In earlier releases, the default value in the OID Mapping Options combo box on the Define RPS sheet of the Relational Population Service wizard was Map to String.
As the maximum length of JADE entities increased from 30 to 100 in JADE 7.1, JADE now supports two RPS object identifier (oid) length mapping options: Map to String (7.0 format) and Map to String (7.1 format). The 7.0 format size is 16, and the 7.1 format size is 28.
If you want to use the recommended 7.1 format oid string mapping in a new RPS mapping, select the Map to String (7.1 format) option.
If you select the Map to String (7.1 format) option in an existing RPS mapping, it causes a reorganization and the generation of table alter scripts.
You cannot extract a schema from a system with the Map to String (7.1 format) option set and load it into a JADE system that has a different oid mapping. (As the schema load will fail, you must upgrade the system into which you want to load the schema.)
