Files That Exceed Product Limits

When a file exceeds one or more of LiveRamp's recommended file limits, a yellow caution icon is displayed next to the file name on the Files page. To display the specific issue, either hover over the icon or open the details panel by clicking on that file's row.

To minimize delays and ensure maximum performance, keep within these limits.

The possible messages that might be displayed for files that exceed product limits include the following:

  • This file does not have a at least 25 rows: Each file should have a minimum of 25 rows. Consider adding more rows to this file and uploading again. LiveRamp will process a file with fewer than 25 rows, but will not deliver a distributed segment that has fewer than 25 members.

  • This file has more than 500,000,000 rows: This file exceeds the recommend row count of 500,000,000 for Activation workflow files. Consider splitting the file into smaller files.

  • This file has more than 400,000,000 rows: This file exceeds the recommend row count of 400,000,000 for Measurement Enablement workflow files. Consider splitting the file into smaller files.

  • This file has more than 500 segment data fields: This file has more than the recommended 500 segment data fields. Consider splitting the file up so that each file has fewer segment data fields.

  • This file is larger than 50GB.: This file is larger than the maximum recommended file size of 50GB. Consider splitting the file into smaller files.

Data you use to group your records based on certain attributes (such as “Gender=Female” or “Income=25,000-49,999”) so you can distribute those records to one of LiveRamp’s partners, typically for targeting, measurement, or personalization.
