OBI 11g Error : exceeds an entry's the maximum size soft limit 256

Hi All,
I am getting a Warning in EM as below:
Adding property Desc with value "+report description+". exceeds an entry's the maximum size soft limit 256. There are 333 bytes in this property for item /shared/folder/_portal/dashboardname
It happens only when, if we provide a long description text (>256 bytes) for a report in the 'Description' box while saving the report.
Do you have any ideas why it is happening and what can be done to remove this warning.
An parameter needs to be changed..??
Obi version 11.1.1.5.0
box : Unix

We tried that...
But most of the dashboards/reports have been migrated from 10g and the reports are being built by Users not Dev team, adding their own description to report.
I need to know ... if there is any parameter which can fix that...

    I didn't think Reader had a size limit?  The file is only a couple of hundred MB.
    Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this error?

    Hi,
    Under certain conditions, an Open SQL statement with range tables can be reformulated into a FOR ALL ENTRIES statement:
        DESCRIBE TABLE range_tab LINES lines.
        IF lines EQ 0.
          [SELECT for blank range_tab]
        ELSE.
          SELECT .. FOR ALL ENTRIES IN range_tab ..
          WHERE .. f EQ range_tab-LOW ...
          ENDSELECT.
        ENDF.
    Since FOR ALL ENTRIES statements are automatically converted in accordance with the database restrictions, this solution is always met by means of a choice if the following requirements are fulfilled:
    1. The statement operates on transparent tables, on database views or on a projection view on a transparent table.
    2. The requirement on the range table is not negated. Moreover, the range table only contains entries with range_tab-SIGN = 'I'
    and only one value ever occurs in the field range_tab OPTION.
    This value is then used as an operator with operand range_tab-LOW or range_tab-HIGH.In the above example, case 'EQ range_tab-LOW' was the typical case.
    3. Duplicates are removed from the result by FOR ALL ENTRIES.This must not falsify the desired result, that is, the previous Open SQL statement can be written as SELECT DISTINCT.
    For the reformulation, if the range table is empty it must be handled in a different way:with FOR ALL ENTRIES, all the records would be selected here while this applies for the original query only if the WHERE clause consisted of the 'f IN range_tab' condition.
    FOR ALL ENTRIES should also be used if the Open SQL statement contains several range tables.Then (probably) the most extensive of the range tables which fill the second condition is chosen as a FOR ALL ENTRIES table.
    OR
    What you could do in your code is,
    prior to querying;
    since your select options parameter is ultimately an internal range table,
    1. split the select-option values into a group of say 3000 based on your limit,
    2. run your query against each chunck of 3000 parameters,
    3. then put together the results of each chunk.
    For further reading, you might want to have a look at the Note# 13607 as the first suggestion is what I read from the note.

  • ALBPM 6.0 : The maximum size for file uploads has been exceeded.

    Hi,
    I use AquaLogic BPM Entreprise server to deploy my Process. When I try to publish a process on my server I get the following error:
    An unexpected error ocurred.
    The error's technical description is:
    "javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: null"
    Possible causes are:
    The maximum size for file uploads has been exceeded.
    If you are trying to publish an exported project you should publish it using the remote project option.
    If you are trying to upload the participant's photo you should choose a smaller one.
    An internal error has ocurred, please contact support attaching this page's source code.
    Has someone resolve it?
    Thank's.

    Hi,
    Sure you've figured this out by now, but when you get the "Maximum size for file uploads" error during publish consider:
    1. if your export project file is over 10mb, use "Remote Project" (instead of "Exported Project") as the publication source. That way when you select the remote project, you will point to ".fpr" directory of the project you are trying to publish.
    Most times your project is not on a network drive that the server has access to. If this is the case, upload the .exp file to the machine where the Process Administrator is running, then expand it in any directory (just unzip the file). Then, from the Process Administrator, use the option to publish a Remote Project by entering the path to the .fpr directory you just created when unzipping the project.
    2. Check to see if you have cataloged any jars and marked them as non-versionable. Most of the times the project size is big just because of the external jar files. So as a best practice, when you do a project export select the option "include only-versionable jars", that will get reduce the project size considerably (usually to Kb's). Of course you have to manually copy the Jar files to your Ext folder.

  • HT1338 Hi, Is there a way to increase the maximum size of a download? I'm trying to download Adobe premiere pro (1GB) and I'm getting an error message that says my maximum download is 10 MG

    Hi, Is there a way to increase the maximum size of a download? I'm trying to download Adobe premiere pro (1GB) and I'm getting an error message that says my maximum download is 10 MG

    That's between you and your internet service provider.  By the way, you posted to the 10.3 forum.  10.3 can't run on your MacBook Pro. Don't forget the following facts:
    b= bit
    B = Byte
    8 bits in a byte
    A typical DSL connection has 1 Mbps speed or 128 kBps speed.
    At that speed
    1 minute gives you 7.5 MB
    10 minutes gives you 75 MB
    100 minutes gives you 750 MB
    A typical cable connection can be 5 times faster although some are 30 times faster.
    A typical fiber connection is 15 times faster and some are 50 times faster.
    Ask what your speed is rated at.

    Hi Rawa,
    You can use EAC or EMS to set the MaxSendSize. The default value of MaxSendSize is 10 MB.
    If you use EAC, here is the steps:
    Logon to EAC -> Mail flow -> Receive connectors -> settings-> type the Maximum send message size you want to set
    If you use EMS, please use the cmdlet Rajith provided.

    Hi Deep,
    you need to check your Elastic IP limits within the AWS console and how to release them if they are used:

  • How to restrict the maximum size of a java.awt.ScrollPane

    Dear all,
    I would like to implement a scroll pane which is resizable, but not to a size exceeding the maximum size of the java.awt.Canvas that it contains.
    I've sort of managed to do this by writing a subclass of java.awt.ScrollPane which implements java.awt.event.ComponentListener and has a componentResized method that checks whether the ScrollPane's viewport width (height) exceeds the content's preferred size, and if so, resizes the pane appropriately (see code below).
    It seems to me, however, that there ought to be a simpler way to achieve this.
    One slightly weird thing is that when the downsizing of the pane happens, the content can once be moved to the left by sliding the horizontal scrollbar, but not by clicking on the arrows. This causes one column of gray pixels to disappear and the rightmost column of the content to appear; subsequent actions on the scrollbar does not have any further effect. Likewise, the vertical scrollbar can also be moved up once.
    Also, I would like a java.awt.Frame containing such a restrictedly resizable scrollpane, such that the Frame cannot be resized by the user such that its inside is larger than the maximum size of the scrollpane. The difficulty I encountered with that is that setSize on a Frame appears to set the size of the window including the decorations provided by the window manager (fvwm2, if that matters), and I haven't been able to find anything similar to getViewportSize, which would let me find out the size of the area inside the Frame which is available for the scrollpane which the frame contains.
    Thanks in advance for hints and advice.
    Here's the code of the componentResized method:
      public void componentResized(java.awt.event.ComponentEvent e)
        java.awt.Dimension contentSize = this.content.getPreferredSize();
        this.content.setSize(contentSize);
        java.awt.Dimension viewportSize = getViewportSize();
        System.err.println("MaxSizeScrollPane: contentSize = " + contentSize);
        System.err.println("MaxSizeScrollPane: viewportSize = " + viewportSize);
        int dx = Math.max(0, (int) (viewportSize.getWidth() - contentSize.getWidth()));
        int dy = Math.max(0, (int) (viewportSize.getHeight() - contentSize.getHeight()));
        System.err.println("MaxSizeScrollPane: dx = " + dx + ", dy = " + dy);
        if ((dx > 0) || (dy > 0))
          java.awt.Dimension currentSize = getSize();
          System.err.println("MaxSizeScrollPane: currentSize = " + currentSize);
          setSize(new java.awt.Dimension(((int) currentSize.getWidth()) - dx, ((int) currentSize.getHeight()) - dy));
        System.err.println();
      }Best regards, Jan

  • What is the maximum size for mailbox per user (Exchange 2007)

    Hello,
    I'd like to know:
    What is the maximum size per mailbox, and is it not recommended to exceed 3 GB and about the items how many is the maximum per folder (inbox, .. )
    I've Exchange 2007 SP2, Outlook 2007 and 2010.
    Thank you.

    Hi
    There is no size limit on mailboxes up to the maximum size of your database.  I normally recommend 2GB mailbox limits if you have some form of archiving in place.  If you have no archiving in place then the limit should be set at the amount of
    data people need to keep - it is not a good idea for people to store mail in PST files because there is a limit on their mailbox.
    See this article for item count recommendations:

    Also you need to upgrade your Exchange 2007 server to SP3 ... SP2 has been out of support for nearly 3 years already:

  • How can i increase the maximum size of a text column in Access

    hello,
    i am inserting data in the MS-Access database through my servlet and am getting the exception whenever the length of the text data is more than 255 characters as in Access the maximum size for character data column is 255 can anyone tell me if there is any way by which i can increase the maximum limit of the column size in Access ,i.e. to make it more than 255.

    A text field in Access has a maximum size of 255 characters. If you want to store text information in Access larger than 255, you need to use the memo rather than text data type. There are special considerations for using an Access memo data type and accessing it through JDBC. Specifically, I believe it must be accessed as a binary object (BLOB), rather than text when using the JDBC-ODBC bridge. There are lots of discussions within these forums regarding how to manage, and the issues with using the Access memo data type.
    Good luck!

  • How Do You Set the Maximum Size of a JFrame?

    Can someone show me a quick example? The JFrame can be empty, I just want to know how to set it's maximum size. I tried using setMaximumSize() and it doesn't work for some reason but setMinimumSize() works fine.
    I tried it using a BoxLayout and even using null as a layout manager and can't get it to work. I heard that the other layout managers don't allow you to set the maximum size of a JFrame so that is why I tried it with the layouts that I did.
    I tried the following code (imported the necessary classes), but it does not work...
    public class MyFrame extends JFrame
        public MyFrame()
            super("TestFrame");
            setLayout( new BoxLayout(getContentPane(), BoxLayout.X_AXIS)  );       
            setMaximumSize( new Dimension(400,200));
            setSize(300,150);
            setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            setVisible( true );                
    }// end class

    @OP:
    When you repost a topic, please always provide a link to the previous post so people can check what suggestions were already offered (and didn't solve the problem).
    Better still, give a short summary of the advice you have already tried.
    I suggested setBackground(...) so you can see whether your MyFrame is actually occupying the entire real estate of the window. Looks as if trying it out (which I would have done for you if I'd been at home, where my JDK is) would have been too much effort for you.
    I'm pretty much a novice in Swing, but I can tell you this: setLayout controls the layout of components added to the JFrame, not the layout of the frame with respect to its parent container.
