Limit Settings

Limit Settings configure the way large amounts of data are read from the database and displayed in catalogs. The settings can be made independently for business object types and technical object types.

• Use user-dependent setting

  When this check box is selected, user-specific limit settings can be set and used. Otherwise, common limit settings from Global Settings are used.

• No limit for catalogs

  Selecting this check box turns off all limit settings, effectively causing all data to be read at once. For catalogs containing many objects, this may considerably slow down opening the catalog or even cause the OutOfMemory error.

• Initial load

  Number of objects which are read to memory when the catalog is opened or refreshed.
  Initial load must be set more than 50 and less than 1000.

• Load increment

  Number of objects which are read to memory when the end of the catalog list has been reached by scrolling.
  Load increment must be set more than 50 and less than Load increment.

• Maximum load

  Maximum number of objects in one catalog which can be present in memory at one time. If this maximum has been reached, some objects are removed from memory before next incremental reading is done.
  Maximum load must be set more than the sum of Initial load+Load increment and less than 3000.

Default values for limit settings are:

• Initial load=100
• Load increment=100
• Maximum load=500

Limit settings common for all users can be found under 'Global Settings'.
