Problem:

Unknown file mapping error or file is too large

Resolution:

Information in this Brief applies to:

• StarTeam 5.x, 6.0
• Windows 2000, NT, XP, 2003

Problem

User gets the following error when trying to add large binary files in StarTeam.

Exception handled at CStServer::DoCommand: Class =
FileMappingException, Code = 65537(0x00010001),
Msg = Open File: unknown file mapping error or file is too large
[ComponentID] = 28
[Client IP Address] = 141.39.8.72:3049
[User Name] = Test User
[ClassID] = 28
[CommandID] = 2004
[ServiceID] = 524288

StarTeam is unable to determine that the file that is being added is a binary file. It is thus trying to add the file using delta storage which causes the above problem.

Workaround

A new "BinaryFileExt" field is added in the starteam-server-configs.xml file in StarTeam server 5.4 patch #3. Files with extensions matching the list will be added as binary. i.e. Please contact tech support for download information on this patch. StarTeam 6.0 Server already has this option added.
