Expansion of an Ova Archive

Code Insight supports the upload of a codebase in an .ova archive and the expansion of its .vmdk archives (usually found at the first level in the .ova file) and the .img archives (usually found in the .vmdk file). Other archives, such .iso files, might be part of codebase upload; and these too are expanded, as long as their expansion is supported by Code Insight (see Expandable Archives). As with all uploads, the expansion level of .ova archive is based on the Archive Expansion Options configuration for the upload.

If the .vmdk archive contains a large of amount of data, the upload might experience a disk space issue. In this case, the .vmdk archive is retained but not expanded, despite the level of expansion configured for the upload.
