Increase the characters of a string in DataFlux Expression Language

Crt — Thu, 09 Dec 2021 09:05:27 GMT

Hello everyone!

I am trying to assign many characters to a string in DataFlux using Expression Language.

What I have done is:

string(100000) myStr

If I increase the number of characters from 100.000 to 1.000.000, it does not work even though the expression is valid.

Is there any way to assign many characters (greater than 100.000) to a string using Expression Language?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

I think the EEL language limits strings to 64KB by default.
There might be a way to get around this limitation by adding this line in app.cfg:

EXPRESS_MAX_STRING_LENGTH = 1000000

Can you try this?

Hi! Thank you very much for your response.

I added your code line in app.cfg of both DataFlux Data Management Studio and DataFlux Data Management Server and it didn't change anything. Should I do something more in app.cfg or in DataFlux?
