** What platform is the ARS server running on? You mention ardb.cfg so is it Windows? The Oracle client used by ARS needs to have NLS_LANG set. On Windows it is a registry key – exactly which one depends on the type of Oracle client installed. On Unix this can be done via the arsystem script or an environment variable. I suspect you may find a registry key where NLS_LANG is set to lang_country.WE8MSWIN1252 on the ARS server system. Database server NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = BYTE NLS_CHARACTERSET = language_country.UTF8 (or AL32UTF8) Database CLIENT NLS_LANG = language_country.UTF8 (or AL32UTF8) Mark From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe DeSouza Sent: 14 May 2008 12:16 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Value too large for the meta table FIELD_DISPROP table!!! ** It is a Unicode setup, and I had set the environment variable NLS_LANG on the database server to American_America.UTF8 Does this have to be setup in the ardbc.cfg file too? If so what is the paramter name?

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.

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..
