parm1 and parm2 fields belong to 'sysevent' table and their default max length is 4000 (they're both String type). You can check them in the Dictionary, see below a screen shot:

Can you give a bit more details? To what event parameter are you referring to?


Hi,


There is no performance issue. We have custom development which we are copying task activities to another task activity with using events. When an additional comment is entered an event will be trigger. We set parm1 field to the sys_id of the incident. We set parm2 the comment of the incident. However our comment field is custom html field and can include base64 embedded images, so that size can be long. That is the reason why I want to know what is the maximum size to pass to parm1 and parm2 fields of the events. If we need can we increase the maximum size of these fields?

Thank you for the answer, that is what I need. One more question. I want to increase max length of "parm1" field. However there are another tables like sysevet0000, sysevent0001 ... Are these tables archive of sysevent table. If I change max length of parm1 field should I also change it on those tables? (sysevent0000, sysevent0001, sysevent0002 ...)



Thanks in Advance,
