AS400 – ZIPPING
hi
i have a CSV file in my IFS folder.with size of 5GB.When iam zipping that file with Jar command.it is throwing me the error.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: Object is too large to process. /arcbi/pomalw_
php_22022011.csv
java/lang/Throwable.[Init](Ljava/lang/String;)V+4 (Throwable.java:90)
java/io/FileInputStream.[Init](Ljava/lang/String;)V+28 (FileInputStream
.java:64)
sun/tools/jar/Main.run([Ljava/lang/String;)Z+107 (Main.java:124)
sun/tools/jar/Main.main([Ljava/lang/String;)V+17 (Main.java:904).
I feel zipping is not happening because sie of file is more.when i have tried in another server it happened.
I have used this command
strqsh('jar cfM /ABC/file.zip /ABC/file.csv')
Please let me know how can i solve this issue.
Thanks[/init][/init]

can you split the folder before zipping it
I’m concerned that you’re trying to zip a single file that’s so large. Is someone expecting to unzip this file down the road? If so you’re going to run into resource issues on the other side as well.
Splitting maybe an option. Java is touchy about memory from my experiences, but I don’t have any first hand experience with this and couldn’t find any helpful tips from my resources.
Perhaps someone else will have more luck.
I just meant that because it was a CSV file, that he could split the data file, and zip each part. When unzipping, unzip each part, and then combine the pieces.
What is the target for the zipped file – some PC environment or same/another System i?
Other options may be available if your goal is to ‘compress’ the file.

My target folder is in the same IFS.
Please let me know,if there is any option of ziiping the csv which is present in iFS.

Are you using the Java jar command on the “other servers”? I have zipped files that big using WinZip and another PC utility I can’t remember the name of (something like ZipMagic) I have never actually tried jar on that big of a file.
split -h
split: 001-3019 usage: split [-b byte_count[k|m]] [-l line_count] [file ]
