Package Guidelines and Size Limits
Before uploading packges to Edge Manager, ensure they are packaged correctly and do not exceed the recommended size limits.
The following table shows the guidelines for package size limits when uploading packages to the Edge Manager Repository.
| Package Type | Size Limit | File Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Configuration | 500 MB | ZIP | As best practice, once configuration files are uncompressed on the device, each file should be no larger than 5 MB. Actual limits depend on how much disk space is available at the time. |
| Application | 500 MB | ZIP | |
| Container | 500 MB | gzip | |
| Edge app | 500 MB | tar.gz | |
| Analytics runtime engine | 500 MB | tar.gz | Package and upload the runtime engine as a multi-container (Predix Edge) app. |
| Templates | 500 MB | ZIP | When you upload a template, you do not specify a platform, however, you must specify a package handler, which should be the analytics engine name, for example, FogHorn or CSense. The handler is not the app instance ID. |
| Data Maps | 500 MB | ZIP | When you upload a data map, you must specify the name of the template to which the data map is associated. You do not specify a platform. |
| Operating system | 15 GB | n/a |
