Removal of "Formula length may be too long" Message from Calculation Reporting

The warning message "The formula length may be too long", which was previously shown for some rules during calculation, has been removed from both the calculation process and the Calculation Statistics report.

This message was being reported excessively in some applications, cluttering the report without providing actionable insight. The warning is no longer necessary, as Essbase automatically fails and displays an error if a rule's formula exceeds the allowed length.

If a formula length error does occur during calculation, the recommendation is to review the rule filters to ensure they are not expanding to include an excessively large number of members. In such cases, consider splitting the rule into smaller rules or implementing calculation segmentation to optimize performance and avoid the formula length error.

Business Benefit: Calculation reports are no longer cluttered with unnecessary warning messages.
