Increase Max Characters for Fully Qualified SI Names when updated by Events

10 votes

SAM has a max character limitation in the Property Name of the $PROPERTY:SET or $PROPERTY:ADD events which is much smaller than the allowed length of a fully qualified Schedule Instance Property Name. This leads to failed Property updates/creates when trying to embed the property within Schedules instead of making it more of a global resource. This issue is becomes fairly common when using SubSchedules.

We need to expand the max character of the field within the Events to mirror the allowed length of the fully qualified Schedule Instance Name (or at least make it configurable).

I struggle with this as well. I use a lot of Self Service Buttons to release container jobs, as it’s a nice visual to see what’s to run on the Enterprise Manager side. However, I can’t also add properties to the sub schedule of say who released it. I have to structure the processes so that everything is a job build to pipe in those properties during the build instead. I’ve gotten close, but the other hold up is the date. I can’t use ‘Earliest Active’ for example.
