Updating the binding settings in web.config file for maxReceivedMessageSize - Sandbox environment (no-VM access)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AK2 112

Hello Community, 

While using one of the services in the Dynamics 365, we are getting the below error:

"The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded."

I understand, we can update the bindings in the web.config file to update the maxReceivedMessageSize. However I am not able to grasp, how this will be achieved in a Sandbox environment in Dynamics 365, which is hosted in the cloud and we do not have access to the VM.

Can you please kindly advise on how it can be achieved.

Thanks, 

Ankit

    You can't change the setup on server, as far as I know. You'll need to send smaller messages, or use a different service.

    Which type of service are you using?

    Thanks Martin! we are using the soap service over http..

    I read something about onebox and powerplatform, which exposes some of the server config (web.config), but I have very little understanding of how it works and is it even possible?

    Do you think, it might be possible to update the web.config in a development environment and then have the build applied to a sandbox environment. I am not sure if the web.config is maintained after the build process..

    Your thoughts?

    Thanks,

    Ankit

    Hi Ankit,

    You can't change any environment related setting on a sandbox; even not by changing something on a development environment. Like Martin suggested, are you able to split into smaller files?

    You can also consider using Data management package REST API - Finance & Operations | Dynamics 365
