Maximum characters allowed in parameter text of a BIP report

Content

Hi Team,

 

I want to understand what is the maximum limit of characters to pass as a text parameter of a BIP report?

 

Scenario: Based on output from another report we have to run another BIP report having input parameter from one of the column of the previous report.

So would like to understand the maximum length allowed to pass as parameter.

 

Thanks

Karthik

Hi Karthik,

The limit is 4000 characters ( and I am referring to normal English characters here).

The attached image would clarify.

Hope this helps.

In case you feel the question is answered properly request you to mark the thread appropriately as it would help other community members.

Kind Regards

Hi Ashish,

Looks like there is limitation in the number of parameters i.e. 1000 parameters only allowed. But I couldnt find limit to the number of characters.

e.g. I am able to pass 1000 person_id as comma seperated values in the parameter which has 15999 characters.

Hi @Karthik_ks : I have tried and there is a limit of 4000 characters . But do you find any solution to tackle this problem . Is there any ideal way ?

Character Limits for Bursting Email Parameters
Email Subject (parameter4): Typically supports up to 256 characters.

Email Body (parameter5): Can handle up to 4,000 characters, but this may depend on the database's handling of CLOB data types.
