I've been unable to get any Memo fields to work in DMF in R3. When I try to get staging data for an entity that has a Memo field, the DMF service crashes with a .net runtime exception, providing zero helpful information. The same entity works fine without the Memo field.
There are demo files from Microsoft for standard entities that have Memo field included, suggesting it might work. When completing mapping with a memo field, it completes successfully, setting up an entity attribute for the field defined as field type 'VarString', and a field size of -1. It seems that there is logic trying to account for the memo field.
In the DMF service configuration file, there is a parameter called "Nvarcharmaxcolumnlength", which again seems to imply that this is somehow supported.
I've tried different source file formats, different encodings, SQL traces, playing with the above parameter, changing the entity attribute to String, and am running out of ideas. Nothing on issue search that seems to match up with this issue.
So, does anyone know conclusively whether this is supported? Has anyone actually gotten it to work? If so, are there any tricks I'm missing?
Thanks!
