Error description

  • The legacy PR Diff API returns its response as a plain String,
    which imposes a 16 KB size limit. This limitation causes issues
    when the response exceeds the threshold.
    
    When the API returns large Diff DDL content exceeding 16 KB, it
    results in a 500 Internal Server Error, which in turn causes
    failures in the UI. To resolve this, we introduced a new version
    of the API (on the same endpoint) that returns the response in
    JSON format, allowing support for larger payloads.
    
    
    Affected Users: DevOps administrators and users working on the
    pull request workflow in DevOps Experience.
    you need Prerequisite UMS 1.2.0.10 in order for this fix to be
    applied.
