Limitation for class names length
Hi, everyone,
In our application we faced limitation of 56 symbols for class names length.
We have existing class with a length of 55 symbols and we want to create its inheritor to override some rules.
But we couldnt do that even with a length of 1 for new class because of limitation mentioned above.
Is there any way to bypass this limitation?

No, I mean class created manually. Cant create subclass with name "M" for a class with name Sb-FW-SMEMonitoring-Work-LACard-ReceiptOfAgreementFunds as overall length of new class Sb-FW-SMEMonitoring-Work-LACard-ReceiptOfAgreementFunds-M is more than 56 symbols.
Its Pega 7.2.1
Are you talking about classes generated by a Pega wizard for connectors? That is where I've seen the limit of 56 observed due to prefixes being added. I thought 64 was the general classname length limit.
This is old but interesting and relevant. It suggests unchecking classname inheritance.

Finally, this provides the best practice approach to avoiding these issues (not easily done if using wizard and creating classes from WSDL, for example).
