# Import Fails - Make Data Stores

Reduce the Make data store size or set a module Limit so value stream import can complete in the target tenant.

When you import a value stream, Make scenarios are created in the target tenant. If a scenario includes a Make data store, Make can create a new data store there. A data store that is too large for the target tenant can cause the import to fail.

This applies to Make data stores used in scenarios, not to the VSM [Datastore](/vsm-guides/value-stream-designer/datastore.md).

## Reduce the data store size

To unblock an import that already failed, reduce the size of the data store in Make, then import the value stream again.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open Data stores in Make

Go to Make and open the **Data stores** tab.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Reduce the data store size

Open the data store used by the scenario and set a smaller size, for example 2 MB. Then save the change.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Retry the import

Import the value stream again. See [Import and Export](/vsm-guides/value-streams/import-export.md).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Set a Limit in the scenario

To keep newly created data stores smaller on future imports, update the Make scenario before you export the value stream.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open the Data store module

Open the Make scenario and select the Data store module that defines the data store.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Enable Advanced settings

Turn on **Advanced settings** at the bottom of the module.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Set a smaller Limit

Set **Limit** to a small value, for example `2`. Then select **Save**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If both **Limit** and **Mappable Limit** are filled in, Make uses the **Mappable Limit** value. Leave **Mappable Limit** empty to use the **Limit** you set.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developer.emporix.io/vsm-guides/troubleshooting/faq/import-fails-make-data-stores.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
