Limit Checking for Data Types

The Object Manager imposes limit checking on data of specific types to make sure that every input, regardless of its source, is within specified limits (see the following table) Sources of inputs include Oracle’s Siebel application, EIM, and connectors. For example, if you do a bulk import using EIM, you must make sure the dates are within the specified range, otherwise the Object Manager returns an SQL error for each out-of-range date.
