Maximum binary output size limit reached. Error: WIS 30271

Hello All,

I am getting below error for one of the report in Production rarely. Report is schedule for Webi format and PDF format. its givging error for PDF format only. Which Parameter do i need to modify for below message.

Maximum binary output size limit reached. Contact your BusinessObjects administrator. (Error: ERR_WIS_30271).

I have gone through the error pdf its mentioned if we increase the value performance will have an issue. Please let me know what changes do i need to make.

Even i cant copy the pdf from web instance its giving the same error.

Thanks a lot!!!

We had a similar problem in XIR2 when teh repot output was in CSV dor very big reports (upto 1000 pages). The business Objects consultant asked us to increase the java memory heap size in Tomcat server and it worked.
IYou can try doing the same if this happens when the reports are big.

Does this change applies to scheduling of report and saving in PDF format too to unmanagaed disk.

Did you actually make the change from the error document? I assume it says to increase the “Maximum Binary File Size” (Default value=50 MBytes; Maximum value = 65535 MBytes)? Have you tried this?

The warning it gives makes sense, because do you really want a PDF of such a big size? Is the report well constructed and does it serve a real purpose? Cause a lot of times, reports of that size are almost data dumps, and the users are merely interested in totals etc, which could fit on a page or two.

All I’m saying is, you can change the Maximum Binary File Size or the Java Memory Heap, but is that not just getting rid of the symptom, without addressing the cause?

Can anyone let me know where i can find Maximum Binary File Size in Xi 3.1 for WEBi Servers

I know in XIR2, the allocation is per instance of the report. But someone told me that it has been changed in XI3.1 to be per WebI Server. Can someone please confirm that?

Thanks!

Does anyone has any idea on this? We are in the process of rolling out XI3.1. If such change is true, it could be a show-stopper for us. If someone knows anything about this, please let me know.

I have a case opened with Tech Support, but they couldn’t give me a straight answer.

Any update on this? Is it a per report instance or per WEBI server instance setting?

In XIr3.1, this is a CMC setting that a BusObj Administrator can change. Go to
CMC > Servers > [YourSIA].WebIntelligenceProcessingServer > ‘Properties’ tab > Binary Stream Maximum Size (MB):
The default value is 50MB.
Since this is a WebI server instance setting, you should test the overall WebIntelligence system performance.
Increasing the value to 200MB should be working fine under normal conditions, but you still should be testing thoroughly, as your threshold might need to be different.

Before making such changes, I agree with Berend’s (“Orange”) point: is such a large PDF file REALLY necessary?
Thresholds are built for a purpose: to protect the system.
If there is valid business reason, then by all means, go ahead and adjust the parameters as needed to solve the problem.
However, I would use this opportunity to look into the report itself, and see if this is the best way to present/publish the information.

Hi, facing same error (ERR_WIS_30271) while saving DeksI report to PDF. Do I need to increase binary stream in WEBI proc? or there is anything else for DeskI. Please advice.
