Error description

  • When trying to add a condition (SQL QUERY) into a condition
    node in a
    workflow we got the error ?BMXAA4049E ? La valeur pécifiée
    :CLASSIFICATIONID IN ? dépasse la longueur maximale du champ. ?
    see the
    screenshot attached to this PMR.
    When we looked at the field which is concerned ( by clicking
    Alt+F1), we
    found that the field Expression in the condition node is
    equivalent to
    the attribute SHOWWFCONDITION.USERSQL which length is 4000, and
    the
    length of the sql statement we put in the field is much less
    than 3000
    character  !!
    Here is the statement we tried to put in the field
      :CLASSIFICATIONID

    Then client went to the Database Config
    application and try to increase the
    attribute SHOWWFCONDITION.USERSQL from 4000 to 32000 ALN but
    still the same problem.
    
    client environment is the following:
    TAMIT 7.1 AND TSRM 7.1
    7.1.1.4-TIV-MBS-FP0004
    DB2 UDB 9.1.400.359
    Websphere 6.1.0.23
    Windows 2003 Enterprise edition SP2 64 bits
    
    ===============================================================
    
    
    STEP BY STEP by L2 Support used to replicate this behaviour on
    BS 7116.  Reproduced on BS 7114 - 7115 - 7116
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    
    1. Go to the Database Config application and try to increase
    the attribute SHOWWFCONDITION.USERSQL from 4000 to 32000 ALN.
    
    2.Configure the changes with Admin Mode
    
    3. Open workflow designer and bring up a workflow with a
    condition node i.e INC process
    
    5. Try adding the following condition (SQL QUERY) into a
    condition node: HASSLA, you get the following error message
    although SHOWWFCOND.USERSQL have been increased.
    
    
    ERROR:
    BMXAA4049E - The value specified :SLARECORDS.SLANUM
    IN ... exceeds the maximum field length.
    
    A full step by step with screenshots is attached to IssueDB.

    ANALYSIS FROM L2 SUPPORT
    
    I have looked into this and i initially thought when the client
    explained the problem, when making changes to
    SHOWCONDITION.USERSQL, Maximo hasn't made the changes in other
    maxobject to make this work because USERSQL is SAMEASOBJECT as
    EXPBUILDER, so i checked in the backend by running
    
    select * from maxattribute where sameasobject = 'EXPBUILDER' and
    sameasattribute = 'USERSQL';
    
    then i found out the attributename = USERSQL belongs to
    SHOWWFCONDITION - SHOWWFACTION - WFEXPBUILDER - WFASSIGNMENT AND
    OF COURSE EXPBUILDER , and i checked into DB and in front-end ,
    for all of them length are changed to 32000, so note sure why it
    is failing. Looked inot CAST , found nothing relevant to SHOWCON
    DITION.USERSQL, found in IssueDB so many similar error messages
    but not relevant here.
