Arbitrary Limitation of DeepSessionInnerList Size to 300 Items (.netTiers v2.1.0.471)

I could not figure out why entities at the start of my list would save, but entities after row 30 would not.

I eventually traced it to these lines in the AddRun method in EntityProviderBaseCode.generated.cs file:

if (DeepSessionInnerList.Count > 300)

CancelSession = true;

Why is there an arbitrary limitation on the DeepSessionInnerList size? Why 300?

Is there some sytemic way of turning this off, or is it just a bug?

Well, that's means that it has recursively gone 300 levels, if it hits
that point, there is likely an issue with it having to go that deep
before it saves your entities. If you change it to say, 500, does it
work?

Ah! -- Thank you so much for the prompt and helpful reply Robert.

I have not had this problem on previous projects, so obviously this was something to do with my table structure causing recursion. I looked again at the design. The salient difference from other cases is: I had a table (A) with two child tables (B, and C); table A had an integer PK; both tables B, and C had a 2-part composite PK one element of which was a FK to table A.

I decided to change the table structure so that tables B and C have a simple integer identity PK column, and the columns in tables B and C that originally formed the PK become a unique index.

Bingo! It works. No more deep recursion.

Any idea why my original structure would cause this problem?

I've encountered this problem as well and our table structure in that regard was extremely simple.  A TList of parent entities and the relationship was in fact a 1:1 between the parent and the child and fell over after a few hundred netities. I suspect that it is the calculation of the recursion level or entity relationships  is incorrect. For now, our work-around is to do a DeepSave of no more than 200 entities.
