Dear Listers,

I obeserved a weired bug. Hope someone can help me.

1. A character field "Inquery Statement", with length limit to 4000, is
created in my form.

2. I then implemented an Active Link to check the size of the field. If
the size exceeds 4000, it displays an error message: "The size is limited
to 4000. Please save the Inquery as an attachment".

3. It works from time to time! Not consistently!
When the field size exceeds 4000, it displays an error message, either
a) the desired "The size is limited to 4000. Please save the Inquery as
an attachment".
b) or the Remedy internal message: "ARERR[9272] Value does not fall
within the limits specified for the field
(4000): Inquery Statement"

Does anyone have any idea? Sounds to me that I miss something, such as
specifying exactly that I need my Active Link error message, not the
default Remedy error message.

Any help is very much appreaciated!


Kevin

Hey,

What does the AL fire on? It sounds like Modify/Submit. Do you have any other ALs that perform a Commit Changes?
There is a way to supress all the Remedy generated messages (by modifying the ar.conf/ar.cfg file), but I wouldn't recommend it since it would supress all messages...

Stephen,

You are right that the ALs fire on Modify/Submit.

There are some other ALs that execute on the same Modify/Submit.

Now that you mentioned, I am guessing that the problem is caused by "a
few Active Links fire on the same Modify condition and have the same
execution order, So, Remedy randomly picks which one to execute first,
and this explains why I have inconsistency here".

I will try to put the ALs in a reasonable order and see if the
inconsistency goes away.

Thank you very much!


Kevin

Actually when they have the same Execution Order, Remedy then fires them in order of Last Changed Time timestamp. Either way, it's good practice to spread them out. hopefully that fixes it.
