A report fails with "'Request-URI Too Large" in Jazz Reporting Service

Troubleshooting


Problem

Attempts to run a report in IBM Jazz Reporting Service (JRS) using the IBM Lifecycle Query Engine (LQE) as a data source fails with error: 'Request-URI Too Large - The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server

Symptom

The query fails with the following error:




Request-URI Too Large
The requested URL'S length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.
IBM_HTTP_Server at www.YourServerNameHere Port 443
Loading, Please wait....

Cause

The query is hitting a parameter set limit in the WAS server.

Diagnosing The Problem

When you are using a WebSphere Application Server (WAS) you check the value of the PostSizeLimit parameter in your WAS configuration?

  1. Open the WebSphere plug-in configuration file (plugin-cfg.xml) in the WAS_HOME/config/cells directory with a text editor.

  2. Locate the ServerCluster stanza with the following name: WebSphere_Portal__Cluster

  3. Associated with this entry, find the parameter PostSizeLimit.


Where you are using IBM HTTP Server (IHS) or Apache check the LimitRequestLine setting.

Resolving The Problem

To resolve the issue:

  • For WAS release 8
    Set PostSizeLimit="30000000"

  • For previous versions of WAS
    See if the PostSizeLimit="-1" for unlimited.

  • For IHS or Apache:
    Increase the Apache parameter LimitRequestLine setting in httpd.conf for the IHS or Apache instance.
