Updating alfresco share 1000 file limit

There is an update to this guide at
http://www.whiteboardcoder.com/2012/10/update-increase-alfresco-share-34d-1000.html

Using Alfresco share I recently hit a limit on how many files can be displayed in a folder, it is 1,000.  You can have 10,000 or more files in the folder but only 1,000 will be displayed. 

This is because of a query setting with alfresco and here is how to fix it.  I found this information at http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=22178 [1]

I edited the repository.properties at

> sudo pico tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/repository.properties

I updated

# # Properties to limit resources spent on individual searches # # The maximum time spent pruning results system.acl.maxPermissionCheckTimeMillis=10000 # The maximum number of results to perform permission checks against system.acl.maxPermissionChecks=1000

to

# # Properties to limit resources spent on individual searches # # The maximum time spent pruning results system.acl.maxPermissionCheckTimeMillis=50000 # The maximum number of results to perform permission checks against system.acl.maxPermissionChecks=5000

I just upped the limit to 5,000 and the upped the time limit to 50 seconds.

Then I restarted the alfresco webapp and now we can get more than 1,000 files shown in share J
