I need to generate a metadata report that includes 69,000 folders. If I try to select all the folders my web access crashes. Is there another way for me to generate that report?

Hi Bill,
We tried to reproduce this on our end and were able to successfully create a report for 60k folders showing data from 3 fields and 7 system properties, with no crashing or other issues. How many fields are you reporting on?
It might be worth asking your solution provider to create a support case so we can look into the crash in more detail.
Hi Bill,
Can you share a bit more information about your use case?
In our main repository folder I have 69,000 folders in which I need a report on a select number of metadata fields. The folder list is too large to select all and generate a report.
Out of curiosity, what types of documents are they? What information in the metadata are you reporting on, and why?
There are various different type of documents contained within (pdf, Tiff, Word, Excel, .msg etc), but I am only interested in the metadata stored on these folders. I need the information for data comparison.
I can think of a couple of ways to do this, and somebody else might come up with something as well.
First, you can run your search in Workflow and have it extract the metadata you need. You can then insert it into a temporary database table.
Second, you can run the report directly against the repository database.
