Username length restriction (uid attribute)?

Does anyone here know if there's an explicit restriction for the length of the "uid" attribute?
I have some engineers here with crazy long names (12+ chars) and I'd like to avoid truncating if at all possible. How's everyone handle this?
Patrick

I've actually created usernames that are huge (think every key on the keyboard), and people can seem to log in properly, but I am more thinking of whether there are other restrictions, maybe OS-specific that might cause problems.
I know there have historically been problems with Samba and Windows, but I'm not using those right now and don't plan to (for the near term, anyway), but if there are any restrictions that I'm not aware of with Solaris 8, 9 or 10, I'd love to hear about them so I can plan.

Problem with the field length restrictions in the WSDL file

Hi all,
We have created a XSD file where we have defined fields and given some restrictions (like minLength, maxLength) for each field. See below one ex of one element "Id":
{code     <xs:simpleType name="Id">
          <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
               <xs:maxLength value="40"/>
          </xs:restriction>
     </xs:simpleType>
{code}
Here we have defined maxLength of this field as 40 chars. Our WSDL uses (refers/import) this XSD file and we ganerates java skeleton using RAD. But at runtime if we set more than 40 chars then also it is accepting. It is not throwing an exception. (In the generated java skeletion these restrictions are not reflected antwhere)
I have one question that, if such restrictions defined in the XSD file works or not? and is it a industry standard to define restriction in the XSD file?
If yes then what i need to do more to make it working?
If not then is there any way to do such validation of the fields that are input to the webservice? Or shall i have to just write my own java class to validate each field?
Regards,
Ravi

Or is it possible that we give length restrictions in the XSD (and import this XSD in WSDL) and generate java skeleton from WSDL then the restrictions defined in XSD are mapped into java classes?
For ex:
<xs:simpleType name="Id">
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
        <xs:maxLength value="40"/>
    </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>so when in generated java skeleton we set value to "Id" element which is more than 40 charsthen it should throw a exception?
Is it possible by default or do we need to write custom validation classes to do validations on such fields?
Has anybody worked in such scenerios?
Or how to do field validations in webservice? Simple question.
Thanks In Advance.

Can we perform restriction on attribute in query designer?

Hi
can we perform restriction on attribute in query designer? My scenario is to restrict on an attribute..Could any one help me out i this issue?
Regards,
Suman

Hi,
Restriction can be done only for navigational attribute.U cannot do restriction for display attirbute.
if it is a display attribute u want to restrict -make it navigational for that infoobject.
Also the attribute must be 'checked on' as navigational in the infoprovider as well on which the query is built.
hope it helps.

Is wpg_docload.download filename length restricted to 78 Characters ?

All,
I am using the wpg_docload.download procedure successfully download files. I have encountered a problem when the FILENAME values on the content-disposition attachment tag exceeds 78 characters. Is this a true and limitation of the procedure or have I done something wrong in the construction of my call to the procedure? I have read the threads concerning the upload procedure and noticed filename length restrictions. Do these apply here also ?
Thanks In Advance,
Tom

Ben,
Thanks for your reply. My code is very generic in its call to the procedure setting the mime type 'application/pdf' or 'application/ms-excel' and setting the attachment filename parameter. I wouldn't think the results SaveAs filename would have any restrictions in size dealing with directories since it is not allowed to specify the destination directory. My filename is pulled from the database. When I had a filename greater than 78 the wpg_docload function does not do anything or does not raise an error. This really restricts how a user can name there files. I dynamically create PDF and store them into the database using the document title as the filename for the download. However, if I have this limitation, I have to restrict how my user title there documents (or figure how to compress into meaningful titles).
I have no problem with the download functionality, just the filename length aspect. Hopefully, this can be changed or I will have to live with this limitation. Any insight helpful.
My site is on a intra-network server.

Length of the attribute changed????

Hi All
we have a infobject(0Material as a charastics) and we have 3 attributes for this infobject.Now we added 1 attribute( ZMat_Pl)and the length of that attribute is 15 and transported to production.No data is there
Now our client requirement changed and he says for newly added attribute ( ZMat_Pl)the length shoulod be 12.(not 15)
Now if i change this in Development and if I transport this if it matters anyhting(I mean is this changes will reflect anywhere).
What should I precheck before I transport.
Regards
Balji

Hi,
As you said if there is no Data for this Attribute,you can change the length and transport it to production..However check in Quality system if everything is fine then release it to Production.
whenver you make changes to existing InfoObejcts/adding InfoObjects check the status of InfoCube ,Update rules,InfoSource,Transfer rules...etc...make sure all are active.if not,Then activate all( here its better to write changes to A TR without collecting them manually) and test with some test data and Transport.

Length restriction scan

Looking for a way to "overcome" the length restriction on the HP DesignJet t1200 MFD when scanning extremely long documents. I believe the device cannot scan a document longer than 104", but I frequently work with documents (roll plans) with lengths exceeding 20 ft. Can anyone help?

Can I remove the length restriction on YouTube videos? YouTube no longer has this restriction.

Can I remove the length restriction on YouTube videos? YouTube no longer has this restriction.

Welcome to the forum.
As John T. points out, PrE was written when YouTube had restrictions of 10 min., and then they added Extended Subscriptions, and then lifted Duration limits.
The instructions in that thread, to which John T. linked, will tell you how to Share/Publish from PrE, to then manually upload via your YouTube/Google account. I would guess that with PrE 12 (probably due in Oct. 2013?), the direct PrE to YouTube uploading will reflect the YouTube specifications - unless YouTube changes the game, after it is written.
I doubt that there will be an update for PrE, just to reflect changes in YouTube, based on the history of the limited PrE updates. IIRC, PrE 3.0 got an update for Windows Vista, which was released, just after PrE 3.0 was, and the 2 updates for PrE 8, that fixed some pretty major Bugs. I do not recall any other PrE updates.
Good luck,
Hunt

Length restriction on literal value for constant defined declaratively

When defining a program data item which is a constant varchar2(120) - I am restricted to a default value of length 60 (about 50 short of requirements). Does any one know why this length restriction is applied. Is there an intention to remove this limitation?

1. In Forms 6i, there is a limit of 255 characters on the FORMS60_PATH. The
forms runtime crashes, if the length becomes 256 characters or more.
This is documented in Note 125007.1 Access Violation in Ora805.dll Caused By
Forms When Forms60_path Longer Than 255 Chars
2. In Forms 9i/10g, the limitation is 511 characters. If FORMS90_PATH contains
512 or more characters, it is ignored. ORACLE_HOME cannot be more than 39 characters long.
3. In Forms 10.1.2, the limit has been increased, that is, FORMS_PATH length has been doubled (1024).
The new limit for ORACLE_HOME is 68 characters.
A workaround
Set ORACLE_PATH

Character Length restrictions in BW

Dear BW Experts,
We are getting data from an external source. We have a field whose length is more than 60. I am unable to bring this field in to BW since BW has the restriction of not more than 60 character length. I cannot split the field since it is like a comment field.
Could you tell me if there are other ways of getting such data in to BW where the length is more than 60 say like 500 or 1000 in length.
Thanks,
Sai

Hi Sai,
As we all know maximum length of info object is 60.The only way to get the data more than 60 is create another info object and add this as attributes to the base info object and make this attributes as display attributes.
check the below blog, you have clear explanation

How to restrict the attribute values for the user in query designer

Hi All,
I have a requirment where certain user would see certain vailes in the query desiner of the attribute.
The requirment is we have planing material which is attribute of material
When X user want to restrict the values for planning material ,where he is able to see all the planning material.But who is not authorized for all the value.
Ex: X user has authorization for see planning material 100,101,102. of material But when he try to restrict the planning material in query designer where is getting all values of planing material.
Or
is there way to blank the restriction help.so that he can't able to see values while restricting
Please some one can advise me on it..

Hi,
Let me sum up:
you have an object ZPLNMAT for the planning material
you have the object 0MATERIAL for material and this object has ZPLNMAT as attribute.
If you can restrict in the query designer, I suppose this attribute is then as navigationnal and also added in the multi-provider.
The object ZPLNMAT is checked as relevant for authorization, and you set up a role with the attached values of ZPLNMAT this user should have access to.
Are you sure the users are restricting on the ZPLNMAT object and not 0MATERIAL, because you should have everything now

Just expand the Dimension --- Nav Attrs are available ?

Drop them under Rows.
But restrict them under Default values ( By clicking on Filter pane ).

How to change "Relation UID" attribute name in logical model?

Beginner question here, sorry if it has been covered already.
In the Logical model in Data Modeler, how do I change an attribute name which is used as a "Relation UID"?
For example, I create two entities each with a Primary UID called "id", then create a 1:1 relationship. Each entity will now have an attribute called "id1" marked as a Relation UID, but I can find no way to change the attribute's name. Is there a way?
Thanks.

Hi GuyM,
you need to check setting in preferences - "Data Modeler>Model>logical" - FK attribute name synchronization - clear the check box if you want to set the name manually.
