Schema validation - max path limit

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We are implementing schema validation and needs to place the xsd's in a specific directory on the server (according to help.sap.com).

The path includes namespace, GUID, message type-Id etc.

Our server (Windows 2003) has a limit of 260 characters in a path and we are exceeding this limit in our setup.

Any one aware of any workarround? Or solution - except from renaming all repository objects please

Best regards

Peter

Hi,

Try to mount/create relative path at server level then use it . It may fit into your requirement .

Thanks but I have talked to the basis guys and they think this might result in orther errors.

Any one aware of another workaround? Perhaps a general parameter setting on the PI server to move the placement of the validation schemas?

Thanks

Hi Peter,

Please check the link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa365247#maxpath

To specify an extended-length path, use the "
?\" prefix. For example, "
?\D:\very long path".

I think this may help you.

Thanks,

Thanks for the input.

Our Basis guys are not happy about this method - they mention some risk of side effects.

Any other ideas?

Thanks again
