Hello All,

I am reopening the bugzilla for few queries from the CU on the issue.

We understand this is not supported due to the custom code but answers to the below queries will be appreciated

- How to identify which message exceed such limitation ?
- Provide documentation about such DRB message and such limitation
- What would be the best practice to implement in our custom code to avoid such DRB message limitation?
- Is there any possibility to increase such DRB message limitation from 25Mb to 50Mb for instance ? what would be the side-effect of such change ?

Looking for the reply asap.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Niladri,

We're going to need some time to look into this further.

I'm setting up an internal meeting to discuss this on Monday, and will send an update afterwards.

In the meantime, if the customer is agreeable to trying a workaround, I would ask them to use the server affinity Automate setting to see if the problem goes away when they're staying on the same server.
If so, can you ask them to add the following line to one of their custom Automate provisioning methods:

$evm.root['ae_retry_server_affinity'] = true

This setting should be set anywhere they're doing a retry in the state machine. Since there could be many places where retry is set, they could instead set it at the beginning of provisioning for the entire provision.

Let me know if you have any questions. 

Thanks,
Tina
