Error when applying license file. Formatter error containing words "Maximum string content length quota (8192) has been exceeded".
Issue/Introduction:
A formatter error is received when trying to apply a license file in the Control Compliance Suite console.
Cause:
Setting in ApplicationsBinding.config file limits string length to 8192.
Resolution:
To over come this problem perform the following steps:
1- Edit the ApplicationsBinding.config file from the root of the <install path>\Symantec\CCS\Reporting and Analytics\Application server directory
2- For netTcpBinding Change the maxStringContentLength to a higher value . For e.g maxStringContentLength="81920"
The section to edit looks like the following:
<netTcpBinding>
<binding name="common_NetTcpBinding" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
transactionFlow="false" transferMode="Buffered" transactionProtocol="OleTransactions"
hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard" listenBacklog="10"
maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxBufferSize="67108864" maxConnections="10"
maxReceivedMessageSize="67108864" portSharingEnabled="false">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
</binding>
3- Save the file and restart the Symantec Application Server service.
You should now be able to apply the license file.
There is also a standalone utility with CCS 11 for installing Licenses which does not have the Content Length limitation.
To use this utility:
- Navigate to the CCS Installation directory/Reporting and Analytics/Directory Support Services
- Right click and choose Run as Administrator on the Symantec.CSM.LicensingUtil.exe file.
- In the Add Licenses window click Add Licenses.
- Browse to and select the .slf file.
Repeat this step if there are multiple .slf files to be added. - Click Done
