What is the maximum size of EWM Category path


Arun K Sriramaiah (3.2k23677) | asked May 30, 7:11 a.m.

The category path is stored in the category table and the column size is defined as varchar( (250). So, that is the limit.

If you try to create a category with a path longer than 250, you'll get the following message: Validation errors for item: type = Category, itemId = [UUID _C6PQMBLPEe-YJe7Oafr7wA] Value of attribute "name" is 451 bytes, which is greater than the allowed encoded length of 250 bytes. The value of attribute "internalCategoryId" is 464 bytes, which is greater than the allowed encoded length of 250 bytes
