2140.0. "XDS and CDS attribute value length" by BALZAC::ANAKOK () Mon Jan 27 1997 05:33


	Hello,

	A customer has written an XDS application that I am trying to 		
	port on Digital UNIX.

	I have the following problem :

	Attribute values are added to a CDS object with ds_modify_entry call. 	
	These are character strings. A string with 288 or less characters 
	can be added without problem. With a longer string, the XDS call 
	returns an error (E_unavailable).

	Has someone experienced this kind of problem. Is this a documented
	limitation (of XDS or CDS), or a configuration parameter, or have I 
	missed something ?

	Here is the environment :

	Digital UNIX V3.2d
	Digital DCE V1.3b
	Digital X.500 V3.0

	Thanks for your help

	Mehmet ANAKOK, 
	SI France, Antony.

	I don't know of any such restriction in CDS nor XDS. Do you have a small test program to illustrate this? Otherwise, you should probably open an IPMT case. --Roger

	Just to update this note, Mehmet mailed me a test program to reproduce the problem. We have one bug in the XDS-CDS mapping code where the attribute value buffer is way too small. After fixing this, it uncovered another bug where for longer attribute values, one random character got added to the beginning of the value. Someone from X.500 engineering is looking into this since this latter problem seems to happen before getting to the XDS-CDS mapping code. --Roger
