too big

Temporary fix

  • Old definition files needs to be removed from
install/repository/datatypes/metadata/ and the same file from
installed_data directory:

Eg: remove these files which has the older size definition for
EMailID
./metadata/B2BF/components/b2b_base/components/platform_base/etc
/DataTypes.xml:    <DataType Name="EMailID" Size="150"
Type="NVARCHAR">

./metadata/platform_ifc/components/platform_ifcresources/compone
nts/etc/DataTypes.xml:    <DataType Name="EMailID" Size="150"
Type="NVARCHAR">
