When using the file-based data transfer method within the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, there are specific size limitations for the data files. Each individual XML data file that is populated with migration data must not exceed a size of 100 MB. Multiple such files can be compressed into a single ZIP archive for upload. The total size of this compressed ZIP file must not exceed 160 MB. These two distinct limits ensure efficient processing and prevent system overloads during the data upload step.

B. 100 MB per ZIP file: This is incorrect. 100 MB is the maximum size for an individual data file, not the compressed ZIP archive which can be larger.

C. 160 MB per file: This is incorrect. 160 MB is the maximum size for the total ZIP archive, not for a single, uncompressed data file.
