250 Byte query parameter limit?


Mark Ingebretson (58515236) | asked Apr 10 '09, 7:34 a.m.
We updated the parameters in a project dashboard viewlet for Open vs
Closed Work Items. There are many parameters selected, and just a few
excluded in the GUI. Trying to save results in this popup:

The number of parameters selected exceeds the allowable limit:
1737 bytes > 250 bytes. The selected parameters were not updated.

Is there a way around this?

We tried creating a separate shared query which does run OK, but that
can't be used on a project-level dashboard.

Thanks!

This seems to be a restriction due to the way the parameters are stored
in the database. can you please open a work item for this, and assign it
to the Reports component? We will see if there's something we can do to
address the problem.

James, I think this was a dashboard problem in how dashboard parameters were persisted in 1.0. In 2.0 the dashboard will use report queries to persist its parameters. So I think the problem will go away since the reports component does not impose the 250 byte limit on its queries. I am not sure about non-report based viewlets.

Rafik is right. This issue should no longer be a problem in 2.0.

In 1.0, the dashboard was storing all the parameters itself
e.g. Team Areas
"/Jazz Development/Work Items,/Jazz Development/Reports, ..."
After a number of parameter selections, the limit was exceeded

In 2.0, the dashboard is now storing just the Report Query UUID instead of the raw parameters.
