Rogue Query Limits in B2C Commerce
To maintain the highest level of system performance and reliability, Salesforce B2C Commerce now restricts rogue queries that produce 10 thousand results or more. This restriction applies to queries configured in Business Manager or using the the
customer_search
, andorder_search
APIs (OCAPI Shop API) andget orders
(SCAPI). To mitigate the risk of running a query with too many results, use targeted filters and offset values that limit results when querying data.How: A rogue query generated by the APIs returns an error message. A manual query generated with Business Manager returns a timeout.
Search request offset <value> is greater than offset limit 10000 for tenant '<GroupID>_<Instance'>, type 'order']
To learn more, see Rogue Query Timeouts in the Commerce Cloud B2C Platform
Infocenter Retirement: On June 30, 2023, the Infocenter was retired, and documentation currently hosted on the Infocenter will be published to Salesforce Help, Commerce Cloud Developer Center, and Salesforce B2C Commerce Developer Documentation Resources. For more information, see the release note.
