Max Rows in 11g Tables

Question

It seems no matter what I set as the max display rows for a table in 11g Analysis, it stops at 500 and makes the user select the arrow for a new page. I've checked the MBeans that control the setting in instanceconfig.xml and have found that the max is 65,000. The main issue is that if a user tries to export data from a dashboard it only exports 500 records. I've also checked the maximum in the RPD and it is set to 100,000. Has anyone else experienced this behavior? When exporting from a report, does it limit to 500 rows?
Thanks!

*19.3.1.2 Manually Configuring Settings for Data in Views*
You can configure a similar group of settings that affects the display of data in tables, pivot tables, and graphs. While the settings are mainly the same, you must include the element within each appropriate parent element to override the default setting that applies to that view. For example, the views all use the MaxVisiblePages element. You must include that element within each of the Table, Pivot, and Charts parent elements, to override the default value of that setting for each of those view types.
Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you are familiar with the information in Section 3.4, "Using a Text Editor to Update Oracle Business Intelligence Configuration Settings".
To manually edit the settings that change the display of data in views:
1.Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing, as described in Section 3.6, "Where are Configuration Files Located?"
2.Locate the Table, Pivot, and Charts parent sections, in which you must add the elements that are described in Table 19-1.
3.Include the elements and their ancestor elements as appropriate, as shown in the following example.
<ServerInstance>
<Views>
<Table>
<MaxVisiblePages>1000</MaxVisiblePages>
<MaxVisibleRows>500</MaxVisibleRows>
<MaxVisibleSections>25</MaxVisibleSections>
<DefaultRowsDisplayed>30</DefaultRowsDisplayed>
</Table>
<Pivot>
<MaxVisibleColumns>300</MaxVisibleColumns>
<MaxVisiblePages>1000</MaxVisiblePages>
<MaxVisibleRows>500</MaxVisibleRows>
<MaxVisibleSections>25</MaxVisibleSections>
<DefaultRowsDisplayed>30</DefaultRowsDisplayed>
</Pivot>
<Charts>
<MaxVisibleColumns>2000</MaxVisibleColumns>
<MaxVisiblePages>1000</MaxVisiblePages>
<MaxVisibleRows>2000</MaxVisibleRows>
<MaxVisibleSections>25</MaxVisibleSections>
<JavaHostReadLimitInKB>4096</JavaHostReadLimitInKB>
</Charts>
</Views>
</ServerInstance>
Note that this example does not include parameters that might exist in the file, but that are centrally managed by Fusion Middleware Control and cannot be changed manually.
4.Save your changes and close the file.
5.Restart Oracle Business Intelligence.
Table 19-1 describes the common elements that affect the display of data in views. If the user exceeds these values, then the Oracle BI Server returns an error message when the view is rendered.
Table 19-1 Common Elements for Manually Changing the Display of Data in Views
Element Description Default Value Applicable Views
DefaultRowsDisplayed
Specifies the default number of rows to display in the view.
30
Pivot Table, Table
MaxVisibleColumns
Specifies the maximum number of columns to be displayed in a view.
300
Graph, Pivot Table
MaxVisibleRows

For tables and pivot tables, specifies the number of rows that is displayed on the tooltip for the Display Maximum Rows per Page paging control button.

MaxVisiblePages
Specifies the maximum number of page choices (or pages in PDF) to be displayed in a view.
1000
Graph, Pivot Table, Table
MaxVisibleSections
Specifies the maximum number of sections to be displayed in a view.
This element does not apply when a slider is in place for a graph. The SectionSliderDefault and SectionSliderLimit elements apply to limit section values when a slider is in place. See Table 19-2.
25
Graph, Pivot Table, Table
JavaHostReadLimitInKB
Specifies the maximum amount of data that is sent to the browser for a single graph.
4096
