ATG BCC|One the field not allowing more than 255 characters from BCC Tool

[Saurabh Gupta]

Hi ATG Experts,

I am facing a peculiar problem, where one of the column is defined as VARCHAR2(1024 char) at Database level. But when I am trying to edit the field via BCC it is not allowing me to add more than 255 Characters.

Is it the limitation on BCC? and what will be the path forward to make the field allow entering more tan 255 characters.

Below is the snippet line from my repository file.

<property name="abc" data-type="string" column-name="abc"

Any pointers will be of great help.

Thanks in Advance!

Regards,

Saurabh

By default it would be 255 for text fields in BCC. You would need to cutomize the viewmapping to fix this. This link should help you fix it.

Hi Saurabh,

what version of ATG are you using?
the view mappings have become a bit more complex in ATG 10 than they were in the previous versions...
I would suggest using the data-type as "big string" instead of "string" in your repository definition, this will give you a text area input rather a text box... as anyways writing more than 255 characters in a text box is not user friendly from my previous experiences...

HI VJ,

Thanks for the response, I am using ATG 7 version.
Indeed "big string can be a option which I was thinking, Any other alternative ?
