We have a program that creates evidence locks via the API ServerCommandServiceClient.MarkedDataCreate. Our program has been working for years without a problem but I just made a change to make one lock per sequence of video during a range of time (this can be up to several days) to preserve video instead of one lock for the entire range of time - potentially creating a lot more.
This code seems to work… but when I created a large number - about 300 - of these (our camera was flaky and created lots of holes in the video), something went wrong. We no longer were able to use the API to get a list of MarkedData for ANY camera (using MarkedDataSearch). It was fixed only when we deleted the MarkedData via the Smart Client.
I am still looking into whether I can reproduce this problem. For the moment, I am trying to find out whether there are any predefined limits on the number we can create and if so, is there a way to change these limits.
I just noticed that I miscategorized this post. It should be under protocol rather than component integration (I didn’t realize our code was using a class generated from a WSDL). I don’t see a way to edit the post.
I think I found out why I was having problems. My service was configured to receive a maximum of 65535 bytes. Somewhere between 30 and 60 MarkedData, it exceeded this limit.
Note: I would still like to know if there is a predefined limit (of course there are always resource-related limits - such as memory - but I assume these would be much larger). I am assuming our application won’t create more than 1000 per camera (and only then under exceptional circumstances - the camera I used was in an awful state and connecting/disconnecting every minute or so).
