"attribute=_xmeta_created_by_user exceeds annotatedLength" message when executing Analyzer Job

Question & Answer


Question

Why do I get a length error with an Information Analyzer (IA) job?

This error might include:
  • com.ibm.iis.isf.sandbox.DataAccessException: com.ibm.iis.xmeta.client.exception.data.DataLengthConstraintViolationException
  • A data length constraint was violated on attribute "_xmeta_created_by_user".
  • The maximum allowed length is 64, but the length of the value is XX.
  • valueLength=XX for attribute=_xmeta_created_by_user exceeds annotatedLength=64
In particular, this error occurs only with scheduled tasks and IA jobs.
Normal jobs, clients, and consoles do not give this error.
