Config name length restriction?

Sam S Jul 21, 2008 11:49 AM

I received a file that I could not add to the vault, I would receive an error stating "Could not add documents! Cause: Could not access the item in the database"

Through trial and error I was finally able to add the file to the vault by changing the configuration name to Default. The original config name is shown below and is incredibly long. I have no idea why the file creator created such a long config name.

Can anyone confirm that pdmwe sets a character limitation for configs?

Config Name:

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here, but it looks like there is a 255 character limit set in the SQL database for that field (ConfigurationName in the dbo.DocumentConfiguration table). I'm fairly new to PDMWE, but if you have a test environemnt, it wouldn't hurt to try increasing this value. That is assuming you have more than one of these files and it is absolutely necessary.

  255 characters is a Windows XP file name limit. Vista increases it to 260.

There was a bug in PDMWE 2007 that limited you to an even smaller length. Sorry, I do not remember the SP that fixed this.
