Hi,

I am getting this below error message when running a report...

Reporting Server messages exceeded IBIF_max_messages, report retrieval aborted.

Please, contact your WebFOCUS administrator.

This is because i am holding a file inbetween my query with some condition for a date range...
that hold has records more than 66K...I can see the excel issue when chnage it to Excel than ALpha used for holding...So i guess Hold file also do have the same limitation...

Is it true...Is there a work around for that...

No hold files do not have a 66k limitiation. You are getting that message because you have exceded your crashed agents limit. You need to have the Admisitrator clear you agents...and then you need to figure out whats your real problem.

I figured the issue..It is the field i am using...I changed the field for doing the count and resolved the issue..The field named called value has 200 charcters in a single trasactions and like that i have 78K transactiosn.for a duration..

Is that will impact the Hold file...so i guess my Hold file may be big enough to crash the server...

Just to have a learning...

That message is not actually directly because your hold file is too large. It is the messages that would appear if you were to "view source" exceed the amount allowed in the Administration console (to conserve Java memory):
This is usually due to:
1. Some format conversion error you may be receiving on every record you are holding/reading from hold file.
2. excessive &ECHOs (especially in a loop)
3. Excessive regular messages (especially in a loop that runs a lot of times) SET MSG=OFF in
that case.

Make your data set smaller, and VIEW SOURCE or turn on the Message Viewer to see what kind of messages you are getting. Fix whatever issue is causing these messages.
