DSEE 7 error code 12 - Sort Response Control for server side sort

Question

I am using Sun DSEE 7, My application works fine for small data set (e.g. 1000) and gives me correct sorted result, but same code fails for large data set (e.g. 656000). I find that for large data set, I am getting the error "*javax.naming.OperationNotSupportedException: [LDAP: error code 12 - Sort Response Control];*". I have changed the look-throught-limit, size-limit and time-limit values to unlimited using dsconf utility. I changed db cache size, entry cache size to appropriate values and also i increased all-id-threshold, all-ids-threshold-eq, all-ids-threshold-pres to the max possible value (2147483646) for one index attribute which i am using in my query but still exception is coming. If i change my client code (Java code using JNDI) to use Context.NONCRITICAL for SortControl, the sorted result is coming fine for small data set (access log shows query as indexed) but result is not sorted for large dataset and also i see the query is now unindexed. I am using only one attribute for sorting. Please help me out what configuration i am missing here.

Answer 1

Exactly. There is no reason to have the LDAP server sort the
results during the retrieval.
Query of Query can be used such as:
<cfldap name="ldapResults" .....> <!--- Do the LDAP
query first --->
<cfquery dbtype="query" name="sortedResults">
SELECT
FROM
ldapResults
ORDER BY
sprintcompany
,sprintpocrole
,sn
</cfquery>
Then, use the "sortedResults" query for the rest of your
processing.
