While generating offline symbol I am getting the Maximum Number of Child Elements limit (5000) Exceeded error.

Could you please help resolve this? TIA.

    Hi. That will happen when the XML document returned by an API call is very large. You can configure the SOAP client to accommodate this as follows:

    • In the IDE, use Help>Edit Custom VM Options which will open a file called something like idea.exe.vmoptions based on the host OS in an editor.
    • Add the following to the end of that file: -Dorg.apache.cxf.stax.maxChildElements=100000
    • Restart the IDE and try to generate your offline symbol table again. If it fails with the same type of error in idea.log, specifically "Unmarshalling Error: Maximum Number of Child Elements limit (100000) Exceeded", you'll need to increase that value further and try again.

    Please let me know whether that helps or not.

    Resolving as that should address the issue, but if not please feel free to reopen with additional details.
