Error while Saving document library as a list template

Question

I have a document library with item count above 6510 which exceed the list threshold. I have the doc lib to be saved a list template, WITHOUT content included. i tried it from library settings but it kept on loading and didnt execute.

Than i tried a powershell script and even it kept on executing, when i checked the server resource , powershell wasnt taking any resoruce. Is there any best way to execute it or my script needs to be fine tuned?

 $site = get-spweb("mysiteurl") 
$list = $site.Lists["List_Name"] 
$list.SaveAsTemplate(“Incidents Forms Template”,”Inc Template”,”Template for arched data”,0)

Answer 1

I too faced the same problem, List template was not being saved then I realized that default maximum size for document in document library is 50MB by default (as List Template Gallery is document library). So I updated maximum document size from Central Admin - Manager Web Application - General Setting.

after that list template saving worked successfully.
