Large storage space used by BinContent of t_document

[amacara1]

Hello,

I have an eapx file of 400MB and I've noticed BinContent field of t_document is having large size (>10MB) for a dozen of entries, all of type Package (that have many subpackages in Project Browser). How could I find out more about how this space is used, please?

Thank you!

Attachments are stored there. Pictures in Word documents tend to blow up space.

Will probably be either linked documents, or baselines.

Baselines most likely...

Right! Those packages have, indeed, baselines. Thank you!

When exporting a DB to eapx, is there a way NOT to export the baselines, but only the 'de facto' state?

Not if you use project transfer. You can transfer the contents of the model using xmi export/import, but that might take a very long time (if it even finishes at all) depending on the size of your model.

What you could do is delete the baselines in the .eap file, and then compact the file. That should shrink it.
