Marketo Bulk Import File Size limit

[ryan-church]

I know that there is a 10 MB file limit in the bulk import API, 

but is it 10,000,000 Bytes, or 10,495,760 Bytes?

Good question, is it Mebibytes or Megabytes? You’d need to test. I’ve always assumed it was actually Mebibytes, but once I get past 9.5 Whatevabytes I split.

OK.  I did test, I assume it is 10,000,000 because the smaller i trimmed the file, it worked.

[SanfordWhiteman]

So do you know the exact size at which it worked? 🙂

@SanfordWhiteman ,

I'm with you.  I never let files get close to boundaries like that.  Just one less thing to worry about 🙂

Cheers

Yeah, I mean the reality is if an app can get things just below the limit, it can get them just above the limit, so you have to build the splitting feature.

I might ignore the size/splitting if the people consuming the app had the honest intent to stay under 10MB and would accept the consequences (i.e. Marketo failing) if they did.
