Overview

Overview

Each platform has limits for path and segment lengths. The truncation option determines how to handle paths and segments that exceed these limits. If disabled (the default option), an item with a path or segment length that exceeds the platform limits will not transfer and will be flagged for remediation. When enabled, DryvIQ will attempt to shorten the file name by removing the rightmost characters until the path meets the length requirements. This could mean truncating the file name down to the first character of the name and the extension. If the path is still too long, DryvIQ will flag the file for manual remediation.
