Your server administrator has limited the number of items you can open simultaneously

Question

HI I have a small validation to check if values are below 170000, Here is what i have tried but it has some small issues. values can range from 0 - 170000

/^(?:[1-9]\d{0,4}|[1-6]\d{3}|170000)$/

Please some one rectify and explain this.

Solution 1

This is usually caused by creating too many RPC connections to Exchange. Do you have alot of notifications, or reminders open, or not dismissed, as these can create an RPC connection each.

You can disable the session limit by changing the following registry key on the server:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem\Disable Session Limit 

Set it to 1 to disable. However, you may want to find out the underlying cause as to why you are using up the connections, rather than disabling it, as too many connections will have a performance impact on your exchange server.

Solution 2

I just faced the same problem and found out that it might be related to Performance problems when you try to access folders in a secondary mailbox in Outlook 2010.

Why not cast it into a number?

What language/tool are you trying to target?

i am using extjs text field validation, my field has masking proerty from extjs, hence i need to test validation using RegExp

+1. This is definitely an UNUSUAL thing to check. I use outlook quite heavily (latest version always) and never had this issue pop up. And know nooone who hat. So, an investigation seems to be in order.

Seems unlikely given that the OP was using Outlook 2007. But anything's possible, I suppose.

I think the OP wants below 170000, not including

@musefan Check the regex he gives, it include 170000

[musefan]

Yeah I see that, but that does not mean that is not one of the problems with the Regex. Of course, this is quite obvious so perhaps that is a good indicator that it is meant to be inclusive, but then again I try not to assume any level of intelligence from peoples questions

hi i am using it with ExtJS, I have few masking also for this field. hence i am using RegExp. valid values needs to be in range 0-170000

[xdazz]

@PunithRaj You still don't need to use regex. Just check the the input is number and the number is in range.

[musefan]

Missed a zero: should be 170000

[Punith Raj]

@xdazz , thanks it was pretty easy, tought i need to use RegExp here.

[musefan]

You are forgetting it also needs to handle the leading 1. Plus of course it needs to handle zeros
