Filenet GetContent webservice returns the file incomplete

Question

I am using Fil.net 5.2.1 soap webservice GetContent:

http://myserver:9080/wsi/FNCEWS40MTOM.wsdl

and when trying to get content for a file that is larger than 1 MB, the returned response when read as base64 is only for part of the file not the whole file. my request is as follows:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

Answer 1

The problem was in fil.net configuration:

Inline Content Retrieval Limit default is 1 MB so that fil.net webservice itself was returning 1 MB only of the file.

Increasing the value fixed the issue, but unfortunately the maximum is 10 MB.
