Handling Large Data Size in Blue Prism VBO - JSON String

[Anonymous]

Hi All, We are working on REST API integration with Blue Prism Version 5.0.23 wherein we need to handle 1.5 MB size of big JSON String returns from REST API call as an output. We usually use Data Item(text type) to keep the data before parsing it in Blue Prism. But, we got to know that Data Item cannot handle not beyond 35 KB(~32K-35K characters)  of data. If so,  could you please suggest any alternate in place of Data Item in Blue Prism(code stage) to manage this data size? Regards, Anandan.

So I had this issue today. It will hold more, just not display it. I used the Data Item as the output for a code block and it now is holding 121,196 characters, so the 32K limit is more on the visual editor side and not the raw data holding side. If I look at the Current Values of that Data Item after the run it will be blank since it does not want to render it, but it is still there.
