Symptom
Set Bonus Calculation job is failing with an error pointing to "get bg items in chunk"
Environment
Variable Pay
Cause
There is a field that is surpassing the size allowed for its category.
Resolution
The background section in Variable Pay considers different types of fields:
vfld fields, for String type fields
ifld fields, for Integer type fields
ffld fields, float type fields
dfld fields, float type fields
ifld fields can store up to 2^31-1=2147483647. If the number is greater than 2147483647, the exception will happen. If that is the case, the solution is to modify the configuration of that field and move it a ffld field, as it can store very large numbers. Regarding text, vfld can store 4000 bytes.
