CP codes and reporting groups have high water-mark limits. You can only create up to a certain number of CP codes and reporting groups within your account. These limits are enforced regardless of whether you use a configuration application, such as Property Manager, or a corresponding API, such as PAPI. The current status of reporting group usage is visible in CP codes and Reporting Groups app and API. You can also view the CP code limits from the configuration tools where you create the CP codes. The status includes your current usage and how many are still available.
To have the limits increased, contact your account representative.
Account limit
Usually, all contracts associated with an account share the account's limit. The total number of objects created in all associated contracts can't exceed the account's limit. For example, you can split 100 CP codes in total among all your contracts tied to an account that has a 100 CP code limit.
Example: Neither of the contracts overrides their account limit. This means that you can add 100 CP codes in total to the contracts under this account. In this case, you are left with 30 CP codes to share between the contracts.
Let's look at the account's and contract's water-mark limits:
Account limit | Contract1 limit | Contract2 limit |
---|---|---|
100 | 100 | 100 |
Let's look at the number of CP codes added to the associated contracts and the account's capacity:
CP codes per contract1 | CP codes per contract2 | Account capacity |
---|---|---|
60 | 10 | 30 |
Account limit override
Note that high water-mark limit may also refer to the maximum number of CP codes or reporting groups allowed for a contract if the contract's limit overrides its account limit. An overridden contract's limit is a separate limit that isn't affected by the account's limit constraint.
Example: One of the contracts overrides its account limit. As a result, this contract's limit is separate from the account's limit and doesn't affect its count. You can add 100 CP codes in total to the contracts that share the account's limit and up to 200 CP codes to the contract that overrides the account's limit. In this case, you are left with 10 CP codes that you can share between the contracts constrained by the account's limit (Contract1 and Contract2), and 50 CP codes that you can add to the overridden contract (Contract3).
Let's look at the account's and contract's water-mark limits:
Account limit | Contract1 limit | Contract2 limit | Contract3 limit |
---|---|---|---|
100 | 100 | 100 | 200 |
Let's look at the number of CP codes added to the associated contracts, account's capacity, and overridden contract's capacity:
CP codes per contract1 | CP codes per contract2 | CP codes per contract3 | Account capacity | Overridden contract capacity |
---|---|---|---|---|
70 | 20 | 150 | 10 | 50 |
