RE: InRoads DTM File name - maximum number of characters?

MichaelGilham — Fri, 13 Mar 2015 03:47:55 GMT

Hi Kevin,

I copied/pasted the fill PW path (including file name) from PW and pasted it into Notepad++.
Even with the shortened name (that now does not crash InRoads) there are 262 characters. Without the shortened name, it was 283.

I guess this basically means we have been LUCKY until now and that, possibly, we are "flirty with disaster".
It surprises me that we have not bumped it before.

In this particular situation, the first part of the path is: pw:\\xxxpwis01.corp.hatchglobal.com:PW_xxx_DATASOURCE\Documents\...
The end of it is: ...\2134 - FG Type 8 - Sewage Treatment Plant - Bottom.dtm
When in ProjectWise, how is that character limit calculated? When considering the 256 character limit, where is the start/end?

Thanks.

In the past there was a 256 character limit for the full path (all the way down to the datasource name). Is your path name including the file name nearing 256?
