Joe,
Is this a Unicode ARS installation and which platform is it on? Does the view contain accented characters? If so it may be that the NLS_LANG is not set correctly - for Unicode systems it should end .AL32UTF8 Mark Walters The opinions, statements, and/or suggested courses of action expressed in this E-mail do not necessarily reflect those of BMC Software, Inc.

From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe DeSouza Sent: 13 May 2008 21:45 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Value too large for the meta table FIELD_DISPROP table!!! ** I got this strange error when the SLM install script was trying to import one of the views. This is strange considering that a value being inserted into a meta data table should not have technically overshot the column length.. Failure during SQL operation to the database: ORA-12899: value too large for column "ARADMIN701"."FIELD_DISPPROP"."PROPSHORT" (actual: 270, maximum: 255) (ARERR 552) It looks like the data that needs to be written to this column is 15 characters too large.. Has anyone else seen a problem like this and if so how did you'll get around it? I'm not quite excited by the thought of having to alter a meta data table although that seems to be the only logical thing to do given this situation..
