org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter - SQL Error: 12899, SQLState: 72000
2011-11-08 15:14:20,162 [http-1444-Processor2-2528] ERROR []
org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter - ORA-12899: value too large for column 
"DI_DM"."PKO_NEED_LOCATION_GROUP"."LOCATION_GROUP_ID" (actual: 40, maximum: 32)

This error occurs because the PKO_NEED_PRODUCT_GROUP.PRODUCT_GROUP_ID and PKO_NEED_LOCATION_GROUP.LOCATION_GROUP_ID columns are defined to have a maximum length of 32 characters in the database and the input xml file has <locgrp id="your_long_value"> or <prodgrp id="your_long_value"> parameter that is more than 32 characters long.

The workaround for this issue is to ensure that your product group and location group ids are 32 characters or less.
