Enforcing the Field Length for Entering Advanced Rules

The Advanced Rule template allows you to enter a rule containing several thousand characters. However, the database can store rules that contain only up to 900 characters.

You can revise the business component associated with the Advanced Rule template so that you cannot enter more than 900 characters. This business component is used for populating several lists. Revising the business component enforces the 900 character limit on all these lists. Use Oracle's Web Tools to determine the other lists that are affected.

To enforce the field length

1. In Oracle's Web Tools, open a workspace and then navigate to Object Explorer.

   For more information on using workspace dashboards, see Using Siebel Tools.

2. Click the Business Component in Object Explorer, and locate the Rule Designer Dummy List VBC business component.

   It is located in the Rule Designer project.

3. Locate the field called 0 (zero) and set the Text Length value to 900.
4. Deliver the updated workspace.
