What exactly makes this message occur? How big does a file have to be before this occurs?

This message is displayed while APPX is building a requested dynamic index after indexing 1000 records. The administrator can adjust the record count by setting the environment variable APPX_DYNAKEY_PROMPT. For example:

        APPX_DYNAKEY_PROMPT=5000

Dynamic indexing (not just the prompt, but all of the capability) can be disabled altogether by setting the variable:

        APPX_DISABLE_DYNAKEYS=yes
