Maximum Number of fields

Hi,
Is there a limit to the number of fields that can be added to a form created in Lifecycle Designer?
A client is keen to "future proof" their forms, and I can't seem to find anything in the documentation that mentions any limits.
Regards,
Jon

Johnathan
As far as I'm aware; if you design a dynamic form and use the addInstance manager without placing a limit on the number of repetitions, then there should be no reason why you can't continue to extend the size of the form ad nauseum. The filesize might become rather unwieldy however.

FML Field Table - maximum number of fields?

Hello,
in our Tuxedo-environment we are using the "FML Field Table" (text file) to define fields and FLDIDs to access and manipulate fields in a fielded buffer.
My questions are:
o is there a maximum number of fields one can define in the field table?
o is it ok that this file grows very big if every application-relevant field is to be put into this table? (in our company we have services up to 80 fields...)
o is it better practice to define universal FML fields (such as CHAR_01, CHAR_02, NUMBER_01...) to avoid that every service-field has its own field-defínition?
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
1. FML/FML32 really have a maximum number.
# For FML: between 1 and 8191, inclusive
# For FML32: between 1 and 33,554,431, inclusive
But you should pay attention that some fields are reserved by Tuxedo, you can get the reference at http://edocs.bea.com/tuxedo/tux100/fml/fml04.html
2. It depends on how you use FML routines. Some routines, such as Fldid which map the name to the numeric identifier, sure it needs a little cpu cycle for the searching if you defined hundreds thousands of fields. But for most APIs, such as add/change/update/delete, the API only requires the numeric C macro definition, so there is no performance issue. A number of 80 fields is adequate absolutely. You should not worry about that in a very long future.
3. From my personal point of view, I think it is a good habit to define the fields universally in Tuxedo applications. You will feel more administration benefit if you want to extend Tuxedo to Java by JOLT, to web services by SALT etc.

Maximum Number of Fields Reached

I read on one of the forums that there is no hard number to maximum number of fields. However, I received this message: "You have reached the limit on the number of items allowed in a FormsCentral form. You may delete or modify existing items."
Why is this?
I have subscribed to Basic pack.
Thanks.

Thanks Josh,
Splitting forms does not help my cause. It is a governement form which requires a lot of information in it. If the information can not be filled in one form, I am affraid that this product is not suitable for our organisation. Is there a way that I can seek a refund?
Thanks.

Maximum number of field values for an Authorization object

Hello Experts,
What is the maximum number of field values can be put into the role, Is there any restriction for number of values in any authorization field?
I have put 326 values for field OBJTYPE in authorization object S_DEVELOP but not able to generate the role it is showing error.
I know I can split the values in two or more instance but wanted to know if there any other way out for this (without creating more instances)
Thanks
DK

If the values for OBJTYPE are not uniquely the same, then the system will not merge them - so nothing will be lost.
Here is another trick for you: Choose one of the transactions in the role (or create a "symbolic" one for it") where you want to have the OBJTYPE proposed automatically from. Now maintain one or two of them in SU24 and then download it to your PC. Now from the F4 value range of the OBJTYPE, add all of those values you want via copy&paste into the file and then upload into SU24 again. A read old / merge new in PFCG will then swing all the values in for you.
Single values are always better, as you do not know what else is hidden in the range or might be added in future. It is however common to see FROM / TO ranging around values such as DEBUG and FUGR although all aspects of S_DEVELOP are dangerous - even in display mode.
Cheers,
Julius

Hey Josh_Corey,
Is there any way to have more that 500?? Like by disabling something or asking a certain person at Adobe??

What is the maximum number of fields in oracle 9 ?

Hello,
My question might be very simple, but i tried to find the answer on the website of oracle and on this forum but with no success.
How many fields can i put in a single oracle file ? Can i compare the fields to a column in a spreadsheet ? If so, i want to know the maximum number of columns possible in an oracle database (if i take the exemple of microsoft access, i have a limitation of 255).
I thank you in advance for your answers.
Fred

One should really make the difference between db_name and instance_name: if instance_name default value is db_name it can be different
(even on a non RAC database).
For example with Oracle 10.2.0.4 you can create a database named DB78 with instance_name=DB12345678:
$ uname -a
Linux lx01.localdomain 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Fri May 23 22:17:30 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Maximum number of fields contained in 1 datasource

Hello guys,
Question,
How many fields can be contained in 1 generic datasource??
Is there a maximum to this??
We are connected with SAP BI 7.0 to an external oracle database and 1 view within this database contains 110 fields. The customer wants this complete view to be extracted into BI.
So for this purpose I have created a generic datasource based on this view.
Now, I seem to be able to map all the fields within the datasource but then when I do a preview or I export the output of the datasource to excel (to check if the data looks OK), then only 90 fields are exported/visible.
Hence the question..
Is there a limit to the number of fields contained in one datasource??
Many thanks for information
Regards
Willem

There is as such no limits on the no. of fields in the datasource. But when you see the output in SAP, there is a limitation on the width of the output .. I guess its 1024 chracter.
The output might not be able to accomodate all the fields and hence when you downloaded, only 90 fields got downloaded. You need to change the layout of the output to see all the fileds in SAP.
Thanks...

Maximum number of fields in material master

Hi,
Could you please help to understand how many fields can be added in material master Tab.
Example - If we create new material master tab as additional data and would like to add some fileds in that tab, is there a limit we can't add more than certain number of fields.
Please advise how many cloumns can be added as well in one tab.
Example
Material master additional data Tab (New)
feild 1 description field 4 description field 7 ......
field 2 description field 5 description field 8 ......
field3 description field6 description field 9 ........
I think the fields should be assigned to feild selection group which is reserved as for Z fields
Please confirm if my understanding correct for Z fileds
211-240 Reserved for customers
As I think only 20 field can be assigned to field selection group but My question is can we assign more than one filed selection group to one material master tab. I mean to increase the number of field to be added in new additional data tab can we add 111-120 Reserved for customers and 211-240 Reserved for customers to one material master additional data tab.
Thanks

Hi,
For add fields to material master, check Note 44410 - Integrating cust.-specific fields in matl master (and related notes).
Other note useful to understand the range of customer names in SAP: SAP Note 16466 - Customer name range for SAP objects.
I hope this helps you. If you need something else, let me know.

Eduardo

Maximum characters of field

Hi,
I'm trying to find out what the maximum number of characters per field is.
Here is my case:
We are trying to have several 10k+ fields on one BC/table. We wanted what the maximum number per field is and how many of those field you can have.
On a field level we would use dtype notes which is mapped to the physical type of LONG. However, I found out that you can have at most 1 LONG field per table.
Are there any ways to have several large columns per table?
Thanks, Claus

Claus
Please remember that a single BC can map several tables however you are correct Oracle SGBD can only support one column of type LONG per Table.
If you can manage to restrict to less than 4000 bytes you can stay with VARCHAR type.
You can also consider using attachment to store large amount of information that can be accessed or indexed as well.
You should refer to Metalink3 article entitled "Support LONG field" (Doc ID 602146.1), you should also be aware that with version 8.0 and upward CLOB type is supported.
Good luck
JD

Maximum number of choices in a dropdown field

Is there a maximum number of choices that can be placed in a dropdown field?

Genevieve,
Many thanks for your quick response. The direct answer is a bit over 400 choices. I know, I know. I’d appreciate any better suggestions.
I’m creating a form to be completed by college instructors in which they indicate their contact info, a course name and number, and information re textbook for that course. I need to pass it along as an Excel sheet with each ROW representing a RECORD for one book. See attached.
My original plan was to have the form first present a choice of subject (e.g., ENG, HIST, POLSCI) and then use a logic rule to pull up the relative small subset of courses under that subject. That went south in a hurry when I imagined what the spreadsheet was going to look like since there has to be a column for each subject area from the first question. If you’d like to look at the much smaller dropdown box in the form I’ve just completed for the summer term, it’s at https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=FocAopnkrTWy8CZaWccckw. I could have four dropdown boxes subsetted according to the division choices in the previous question on the form, but I still end up with a spreadsheet that’s a mess.
I’ve considered having the instructor key in the course number and title, but college faculty are even less reliable than their students.
If you’re more interested than you should be you’ll note that the choices in the dropdown box contain course number, title, and number of students in one field. The target Excel sheet has them in separate fields. I’ll handle that by using text to columns in Excel.
I’d appreciate any wisdom you might share. Since the only way to build the drop down is by copying and pasting each choice, you can see why it occurred to me to ask if there’s a max before doing 401 and then it won’t take the last 10!!
Again, many thanks,
Jim 8*)

MAximum number of authorization fields in an authority object

What is the maximum number of authorization object in an authority object ?

An authorization object comprises up to 10 authorization fields.

Maximum Number fields in a secondary index key

Hello All,
We created a secondary index on BSIS which we had to drop as system was hung up. My question is how many fileds SAP recommends in a secondary index key? Ours had 6 keys including mandt.
Thanks

Hi Sameer,
There is no real specification in number of fields for an index as fas as i know. Definitely 6 fields is allowed for a secondary
index.But it really matters with the number of secondary indices. So dont create too many secondary index for a single table.
Try to use other optimization techniques in the programming instead of creating secondary index.

Maximum number of line items in PO/SA....

Hi,
1.
What is the limitation on maximum number of line items in a PO/schedulling agreement/Contract.
2.
Also what is the maximum permissible number of lines in a single accounting document possible.As far as I know there is a limitation of counter 999 meaning if an aaccounting document is generated after GR then it will only allow max 999 lines.
Is there any other way to avoid this.Because in my case I have for several line items in PO and several pricing conditions with separate GL account.Now when I do GR and if a PO has many line items with about 4 to 5 conditions then for each line item there would be minimum 6-7 entries.
How can this best be handled in SAP.
I was being adviced to split the GR but is there any better way or is there any option like summerised acounting document ?
Please suggest as this is most critical for me.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
manOO

Hi,
There is no limitation in PO. But if you want, you can use following user exit;
<b>EXIT_SAPMM06E_012</b>
With regard to Maximum Number of items: There is a limit of (999) line items which can be posted per FI document. This is because the line item number (BSEG-BUZEI) field length is defined as (3) numeric positions, i.e., (999) line items.
The most commonly used workarounds are as follows:
(1) Implement FI summarization (per note 36353).
(2) Cancel the original billing document and split it into smaller documents using different payment terms but actually with the same terms, in case of invoice verification.
This will avoid the (999) line item limit for FI postings. Please also have a look at the note 117708 and 77161.
Bye,
Muralidhara

Document Summarization - Maximum number of items in FI reached

Hi
I'm having a problem regarding document summarization.
When trying to settle pipeline with tranaction MRKO and i'm getting an error "Maximum number of items in FI reached", this is due to the lines on the document being more than 999.
I have in customizing, in transaction OBCY entered that summarzing being done.
Can you please let me know exactly what fields I must summarize by or how to get it to work??
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have tried using business transaction BKPFF,I have listed the below fields
BSEG-MATNR
BSEG-MEINS
BSEG-MENGE
BSEG-WERKS
These fields are now blank in the accounting document. But it is still not summarizing. I have noticed that the text field is populated with different text.
Is it possible to make this blank also? I'm hoping this is the problem.
Or is there a way to tell the system to create several documents rather than one document?
Apprecaite any response
