Object name length/width limitation

[Former Member]

We have a DB2 table and one of the column's width is 31. [say PST_NET_NEG_RPLCMT_COST_SRC_AMT]

While insert that table into designer, the column name width/legth is truncted to 30. [say PST_NET_NEG_RPLCMT_COST_SRC_AM]

Version: Designer 12.1.0.882

could you export the universe and run some webi reports?

any errors?

While parse the objects within universe designer, it failed to parse.

Parse Error: Parse Failed: Invalid Definition(UNV0023)

I didn't export the universe.

We have DB2 universes with longer columns and they work fine. What version of BusinessObjects are you using?

You can always update the object definition. The table structure is not that important. Just add the extra (missing) characters into the object (or join) definition and you should be fine.
