Branch target offset too large for short

Error :
I am getting the error "Branch target offset too large for
short" in coldfusion.
What we are trying to do?
We are concatenating large numbers of text. We where building
a lengthly string. We ended up using mutliple variables and
appending them together at the end to get it to work.
Appending the lengthy string and writing into a file.
Just to breif you this is a survey questions and answers we
are generating text file with tab seperated as delimeters.
e.g.
The string I am using is

Branch target offset too large for short - using CFThread

I am just starting to get into using CFThread. I have a process I am working on to allow clients to order background reports on multiple applicants simultaneously. I am doing this using CFThread. Through some trial and error I discovered that I needed to var scope the variables that are used in the CFC's that do the bulk of the report processing. As soon as I did that I started getting the error " Branch target offset too large for short". Everything I have read on this error basically says I have too much code in the CFC which doesn't make sense as I am using this CFC in several other places in the site without error. The problem only occured after var scoping my variables in the CFC and them sticking that CFC inside a CFTHread tag.
Has only one seen anything like this before?
Thanks

Haven't seen it, no.
Can you revert to your un-VARed code, and then re-VAR the variables one by one, retesting between each, and see if a specific one gives you the error?
I don't know what this might tell you, but it might help focus where to look.
NB: you should be VARing your variables within functions as a matter of course, not simply in situations in which the code is being called via <cfthread>.

Offset too large for short?

HI I have a large function that works just fine until I added
this large spanning cfif statement to essentially break out of my
function if a condition didn't exist. After I added it I got the
error:
Branch Target offset too large for short
Also this function doesn't contain any cftransaction tags. Is
there anyway to increase memory or something to get rid of
this.

Backup too large for volume

I have 2 macbook pro's (120GB & 160GB) backing up to a 500GB TM.
both were backing up just fine, however in the past month the 160GB
macbook pro keeps getting this message.....
"backup too large for volume?"
and subsequently the backup fails?
the size of the backup is less than the free space on the TM drive...
any help?

dave,
*_Incremental Backups Seem Too Large!_*
Open the Time Machine Prefs on the Mac in question. How much space does it report you have "Available"? When a backup is initiated how much space does it report you need?
Now, consider the following, it might give you some ideas:
Time Machine performs backups at the file level. If a single bit in a large file is changed, the WHOLE file is backed up again. This is a problem for programs that save data to monolithic virtual disk files that are modified frequently. These include Parallels, VMware Fusion, Aperture vaults, or the databases that Entourage and Thunderbird create. These should be excluded from backup using the Time Machine Preference Exclusion list. You will, however, need to backup these files manually to another external disk.
One poster observed regarding Photoshop: “If you find yourself working with large files, you may discover that TM is suddenly backing up your scratch disk's temp files. This is useless, find out how to exclude these (I'm not actually sure here). Alternatively, turn off TM whilst you work in Photoshop.” [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1209412]
If you do a lot of movie editing, unless these files are excluded, expect Time Machine to treat revised versions of a single movie as entirely new files.
If you frequently download software or video files that you only expect to keep for a short time, consider excluding the folder these are stored in from Time Machine backups.
If you have recently created a new disk image or burned a DVD, Time Machine will target these files for backup unless they are deleted or excluded from backup.
*Events-Based Backups*
Time Machine does not compare file for file to see if changes have been made. If it had to rescan every file on your drive before each backup, it would not be able to perform backups as often as it does. Rather, it looks for EVENTS (fseventsd) that take place involving your files and folders. Moving/copying/deleting/saving files and folders creates events that Time Machine looks for. [http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/14]
Installing new software, upgrading existing software, or updating Mac OS X system software can create major changes in the structure of your directories. Every one of these changes is recorded by the OS as an event. Time Machine will backup every file that has an event associated with it since the installation.
Files or folders that are simply moved or renamed are counted as NEW files or folders. If you rename any file or folder, Time Machine will back up the ENTIRE file or folder again no matter how big or small it is.
George Schreyer describes this behavior: “If you should want to do some massive rearrangement of your disk, Time Machine will interpret the rearranged files as new files and back them up again in their new locations. Just renaming a folder will cause this to happen. This is OK if you've got lots of room on your backup disk. Eventually, Time Machine will thin those backups and the space consumed will be recovered. However, if you really want recover the space in the backup volume immediately, you can. To do this, bring a Finder window to the front and then click the Time Machine icon on the dock. This will activate the Time Machine user interface. Navigate back in time to where the old stuff exists and select it. Then pull down the "action" menu (the gear thing) and select "delete all backups" and the older stuff vanishes.” (http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/backups.html)
*TechTool Pro Directory Protection*
This disk utility feature creates backup copies of your system directories. Obviously these directories are changing all the time. So, depending on how it is configured, these backup files will be changing as well which is interpreted by Time Machine as new data to backup. Excluding the folder these backups are stored in will eliminate this effect.
*Backups WAY Too Large*
If an initial full backup or subsequent incremental backup is tens or hundreds of Gigs larger than expected, check to see that all unwanted external hard disks are still excluded from Time Machine backups.
This includes the Time Machine backup drive ITSELF. Normally, Time Machine is set to exclude itself by default. But on rare occasions it can forget. When your backup begins, Time Machine mounts the backup on your desktop. (For Time Capsule users it appears as a white drive icon labeled something like “Backup of (your computer)”.) If, while it is mounted, it does not show up in the Time Machine Prefs “Do not back up” list, then Time Machine will attempt to back ITSELF up. If it is not listed while the drive is mounted, then you need to add it to the list.
*FileVault / Boot Camp / iDisk Syncing*
Note: Leopard has changed the way it deals with FileVault disk images, so it is not necessary to exclude your Home folder if you have FileVault activated. Additionally, Time Machine ignores Boot Camp partitions as the manner in which they are formatted is incompatible. Finally, if you have your iDisk Synced to your desktop, it is not necessary to exclude the disk image file it creates as that has been changed to a sparsebundle as well in Leopard.
If none of the above seem to apply to your case, then you may need to attempt to compress the disk image in question. We'll consider that if the above fails to explain your circumstance.
Cheers!

Cannot decrypt RSA encrypted text : due to : input too large for RSA cipher

Hi,
I am in a fix trying to decrypt this RSA encrypted String ... plzz help
I have the encrypted text as a String.
This is what I do to decrypt it using the Private key
- Determine the block size of the Cipher object
- Get the array of bytes from the String
- Find out how many block sized partitions I have in the array
- Encrypt the exact block sized partitions using update() method
- Ok, now its easy to find out how many bytes remain (using % operator)
- If the remaining bytes is 0 then simply call the 'doFinal()'
i.e. the one which returns an array of bytes and takes no args
- If the remaining bytes is not zero then call the
'doFinal(byte [] input, int offset, in inputLen)' method for the
bytes which actually remained
However, this doesnt work. This is making me go really crazy.
Can anyone point out whats wrong ? Plzz
Here is the (childish) code
Cipher rsaDecipher = null;
//The initialization stuff for rsaDecipher
//The rsaDecipher Cipher is using 256 bit keys
//I havent specified anything regarding padding
//And, I am using BouncyCastle
String encryptedString;
// read in the string from the network
// this string is encrypted using an RSA public key generated earlier
// I have to decrypt this string using the corresponding Private key
byte [] input = encryptedString.getBytes();
int blockSize = rsaDecipher.getBlockSize();
int outputSize = rsaDecipher.getOutputSize(blockSize);
byte [] output = new byte[outputSize];
int numBlockSizedPartitions = input.length / blockSize;
int numRemainingBytes = input.length % blockSize;
boolean hasRemainingBytes = false;
if (numRemainingBytes > 0)
hasRemainingBytes = true;
int offset = 0;
int inputLen = blockSize;
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < numBlockSizedPartitions; i++) {
output = rsaDecipher.update(input, offset, blockSize);
offset += blockSize;
buf.append(new String(output));
if (hasRemainingBytes) {
//This is excatly where I get the "input too large for RSA cipher"
//Which is suffixed with ArrayIndexOutofBounds
output = rsaDecipher.doFinal(input,offset,numRemainingBytes);
} else {
output = rsaDecipher.doFinal();
buf.append(new String(output));
//After having reached till here, will it be wrong if I assumed that I
//have the properly decrypted string ???

Hi,
I am in a fix trying to decrypt this RSA encrypted
String ... plzz helpYou're already broken at this point.
Repeat after me: ciphertext CANNOT be safely represented as a String. Strings have internal structure - if you hand ciphertext to the new String(byte[]) constructor, it will eat your ciphertext and leave you with garbage. Said garbage will fail to decrypt in a variety of puzzling fashions.
If you want to transmit ciphertext as a String, you need to use something like Base64 to encode the raw bytes. Then, on the receiving side, you must Base64-DEcode back into bytes, and then decrypt the resulting byte[].
Second - using RSA as a general-purpose cipher is a bad idea. Don't do that. It's slow (on the order of 100x slower than the slowest symmetric cipher). It has a HUGE block size (governed by the keysize). And it's subject to attack if used as a stream-cipher (IIRC - I can no longer find the reference for that, so take it with a grain of salt...) Standard practice is to use RSA only to encrypt a generated key for some symmetric algorithm (like, say, AES), and use that key as a session-key.
At any rate - the code you posted is broken before you get to this line:byte [] input = encryptedString.getBytes();Go back to the encrypting and and make it stop treating your ciphertext as a String.

SQL Error: ORA-12899: value too large for column

Hi,
I'm trying to understand the above error. It occurs when we are migrating data from one oracle database to another:
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-12899: value too large for column "USER_XYZ"."TAB_XYZ"."COL_XYZ" (actual: 10, maximum: 8)
12899. 00000 - "value too large for column %s (actual: %s, maximum: %s)"
*Cause:    An attempt was made to insert or update a column with a value
which is too wide for the width of the destination column.
The name of the column is given, along with the actual width
of the value, and the maximum allowed width of the column.
Note that widths are reported in characters if character length
semantics are in effect for the column, otherwise widths are
reported in bytes.
*Action:   Examine the SQL statement for correctness. Check source
and destination column data types.
Either make the destination column wider, or use a subset
of the source column (i.e. use substring).
The source database runs - Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
The target database runs - Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
The source and target table are identical and the column definitions are exactly the same. The column we get the error on is of CHAR(8). To migrate the data we use either a dblink or oracle datapump, both result in the same error. The data in the column is a fixed length string of 8 characters.
To resolve the error the column "COL_XYZ" gets widened by:
alter table TAB_XYZ modify (COL_XYZ varchar2(10));
-alter table TAB_XYZ succeeded.
We now move the data from the source into the target table without problem and then run:
select max(length(COL_XYZ)) from TAB_XYZ;
-8
So the maximal string length for this column is 8 characters. To reduce the column width back to its original 8, we then run:
alter table TAB_XYZ modify (COL_XYZ varchar2(8));
-Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01441: cannot decrease column length because some value is too big
01441. 00000 - "cannot decrease column length because some value is too big"
*Cause:
*Action:
So we leave the column width at 10, but the curious thing is - once we have the data in the target table, we can then truncate the same table at source (ie. get rid of all the data) and move the data back in the original table (with COL_XYZ set at CHAR(8)) - without any issue.
My guess the error has something to do with the storage on the target database, but I would like to understand why. If anybody has an idea or suggestion what to look for - much appreciated.
Cheers.

Use SQL Reference for datatype specification, length function, etc.

Time Machine Error - The backup is too large for the backup disk

I have been using Lion (currently 10.7.1) on my MacBook Pro (13" - early 2011) since it was released. I haven't had any serious problems with it.
All of a sudden, I am getting an error in Time Machine. When it tries to run a backup, the error "This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 7.51 GB but only 630.1 GB are available." What gives? That's plenty of room. I have installed Logic Studio and a few plug-ins, so the 7.51 GB is probably right. The free space is correct as well. I can't understand what the problem is.
The backup disk is an external USB 2.0 drive with no other Time Machine backups on it or any other files. The folder "Backups.backupdb" is the only thing on the root of the disk.
I am reluctant to reset the Time Machine and lose all of the backups, but I will if anyone recommends it.

Hi Linc,
It is not working at the moment, as I have restored the original Lion image again; it has all my work and apps on it.
Many thanks for the info on the log, though. It tells a strange story. Here's the log from the last backup that worked to the first one that failed: --

I don't understand. For starters, I think it's a little wasteful that 3.5 GB has been used to back up 601 KB. That's the difference in free space on the backup volume between the two backups. That can't be normal, surely.
The only error is that mds[32] error, and from what I've read on forums, that seems to appear on backups that work perfectly.
Too weird. It looks like I'll have to reinstall Lion and all my applications again to get Time Machine working, or find another backup solution.

Why is Encore 5.1 AUTO mode building files just a bit too large for DVDs?

I've been doing the same videos for a few years using Encore 1.5 and more recently Encore 5.1 (with Premiere 5.5). The videos are typically football games with short 2-25 secs of motion menus. If I put two games per DVD, the total running time has been up to 2 hours total per game. I've made dozens of these with Premier writing AVI files (standard 720x480 vide) and writing in Encore 1.5 using auto settings. With Premiere CS4 I started using the dynamic link to Encore CS4 and still ran beautiful DVDs on auto transcoding.
Now, when using the same standard video files in Premiers 5.5, and using dynamic link to Encore 5.1, on auto transcode settings, the image files or transcode files (depending on how I order the build) keep coming out 150 - 300 MBs too large for the DVDs (typically Tayo-Yuden or Verbatim burning to Plextor/Pioneer drives). (Windows-7-X64 Intel D975XBX2 MB.)
To see if I was going nuts, I recently saved a job as two AVI files (same length as the sequences sent through dynamic link to Encore CS5.1) and did the same DVD setup in Encore CS4 but importing the AVI files as timelines. The chapter points didn't convert for Encore CS4 so I had to install manually. The end result, though, was a DVD image that worked fine.
So I then went to the Encore CS5 build window and set the DVD size to manual, dropping down from 4.7GBs to 4.25. The result fit, but then left too much free space (though the vids still looked OK).
I know by other discussions that others are having issues with Encore CS5.1 - or maybe it is related to Premiere 5.5 sequences. Recently burned a set with 22 secs motion menu and 1.4 hours of video and had no problems on auto. This leads me to believe either that Encore is underestimating the transcode sizes or there is a problem with writing DVDs at or near two hours in length.
Anybody have answers, suggestions?
Thanks,
Doug A

Thanks, Giorgio.
I do you imgburn quite a bit and even the new version 2.5.6.0 which allows for truncating and overburning wouldn't write to either the Plextor burners or the Pioneer 205 (Blu-Ray in DVD mode).
I just ran another image build setting the disc size (for the burn) at 4.5GBs rather than the automatic 4.7GBs. This helped and gave me a final image size of 4.33GBs - still not large enough to maximize the disc and the compressed code for better quality, but in this case, a tradeoff for just getting the job done.
I hope Adobe updates a fix for this problem, if indeed, it turns out to be a bug. Also, while I'm on the the bandwagon, the motion previews in Encore 5.1 do seem to preview in very low res. I'll need to check to see if there is a setting for this, but I've not experienced it before 5.1.

Doug A

Yes it's probably due to different char sets
A way around it it to change the DB setup on the new database to use CHAR as default for varchar2 rows, and then use datapump to do your import/export, because datapump uses the default varchar2 type when creating tables that includes varchar2 (which is normally byte). Exp/imp uses the varchar2 type that is in the original database

Oracle : ORA-12899: value too large for column

Hi Experts,
I am loading multibyte data from fixed width flat file to Oracle database(which is a utf8 characterset) via Informatica. I have set utf8 as characterset in both source and target definitions.
Source flat file data : MÃ¼nchener(this flat file data was loaded from external oracle database where data looks like Münchener)
When I load the data I am getting below error
ORA-12899: value too large for column "schema_name"."table"."column" (actual: 513, maximum: 512)
I know we can declare the data type as varchar2(512 char) instead of varchar2(512 byte). Please let me know the other solution to load multibyte data into target utf8 database.

You answered your own question and there isn't another solution. You need to increase that column.
alter table "schema_name"."table" ("column" varchar2(513)); ---Though you should increase it to be the max length that column will ever be. If you don't know pad it. Pad it high. Oracle is very good at handling the space with the varchar2 datatype.

ORA-12899: value too large for column

Hi Experts,
I am getting data from erp systems in the form of feeds,in particular one column length in feed is 3 only.
In target table also corresponded column also length is varchar2(3)
but when i am trying to load same into db ti showing error like:
ORA-12899: value too large for column
emp_name (actual: 4, maximum: 3)
i am using data base version :
Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
but this is resolved when the time of increasing target column length to varchar2(5) from varchar2(3)..but i checked length of that column in feed is 3 only...
my question is why we need to increase the target column length?
Thanks,
Surya

That can be caused if the two systems are using different character sets. If one is using a single-byte character set like ASCII and the other uses multi-byte like UTF16.
Three BYTES is three bytes but three CHAR is three bytes in ASCII but six bytes for UTF16.
Do you know what character sets are being used?

Length Semantics for Character Datatypes
Globalization support allows the use of various character sets for the character datatypes. Globalization support lets you process single-byte and multibyte character data and convert between character sets. Client sessions can use client character sets that are different from the database character set.
Consider the size of characters when you specify the column length for character datatypes. You must consider this issue when estimating space for tables with columns that contain character data.
The length semantics of character datatypes can be measured in bytes or characters.
•Byte semantics treat strings as a sequence of bytes. This is the default for character datatypes.
•Character semantics treat strings as a sequence of characters. A character is technically a codepoint of the database character set.
For single byte character sets, columns defined in character semantics are basically the same as those defined in byte semantics. Character semantics are useful for defining varying-width multibyte strings; it reduces the complexity when defining the actual length requirements for data storage. For example, in a Unicode database (UTF8), you must define a VARCHAR2 column that can store up to five Chinese characters together with five English characters. In byte semantics, this would require (5*3 bytes) + (1*5 bytes) = 20 bytes; in character semantics, the column would require 10 characters.
VARCHAR2(20 BYTE) and SUBSTRB(<string>, 1, 20) use byte semantics. VARCHAR2(10 CHAR) and SUBSTR(<string>, 1, 10) use character semantics.
The parameter NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS decides whether a new column of character datatype uses byte or character semantics. The default length semantic is byte. If all character datatype columns in a database use byte semantics (or all use character semantics) then users do not have to worry about which columns use which semantics. The BYTE and CHAR qualifiers shown earlier should be avoided when possible, because they lead to mixed-semantics databases. Instead, the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS initialization parameter should be set appropriately in the server parameter file (SPFILE) or initialization parameter file, and columns should use the default semantics.

Value too large for column in sqlscrips

Hi
i getting this error pls give any idea on this
DECLARE
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12899: value too large for column "CUSTOM"."CUAR_OPEN_ORDERS"."CUSTOMER_NAME" (actual: 43, maximum: 35)
ORA-06512: at line 423

HI
It is due to short length defined for a variable , but the passing values is higher in lenght.
Just increase the the length value in declare statement.
It is better always give possible maximum values while defining variable length

Error :Value Too large for DEF_VALUE of SNP_REV_COL

I am getting the following error while I am importing my work repository .
Error : Value Too large for DEF_VALUE of SNP_REV_COL
Can any one pls let me know the root cause of the issue.
I found the following work around to resolve the issue.
I am changing the 'DEF_VALUE' column length in both 'SNP_REV_COL' and 'SNP_COL' tables.
I am using the ODI 10.1.3.5 version.
alter table SNP_REV_COL modify DEF_VALUE VARCHAR2 (400);
alter table SNP_COL modify DEF_VALUE VARCHAR2(400);
I am able to import the work_rep with out any issues after changing the above columns.
I am looking for the reason why this issues is occurring.
Thanks,

Replicat error: ORA-12899: value too large for column ...

Hi,
In our system Source and Target are on the same physical server and in the same Oracle instance. Just different schemes.
Tables on the target were created as 'create table ... as select * from ... source_table', so they have a similar structure. Table names are also similar.
I started replicat, it worked fine for several hours, but when I inserted Chinese symbols into the source table I got an error:
WARNING OGG-00869 Oracle GoldenGate Delivery for Oracle, OGGEX1.prm: OCI Error ORA-12899: value too large for column "MY_TARGET_SCHEMA"."TABLE1"."*FIRSTNAME*" (actual: 93, maximum: 40) (status = 12899), SQL <INSERT INTO "MY_TARGET_SCHEMA"."TABLE1" ("USERID","USERNAME","FIRSTNAME","LASTNAME",....>.
FIRSTNAME is Varchar2(40 char) field.
I suppose the problem probably is our database is running with NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS='CHAR'
I've double checked tables structure on the target - it's identical with the source.
I also tried to manually insert this record into the target table using 'insert into ... select * from ... ' statement - it works. The problem seems to be in the replicat.
How to fix this error?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks in Advance!

Hi muthu,
// inserted value too large for column
When your oracle insertion throws this error, it implies that some value that you are trying to insert into the table is larger than the allocated size.
Just check the format of your table and the respective size of each field on your oracle cleint by using the command,
DESCRIBE <tablename> .
and then verify it with the input. I dont think the problem is with the DATE format because if it is not a valid date format, you would have got on error like
String Literal does not match type
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Bhavesh
