How to move DAM assets with more than 150 references?

[markj1644785]

We are trying to restructure our DAM by moving assets to different folders.  We are doing this through the TouchUI and notice that we can do about 1 or 2 without a problem but as soon as we choose about 3 or 4 assets we get the message that we are moving assets with more than 150 references and then the files never move.  We have let it sit for over 30 minutes and it never seems to complete.  I did some searching and found this article (http://www.tothenew.com/blog/important-things-to-consider-for-migration-from-any-cms-to-aem-using-pa...)  that mentions modifying the reference limit but I am not sure it this would help.  Has anyone else run into this issue or have a solution that would allow us to move a folder of assets without running into issues?

Quote from the blog article

In Classic UI mode, this Move/Rename feature updates a max of 150 references by default and if more references are found, it will just move/rename the page without updating any references. Whereas in Touch UI, although it doesn’t show the references above 150, it still updates all of them.
This default value can be updated by

1. Overlaying /libs/cq/ui/widgets/source/widgets/wcm/HeavyMoveDialog.js and changing the value of maxRefNo in Classic UI mode.
2. Changing the value of maxreferences property in /libs/wcm/core/content/sites/movepagewizard/jcr:content/body/content/items/referencesStep/items/references

Hi Mark,

Are you still facing the issue after configuring maxref?

In this situation, following things can be done.

• Move small small folders to new location in the DAM. So that referecnes will be updated correctly.
• i would prefer to write simple validation scripts which will tell us whether references are fine or not.
