error importing with WCCOAascii

[xavi.aran]

Hi! i'm trying to importing a type structure to WinCC OA from a .dpl
I always use this methode for simplify work.
Always works correcty, but this time i get these errors:

WCCILdata (0), 2013.05.30 12:15:22.235, IMPL, SEVERE, 54, Unexpected state, Type: , 401, DpType:::allocateNewElId firstFreeElId overflow

WCCOAascii_log:WCCOAascii (1), 2013.05.30 12:15:22.266, SYS, INFO, 2, Manager Stop

it's seems that it's a overflow in the index for a next type..how can i solve that?
Thanks!

Now, i remember that the maxim number of points inside the DP is 16.000. Is possible I may be exceeding this limit??

Hello,

the maxmimum number of dp-elements for a datapoint-type is 32767. If the limit is exceeded you get an error and the datapoint-type will not be created/modified.
Please check the structure for the datapoint-type you want to create or modify with the ASCII-import.

If you need further information please get in contact with the WinCC OA support.

Hi, thanks for the information, is possible that my datapoint-type has more than 32767 dp-elements.
Is there a possibliity to change this limit? Is very important for the project i'm working...

[leoknipp]

Hello,

there is no possibility to increase the limit of 32767 elements for a datapoint-type.
A datapoint-type with such a high number of dp-elements is very uncommon. Please check if it is possible to split the information in several dp-types.

Does that limitation apply to both 32 and 64-bit systems? and what is the error message that is shown when this limit is exceeded?

[xavi.aran]

Hi Jonathan, in my firts post you can see the errors generated. You can see the ElementId overlow.
Now i have to restructure all my information for this problem....a hard work...in the 'rail world' is common this type of structures.
The top structure is a Station and all elements of a station must be inside of the structure...is dificult to split the information in other structures.

[leoknipp]

Hello,

the limitation applies to 32 and 64bit-systems.
The log-message can be seen at the first posting in this thread: allocateNewElId firstFreeElId overflow.

Thanks Leopold, I assume the error message is the same if the limitation is exceeded in the PARA rather than via an ASCII import? I am just a little surprised about this, I wasn't aware that there was a limitation to the number of elements in a DP-Type.

[xavi.aran]

I was surprise too...is a very BIG limitation for this SCADA........i can't understand this.....
I want to thing this is a only a numerical limitation...and for the next versions or fixes, this can be easily increase.
Thanks,
