Adjusting Request Size Limits - CF Standard

I'm trying to increase the Maximum number of POST request parameters field in the CF Administrator console above 100 to accomodate a legacy app that can have over 100 form fields.  The developer edition will let me set any value I want.  The standard edition gives me an error: 

when I try to increase the POST request parameters above 100.  

 

I suspect CF Administrator is displaying the wrong error message and this is not related to Maximum Pool Size.  That aside is there anyway to increase the POST limit beyond 100 with Standard Edition?  If not, will upgrading our license to Enterprise edition remove this limit?

Correct answer Charlie Arehart

No, the message IS about the pool size, and NOT AT ALL related to the post size you're wanting to change. You can make that as large as you want.

 

Look for the pool size referred to (it's one OF DOZENS of other settings on that page. This pool size relates to the runAsync feature added to cf2018.)

 

You'll see THAT has a value greater than 10, and cf Standard limits that to 10. Solve that, then make your desired change. It's not likely a feature your code uses. 

 

Either way, no, you do NOT need to pay $7500 to raise the post parameters limit. 🙂

Hi, I just wanted to report that I had the same issue. (CF2023 Standard). I was just trying to change the timeout setting on that page and when doing so, I got the same error as above.  After changing the Cloud Services Thread Pool Configuration the Maximum Pool Size from 50 to 10 I was able to save the changes without error.  It's odd because the 50 setting is the default after a fresh install.  I guess after applying the Standard license that setting is out of range and needs to be manually dropped to 10.

Good point, @isites-85260 . Please report a bug.

 

If you don't have time, then just copy-paste the text from your above post. It'll take you just a few minutes, but will help a lot of fellow developers.

Wow! Yes, just slightly above in the Cloud Services Thread Pool Configuration the Maximum Pool Size was set to 50 for some reason.  Changing that to 10 did the trick, and allowed me to increase the post request parameters.

 

Thank you so much.
