Folder for multiple application groups

[LWagner]

Are there some "be careful to"  items when creating a folder for multiple application groups ?

I have a few working.  But created another today, with just two AGs, and can only get data from one AG or the other, not both.  I suspect all field lengths must match, but I created a second one with only the three fields of the matching lengths, and the folder still only gave me one AG.

Hi,

do you have the Checkbox "Query Application Groups with unmapped fields" under Folder => Field Mapping checked?

I think this shows up documents from ag's without some fields.

For performance reasons, it's best to create Application Groups with multiple Applications, rather than binding a variety of AGs together at the folder level.  This is especially true if one or more of the AGs has tens of millions of rows.  If it makes sense, consider consolidating your AGs.

If a new consolidated AG doesn't work in your scenario, keep the number of mapped AGs to a minimum, and increase the number of rows per database table for large AGs (ie, more than 10 million documents per month).

Also, turning off 'Display Document Location' if it's enabled will help maintain performance.
