Number of Parallel Upload on DAM Coral UI

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

I have noticed when i upload an asset through coral UI only 6 assets get uploaded at a time and the moment one of six get completed upload for next starts. Can anyone please point me where this customization is done (file location)

So the choice are use the default Touch UI limit to upload assets or build you own solution using a custom sling servlet that uses AssetManager API - as discussed in the article that I referenced. Hope this helps.

Referring to the Touch UI:

I do not believe that this is a customizable setting-- according to the AEM docs:

http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/administer/content/assets.html

http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aod/overview/working-with-assets/uploading/uploading-assets.html

If you are concerned about only uploading 6 assets at a time - you can develop a custom DAM solution to upload multiple assets by using a custom AEM Sling Servlet and the AEM AssetManager API:

Thanks Sam for your blog ! I am able to create custom dam uploader with the help of your blog. Although what i noticed is when number of parallel upload is more (since user can select n number of file to upload at a time) then CPU usage of system spikes up and system starts behaving very slow.

While doing further investigation i found that out of box dam upload of AEM allows only 6 upload at a time, therefore i wanted to understand same codebase/logic which AEM is implemented. Any pointer would be greatly helpful !

Thanks in advance !

Please keep in mind,that this limit in number of concurrent uploads is limited by the browser and not AEM. The defaults that  I know are  Firefox-6, Ie6/7 - 2 , Ie8-6.

Thanks Sam for info !

I was expecting this (number of upload at a time) must be mentioned in some JS  (like damfileupload.js) and if anyone have tried to change this value.

I do have one more question. I noticed that in AEM doc which you have shared has a link which says "use FTP Upload" for file more than 200MB, but i couldn't find how to configure that :

FTP upload is only in Assets on Demand (the cloud based on Demand assets solution).
