Is there limit for tags?

alex_almeida

Hello all,

Nowadays, we are storing documents on Alfresco, and an external service uses the APIs to upload documents. The external service has projects that should be related to some documents, these relation is made by tags.

For example, the project named 001, must be related to document A, so the document will have the tag 'project-001', but there's a new project,  002 that should be related to the same document A, so document A will have another tag 'project-002' and so on.

However, it's easy to notice that the tags only will increase, it's already working like this, but my concern is, is there a limit for tags, or some performance issues?

Thanks.

As per my knowledge, there is no limit of creation of tags. but the performance of your Alfresco instances can be affected if you have excessively large number of tags. However, the maximum number of tags displayed will be 1000. To increase the value, update the prop “solr.query.maximumResultsFromUnlimitedQuery” in alfresco-global.properties.

Note, this is a system-wide settings and will therefore increase the maximum results for all queries and *could* affect performance.
