How many nested projects are possible in Empower 3? - WKB246758
Article number: 246758
ENVIRONMENT
- Empower 3
ANSWER
Empower does not have a hard limit on nested projects.
Empower (Oracle) has a 30-character project name limit (see WKB19581), and there is a 248-character Windows path limit when exporting projects from Empower. This includes the drive and export location chosen e.g. (c:\temp/project1/project2/.../projectn/) (see WKB342953)
- These are the enforceable constraints that, practically, will limit the number of sub-projects in a hierarchy.
- As a result, the practical hierarchy depth is governed by filesystem path limits during export operations, not by any stated maximum number of nested projects.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Example:
Export to c:\ = 3 characters
Therefore, 248 - 3 = 245 characters for project names, excluding the backup path and drive
Empower does not prevent the creation of a hierarchy with a path exceeding 248 characters; however, projects with paths exceeding 248 characters will be unable to export.
