Issue on Dashboard 4.1 Export as .SWF file while retrieving more than 5000 rows.

Question

Hi Experts,
    We  have a BO Dashboard (version 4.1) that displays the treasury information on cash flows across various countries and regions.
     The dashboard is built on Universe and  has large number of components (like filter, aggregation, glow region) with some third party Centigon add on for Google Maps. - GMaps Plugin for SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards provides an interactive map design solution for enterprise dashboards components).
     When trying to add more source content to the existing dashboard (and exceeding more than 5000 rows ) and trying to export the dashboard as .SWF file , we are getting a run-time error as below.
     But when we minimize the number of rows manually in data mapping (<=4500 rows) we are able to export the .SWF file.
      Seriously couldn't arrive at any conclusion or it is a tool limitation.
     Please help us in this issue.
Regards,
Prasana Ravichandran

I partially agree with you, When I say condition I was talking about LOAD when clause in ACCESS PARAMETERS not where condition of select clause
When you use load condition with a byte range is checked before parsing the row , So to skip a row you can use something like this (seee example below)
CREATE TABLE ext_employees
(employee_id NUMBER(4),
first_name VARCHAR2(20),
last_name VARCHAR2(25),
job_id VARCHAR2(10),
manager_id NUMBER(4),
salary NUMBER(8,2),
commission_pct NUMBER(2,2),
department_id NUMBER(4),
email VARCHAR2(25)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY ext_dir1
ACCESS PARAMETERS
records delimited by newline
LOAD WHEN ( 1:5) != '*****'
badfile ext_bad_dir:'empxt%a_%p.bad'
logfile ext_log_dir:'empxt%a_%p.log'
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
( employee_id, first_name, last_name, job_id, manager_id,
salary, commission_pct, department_id, email
LOCATION ('empext.dat')
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
This may solve his problem
