'Unable to upload, exceeded limit at line 1000' error when adding external data

By default, Cognos 10 allows external data files with up to 20,000 rows and a total file size of up to 2.5M, but some packages will not allow external data files with more than 1000 rows.
Cause

The ability to add external data is new in Cognos 10, and the limits on the rows and file size are controlled by two new governors in Framework Manager, Maximum external data row count and Maximum external data file size (KB). If a package has been imported from Cognos 8, it was published without these governors and will limit external data to only 1000 rows. Likewise, if the governor settings have been changed and the package republished, the limits will not be the default.

Resolving the problem

The issue can be corrected by opening the affected package in Framework Manager and updating the governor settings.

Step:

- Open the model for the package in Cognos 10 Framework Manager
- Update/confirm the governor settings are as desired,
- Re-publish the package.
