:InformationModelException at Spotfire.Dxp.Data:
Failed to get data: Maximum field size (10 MBytes) exceeded (HRESULT: 80131500)
=============

Cause:
You may get this error while using very large field sizes. Spotfire has a default field size in the configuration set to 10MB.

Issue/Introduction

Error: "Failed to get data: Maximum field size (10 MBytes) exceeded" seen while opening the analysis with Information link.

Resolution

It is possible to update the default field size in the configuration. We do not have a recommendation on what is the best value as using too large data may have an impact on performance. The  server performance testing is done based on the default value. The value is configured using the parameter information-services.dat.max-field-size. The value is found in the configuration.information-services.dat.max-field-size .

You can update this in the configuration file by exporting. Example: config export-config, modify the file and then import using config import-config

Review the following link for exporting and importing the configuration.
