PegaFS-Data-Party-Shortname is limited to 20 positions
SA-81715
Summary
In the Pega Foundation for Financial Services (PFFS) Framework, the PegaFS-Data-Party-Shortname property is limited to 20 positions. As a result, the GET relation fails. This occurs when the Shortname is populated with the ShortCommercialName from Siebel which can be up to 35 positions long.
Error Messages
Not Applicable
Steps to Reproduce
Create a DateTransform to map a field of 35 positions to PegaFS-Data-Party-Shortname.
Root Cause
The ShortName property length was changed between versions.
Resolution
Here's the explanation for the reported behavior:
The restriction is added in accordance with the corresponding database table definition. Since this is the short name, the restriction is enforced to not more than 20 characters.
If this restriction is removed, it causes incorrect results or data being saved to the database because it does not comply with the table definition.
Since the implementation must be overridden with respect to the system of record, the property must be updated at the user end with the restriction set to that definition which complies with the user's table.
