How to Increase Character Limit on IP Address Attribute in Reporting?

[CharlieFraser]

I'm currently running into an issue of the character limit within a field being limited and truncating data at that 256-character limit.

Specifically, whenever viewing a report of all Inventory, I have many IP Addresses reporting to a single server, and the IP Address attribute cuts out halfway through an entry, so we can't have a full view of all IP's tied to this server.

Is there a way to increase this 256-character limit that's been specified in the FNMS System Reference PDF?

@CharlieFraser - Unfortunately, the limit of 256 characters is built into the FlexNet Manager database schema and cannot be modified without a product change.

We are seeing the 255 character limit an issue too now that IPV6 is being used along with IPV4.  Our IPs are being truncated.

Hi,

Custom properties allow for up to 4000 characters. Maybe that could be a workaround.
