Web Service

[ccatania]

Version EE 7.5.2

I'm trying to load through web services a xml page into 1 field defined as a varchar. This only works when the rec read limit is set to 400 records, anything greater fails-'field size too small', longvarchar fails as well. Does anyone know if this a default setting that can be changed or it is a limitation of DS.
I also tried using the APT_MAX_TRANSPORT_BLOCK_SIZE, which had the same results.

Thanks,

Charlie

But if it is complaining about the field size, and given that xml documents can sometimes be very long, why dont you pump up the field length specified for the varchar field where you are getting the web service input and see?

Hi Sud,

Did that, no matter what varchar size-999999-is put in no more than 400 records can be loaded w/o and error.

Ok, where are you specifying the record read limit by the way?

Wow, Charlie, see that's something specific to your job and you can't expect us to know. Now explain things in more detail. First of all, where is that parameter used? and how exactly does it control the length of the xml. Next and more importantly, at which stage (meaning, is it the web services stage or a transformer stage or where) are you getting the field length error. Also, why don't you copy and paste the exact error here.

Thanks for your help I got it to work.

I added the APT_MAX_TRANSPORT_BLOCK_SIZE to the job properties set it to 1 mb and did not specify any field length.
