Length of the User Data attributes

Question

Hello All,
anyone knows where can i get the max length of the user data, that can be saved in UME (for both standard and customized data)?
Cause in some cases a i get the message that some attributes cannot be longer that 20 characters and i would like to change it
Thanks for help!

Hi Karol,
> the lenght of the attributes is hardcoded
Right: This is done within the method <i>getFieldMaxLength</i> within class <i>com.sap.security.core.admin.UserBean</i> within C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\portal\portalapps\com.sap.portal.usermanagement.admin\lib\umeuseradminbase.jar:
/*1155*/        if (fieldName.equals("firstname"))
/*1156*/            return 30;
/*1157*/        if (fieldName.equals("lastname"))
/*1158*/            return 50;
/*1159*/        if (fieldName.equals("salutation"))
/*1160*/            return 30;
/*1161*/        if (fieldName.equals("title"))
/*1162*/            return 30;
/*1163*/        if (fieldName.equals("preferredlanguage"))
/*1164*/            return 30;
/*1165*/        if (fieldName.equals("timezone"))
/*1166*/            return 30;
/*1167*/        if (fieldName.equals("currency"))
/*1168*/            return 20;
/*1169*/        if (fieldName.equals("email"))
/*1170*/            return 70;
/*1171*/        if (fieldName.equals("telephone"))
/*1172*/            return 40;
/*1173*/        if (fieldName.equals("fax"))
/*1174*/            return 40;
/*1175*/        if (fieldName.equals("mobile"))
/*1176*/            return 40;
/*1177*/        if (fieldName.equals("zip"))
/*1178*/            return 15;
/*1179*/        if (fieldName.equals("city"))
/*1180*/            return 30;
/*1181*/        if (fieldName.equals("state"))
/*1182*/            return 20;
/*1183*/        if (fieldName.equals("country"))
/*1184*/            return 30;
/*1185*/        if (fieldName.equals("streetaddress"))
/*1186*/            return 60;
/*1187*/        if (fieldName.equals("jobtitle"))
/*1188*/            return 20;
/*1189*/        return !fieldName.equals("department") ? -1 : 50;
So you could modify the implementation.
Hope it helps
