preview_history_limit - Maximum Value

Ugan

I wanted to know what is the maximum value for preview_history_limit in iw config (by default it is 1). I have got a requirement to retain the zz... Manifest files and have it linked to some app server to show it for TS Unauthenticated Users.

I tried with 10 and it worked fine, Now I am putting it 50 , do i see any impacts on putting so much value... any thoughts ??

First of all - trying to put a dependency on an internalized implementation is a bad idea - if you want the manifest information you should capture it somewhere yourself in order to preserve / present it for non-TS users.

Secondly, increasing the count simply means you're increasing the "clutter" in the workarea - it shouldn't be a major issue - but it is "clutter". I don't believe a "max" value for that clutter has ever been documented, and probably not determined either - but my guess would be something like MAXINT - though again, I wouldn't recommend it.
