hi All,

i encountered such an error:
-************************************************************************************
Reporting Server messages exceeded IBIF_max_messages, report retrieval aborted.

Please, contact your WebFOCUS administrator.
-************************************************************************************

my Speculation is the limitation in the reporting server that pass the local/global variable. is this setting fixed becoz of the product? or varies based on the administrator?

does anyone know what is the storage limitation of this tool? 32K or ...?

i try to hold up as less size in the parameter as possible..

i have a big report to generate.. or any other solution that to generate a compound PDF report with multiple GIF in each page.

for the moment, i first generate the gif and locate it in the physical disk and call the gif at the report template.
but i am building dynamic parameter in case if no data, and to handle such scenario.

any other solution?

many thanks to any feedback.

Lilian.

Read about IBIF_max_messages here:

Note that lines resulting from &ECHO=ON or ALL count toward the limit.
