There is a metadata repository limit on filename length of 60 characters. If you upload an image that has a long image name, you might see the following error in the SAS Web Report Studio log:

  Root Cause:   java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid Name:
  'UniquePage1_AGM_2007_03_4_MitarbeiterRessourcenUniquePage1_gplot.png'
  contains more than 60 characters.
  Names of this length are not supported.

This limit is not imposed by SAS Web Report Studio so it is not explicitly stated in the SAS Web Report Studio documentation.

If you upload an image with a file name that is less than the 60 character maximum, the problem might still occur when you do a manual refresh save in SAS Web Report Studio. As part of this manual refresh save, a cache of html, image, and PDF files are stored in the repository. To guarantee unique lookup of the referenced files, the saved code prefixes images and other elements with a "UniquePage_X" tag. There is a need to have unique names across sections. In some cases, the prefix addition can cause the image file name to exceed the maximum filename length.
