Question
What are the limitations of Use?
Answer
The SML service provided by the eDelivery building block is provided to assist projects in their early stages (piloting and early, non-critical production) and not to support long-term operations or provide mission-critical infrastructure.
As such, the European Commission cannot be held liable for any negative impact the service unavailability, deterioration or malfunction may cause to the SML Domain Owner or to other participants in the domain. The service is provided on a best effort basis, with support available only during Commission business hours (please consult the document eDelivery SML Service level arrangement for details).
The SML (sub)domain is allowed to contain a maximum of one hundred thousand participants.
Once this limit is reached, addition of further participants will be disabled for all SMPs operating in the domain (or, alternatively, excess participants will be removed on a regular basis). A domain requiring more than one hundred thousand participants will have to relocate to a different service or a self hosted SML instance.
