Error while saving an OBIEE report with 100+ columns

Question

Hi All - We have an OBIEE report with 100+ columns. We built the report(simple tabular report with no totals), saved it and it runs fine as well. However, if am doing any editing to it an try saving it i am facing following error. OBIEE version 12.1.1.2 There was a problem retrieving the response data: Request Entity Too Large (413).

Your request encountered an error!

Could anyone suggest how this can be resolved. Pls note the report is running fine i have tried solutions like making a copy of it and re applying the xml. Also some may ask why are we building report with so many columns, it's a requirement Thanks, Rahul
