Restrict the number of KPIs used in creating a report from a Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model

Symptoms

When you create a report from a model that has many key performance indicators (KPIs), the report might not show all the KPIs that are selected from a single table. You might see the following error message:
ORA-01792: maximum number of columns in a table or view is 1000

Causes

This is an Oracle limitation. An attempt was made to create a table or view with more than 1000 columns, or to add more columns to a table or view, which pushes it over the maximum allowable limit of 1000. The unused columns in the table are also counted toward the 1000-column limit.

Resolving the problem

To avoid this issue, plan and create a report with only those KPIs that are needed. Rather than using all the KPIs from a table.
