# Increasing artifact upload size limit

If you have upgraded to Package Security Manager (On-prem) `6.6.2` or later and require support for artifacts that exceed 3GB in size, you must update Package Security Manager to accept them.

## How do I know if I need to increase my upload size limit?

There is a test you can perform to determine whether or not you need to increase your artifact upload size limit:

1. Open a terminal and connect to your instance of Package Security Manager.
2. Enter the docker container and count the number of rows in the `routes` and `blobs` tables by running the following command:

   ```sh theme={null}
   sudo docker exec -it postgres psql -U postgres
   select count(*) from routes;select count(*) from blobs;
   \q
   ```

   If the count for either value exceeds 2,000,000, you must increase your artifact upload size limit manually.

## Increasing the size limit

To increase the package upload size limit:

1. Enter your Package Security Manager installer directory by running the following command:

   ```sh theme={null}
   # Replace <INSTALLER> with your Package Security Manager installer directory
   cd <INSTALLER>
   ```

2. Run the following command:

   ```sh theme={null}
   sudo docker compose exec repo_api /bin/repo update-blob-sizes-to-big-int
   ```
