Map ID String Length Limit?

Any one know if there is a maximum length for valid map IDs
in WinHelp?
A few of my long IDs ( > 32 chars.) do not call help
topics from the application.
Everything else seem to be in order. Identically-formed IDs
in neighboring topics work properly.
Other ideas?

Hi, ^^&&^^,
According to Microsoft's Help Author's Guide:
quote:
* Topic IDs can contain spaces, but avoid leading and
trailing spaces.
* Do not use reserved characters (# = + @ * % !).
* Use no more than 255 characters.
* Do not begin a topic ID with a number if the ID will also
be used in the [MAP] section.
Can you reproduce the problem using the test
facilities in RoboHelp or Microsoft Help Workshop? That would help
to show whether the problem lies in your help file or in the calls
that the application is making to it.

ExternalInterface.call String parameter length limit???

Is there a String length limit to the amount of chars a
String can contain when passed as a parameter to
ExternalInterface.call()?
Also, are there any chars that ExternalInterface.call()
cannot serialize in a string?? Like \n, \t ...etc.
The livedocs don't answer these questions.

thanks for your reply but i just figured it out.
ExternalInterface.call("jsFunc", longString);
There is seems to be no char limit that i came across cause i
was able to shove 2K in there.
The problem is the newlines in the string, they must get
messed up during serialization. Just make sure you clean the string
of newlines like so:
longString = longString.split("\r").join("
").split("\n").join(" ");
ExternalInterface.call("jsFunc", longString);
works fine......

Limit string-length in Reporting Data Source

Hello,
we want to report some attributes to the BI. For this we use the standard reporting activity in the BPM. After we done a lot of configuration on the CE and the BI we achieved to connect the two systems. All attributes are passed correctly to the BI and now we have a problem with the string-length we pass to the BI. The string-length they get from the CE is 512 but the BI can only handle strings with a 60-length. Is it possible to limit the length of a string in the BPM or the CE?
Manuel

Hello Jun,
I have created reporting data source in my BPM where my parameter defined is of type "STRING'.
This data source is accessed by BW system for reporting purpose where they get an error as below -
"STRING/XTRING types used Not supported by currently selected access method UDCGEN; cannot use this method"
Looks like BW does not support string type, how can we make this datatype compatible?
Please share if you have any idea.
Thanks,
Priya

Limit String Length

Tried searching first... But couldn't seem to find answer...
I need to limit a string length...
So perhaps the initial string is: "New York is North of
Miami"
Which is 26 characters...
And I want to limit the returned result to 15 characters to
get "New York is Nor"
How would I do this...
I can count len etc but haven't figured out this one...
Thanx...

Not sure is this what u r looking for. You can use Left
function
Left(string, count)
ex.
<cfset sTest = "New York is North of Miami">
<cfset sTest2 = Left(#sTest1#,15)
now sTest = "New York is Nor"

oms_error Message:[oms] empty or null xml map request string.

I'm using mapviewer. I create a stored procedure in oracle that uses the utl_http package to make the map request. The omserver response with an error but when i make a map request via internet explorer the server response its ok and show me the correspondent map. This is my pl/sql code it fails in this line:
UTL_HTTP.SET_HEADER(l_http_req, 'Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
     UTL_HTTP.SET_HEADER(l_http_req, 'Content-Lenght', LENGTH(map_request));
     UTL_HTTP.SET_HEADER(l_http_req, 'Host', 'cobogis09');
     UTL_HTTP.SET_HEADER(l_http_req, 'Port', '8888');
As you can see it tells to me that the map request string is empty but im sending the map request in the next way:
     UTL_HTTP.WRITE_TEXT(l_http_req, '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><map_request datasource="stream" srid="8307" basemap="" width="960" height="768" antialiasing="false" format="GIF_URL" title="Demonstration"></map_request>');
     l_http_resp := utl_http.get_response(l_http_req);
     utl_http.read_text(l_http_resp, l_value);
     response := sys.XMLTYPE.createxml(l_value);
     utl_http.end_response(l_http_resp);
     img_url := response.EXTRACT('/map_response/map_image/map_content/@url').getstringval();
img_url := response.EXTRACT('/map_response/map_image/map_content/@url').getstringval();
obviously because the server response its not ok
the server response is (i get this message in my l_value variable):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><oms_error>Message:[oms] empty or null xml map request string.

What i want to know its why the server says that the map request string is empty. As you can see the map request is not empty, but when i send to the server something happens that sends this map request string empty to the server.

As you can see the arrive empty to the server, what can be wrong

Hi,
in this map request, it looks that the basemap string is empty.
UTL_HTTP.WRITE_TEXT(l_http_req, '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><map_request datasource="stream" srid="8307" basemap="" width="960" height="768" antialiasing="false" format="GIF_URL" title="Demonstration"></map_request>');

Restrict the input string length

Hi, how do I restrict the input string length in a JTextField. Suppose if I want my text field to accept only 4 characters, the fifth character I try to enter shouldn't be accepted in the field.
Thanks,
Kalyan.

This is for 6 characters limit
//create a JTextField that is six characters long
JTextField textField = new JTextField(new FixedNumericDocument(5,true),"", 6);
Here boolean true means only numeric. set to false to take in alphanumeric.
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class FixedNumericDocument extends PlainDocument {
private int maxLength = 9999;
private boolean numericOnly;
public FixedNumericDocument(int maxLength, boolean numericOnly) {
super();
this.maxLength = maxLength;
this.numericOnly = numericOnly;
//this is where we'll control all input to our document.
//If the text that is being entered passes our criteria, then we'll just call
//super.insertString(...)
public void insertString(int offset, String str, AttributeSet attr) throws BadLocationException {
if (getLength() + str.length() > maxLength) {
return;
else {
try {
if (numericOnly) {
Integer.parseInt(str);
//if we get here then str contains only numbers
//so that it can be inserted
super.insertString(offset, str, attr);
catch(NumberFormatException exp) {
return;
return;

Questions on: 1) Last Update; 2) Max String Length; 3) dynamic table keys

Hi:
- I am currently prototyping a plug-in but I have some questions:
- 1) At the 'All Metrics' table, what is the intent of the 'Last Upload' field,
and how is this field updated?
- I have created some metrics but for some metrics the 'Last Upload' field
has a timestamp but for other metrics there is no data.
As far as I know, the metrics are similar but I do not know why the behaviour is different.
- 2) Is there a maximum string length that the Oracle agent can accept?
- I have a script which just returns all the environment variables into one cell.
In emagent.trc, the Oracle agent issues the following warning:
2009-08-27 12:38:47 Thread-76336 WARN upload: Truncating value of "STRING_VALUE" from "AGENT_HOME=
- Is the truncation an issue?
- 3) I have created some dynamic tables from performing an snmp walk, but the key that I use
is the index of the SNMP table. The data is collected correctly, but I am not sure that using
the table index as the key for OEM is a good idea because the metrics are stored according to the SNMP table index.
Should the OEM key be the something like 'object name' instead of the index number from performing an SNMP walk ?
For example, when I click a metric, the metric name is: Sensor Index 1.
But should it not be something like 'Fan #1' ?
Thanks John

Metrics are collected at certain intervals, the Last Upload field indicates the date and time of the last time a metric collection was uploaded. The quicker the interval, the more recent that date should be. If you don't specify a CollectionItem in your default collection file for your metrics, they won't be collected or uploaded.
If your metric column is a STRING type, it is stored in a VARCHAR2(4000)
I'm not sure I understand your last problem... You have a table metric with a set of columns. The column you use as the key is just some tracking index which doesn't really mean anything. As long as your key column(s) make the row unique, the agent will be satisfied. If you want something more meaningful as your key, then it's something you will have to inject into your dataset if it isn't already there.

Finding the key according to string length in java.util.Properties

Finding the key according to string length in java.util.Properties.
I know only String length only.

i need to retrieve the values from the java.util.properties.
we know that we need to give the key value in order to retrieve the datas.
but my problem is i will give the length of the key instead of giving the key value but i need to retrieve the datas according to the length of the key.

10g - report object - filename property length limit

I am posting this in the hopes that I can stop someone from beating their head against their desk for a couple of days like I did.
In 10g forms (9.0.4.2.0), for a report object, there seems to be a limit to the length of the filename property - 79 characters. When it hits 80 characters, at runtime I get a "FRM-92101: There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup. This could happen due to invalid configuration"... error. Clicking the details button will show expanded info indicating a java exception "oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Forms session <x> aborted: unable to communicate with runtime process".
It would be nice if help for the filename property could include the length limit.
Gary

Thanks for your attention.
Gary
P.S. Thanks also for your write-up and javabean code on your blog regarding how to open a report in a new window with titlebar, etc disabled. Works like a charm.

While trying to invoke the method java.lang.String.length() of an object loaded from local variable 'payload'

Hi,
Our PI is getting data from WebSphere MQ and pushing to SAP. So our sender CC is JMS and receiver is Proxy. Our PI version is 7.31.
Our connectivity between the MQ is success but getting the following error while trying to read the payload.
Text: TxManagerFilter received an error:

Hi Amarnath,
Where exactly you are getting this error?
If you are getting at JMS Sender communication channel, try to stop and start the JMS communication channel and see the status, also use XPI Inspector to get the exact error log.
for reference follow below blogs:

Approval task SP09: Evaluation of approvalid failed with Exception: while trying to invoke the method java.lang.String.length() of an object loaded from local variable 'aValue'

Hi everyone,
I just installed SP09 and i was testing the solution. And I found a problem with the approvals tasks.
I configured a simple ROLE approval task for validate add event. And when the runtime executes the task, the dispatcher log shows a error:
ERROR: Evaluation of approvalid failed with Exception: while trying to invoke the method java.lang.String.length() of an object loaded from local variable 'aValue'
And the notifications configured on approval task does not start either.
The approval goes to the ToDO tab of the approver, but when approved, also the ROLE stays in "Pending" State.
I downgraded the Runtime components to SP08 to test, and the approvals tasks works correctly.
Has anyone passed trough this situation in SP09?
I think there is an issue with the runtime components delivered with this initial package of SP09.
Suggestions?

Hi Kelvin,2016081
The issue is caused by a program error in the Dispatcher component. A fix will be provided in Identity Management SP9 Patch 2 for the Runtime component. I expect the patch will be delivered within a week or two.
For more info about the issue and the patch please refer to SAPNote 2016081.
@Michael Penn - I might be able to assist if you provide the ticket number
Cheers,

Using "string-length" in STANDARD receiver determ xpath rule in PI 7.11

Hi
I have a situation, where I need to call one system, if the businesspartner value is 6 characters long and call an other system, if the length is different from 6 characters.
I am trying to use the standard receiver determination by entering this rule, but it does not work:
(string-length(/p1:ValidateUserRequest/Businesspartner)) = 6 -> system1
(string-length(/p1:ValidateUserRequest/Businesspartner)) not= 6 -> system2
Is there no way of sprucing up the standard xpath expression in the way I try?
What alternatives do I have?
Mikael

Hi,
Please try giving the XPath expression as given below:
/p1:ValidateUserRequest [string-length(Businesspartner) = 6] system1
/p1:ValidateUserRequest [string-length(Businesspartner) != 6] system 2
Please use square brackets before "string" and after "6"...its not getting displayed in my reply...:-(

How to increase the string length of an uploaded file

Hi,
i use a abap webser where i've uploaded some JAR files into the mime repository.
Unfortunately the string length is limited by 40 characters and so longer file names are cut.
How can I increase the default string length? Does somebody know a workaround?
Thanks.
Edited by: Martin Gardyan on Oct 22, 2008 9:48 AM

what i guess copying those jars should not create this problem.U just try in db using
"ALTER TABLE <table_name> MODIFY <column_name> VARCHAR2(<new, larger length>)"
may be it works.

Anu

String length limitation on setString() in prepared statement

Is any body aware of the length of string that can be passed to setString() method of prepared statement. I am getting an error "Data size bigger than max size for this type" if the string length is more than 2000 chars. I am using jdk 1.2.2 for running the application.
Thanks in advance.

Please use the following method. It worked for me.
PreparedStatement pstmt = ......;
String str = .....;
