10697339) of message Id(5336250)."
    
    For EXT and EDI archives (the wording will vary depending on
    what type of archive it is):
    
    7-1-57: CExtDataArchiver::ArchiveFile encountered a
    CFileException (cause:generic, error:m_lOsError = 0x0x80030111 -
     The compound file is too
    large for the current implementation) while attempting to
    archive file (C:\Gensrvnt\ExternalData\#2014\05\19\15\170.EXT).
    
    The second audit for all archive types will be:
    
    7-1-120: "Archive file has reached the 2GB file size limit."
