Figured out the error myself. Initially I thought the error is related to volume of data. I was wrong. The error is related to metadata associated with files. The files had metadata and it was huge is size (text). I don't know whether it was caused by special characters or limits on characters, but when we removed that field from files, transfers happened without any issues.

Check the metadata associated on the files and it should be easy to figure out.

Do you have a repeatable test case? If so please raise an issue in JIRA so it can be investigated. Thanks

Hi,

I am dealing with the same dataset as the OP, and have discovered what is the initial (not root) cause:

We are using a script to load PDF files, along with associated metadata stored in our application's MySQL database, into Alfresco. After some investigation, I narrowed it down to a single row in our app db. One of our entities had a metadata field that contains the 'synchronous idle' character.

I was able to recreate the exception consistently with this character in the text.

Well done in finding that.

Could you please make sure that the issue is raised in JIRA so something can be done to fix it. Thanks.
