Orgchart booklet: Extend objects limit

[Former Member]

Hello,

One of our business requirements is to be able to export the entire organization structure (Org units only) to pdf using the chartbook feature.

With 3.0SP3, this would not cause any issue.

As we are upgrading to 4.1SP2, we noticed that this would not be possible anymore.

By default, the application is limited to 1000 objects in normal mode (quick mode disabled).  It is possible to extend this limit using SettingsRessource parameter:

Location: SettingsResources

File name: CB_FULL_MAX_NODES

Content : The max number of objects that can be generated with chartbook (in regular/non-quick mode)

Use this setting carefully as exporting to many object can overload the server memory.

Exactly ... you can increase this amount using this setting but of course the risk is that too high a number causes a performance issue. That would be dependent on the value you choose and the hardware resources you have.

I don't believe Nakisa recommends changing this for this reason but of course, if you wish to try it then you are free to do so.

Also, it might be of interest to know that there is a file called:

  ../SettingsResources/CB_Levels.txt

Which specifies what levels are in the drop down for CB creation ... any numeric will work, as will "ALL" in a comma separated list.

Example Content

:1,:2,:3,:5,:ALL

I was aware of than one too, using ALL to export entire structure.  Out total number of objects was about 50 above the max.

Testing shows no performance issue.

The info was given by Nakisa support ☺
