I can not re-open my large TOP Server 5 project when I save it as an XML file. How can I fix this?

In older versions of TOP Server (V 5.13 or prior), there is a limitation on the size of items that can be edited and loaded into TOP Server via XML.  To rectify this issue, the user must make a small change to the advanced_tags.xsd file. The default location of this file is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Software Toolbox\TOP Server 5\schemas\advanced_tags.xsd

This portion of the file:

<!--*******************************Simple Types*******************************-->

<xs:simpleType name="s_name">

<xs:restriction base="xs:string">

<xs:minLength value="0"/>

<xs:maxLength value="256"/>

<xs:whiteSpace value="preserve"/>

</xs:restriction>

</xs:simpleType>




<xs:simpleType name="s_description">

<xs:restriction base="xs:string">

<xs:minLength value="0"/>

<xs:maxLength value="64"/>

Should be changed to:

<!--*******************************Simple Types*******************************-->

<xs:simpleType name="s_name">

<xs:restriction base="xs:string">

<xs:minLength value="0"/>

<xs:maxLength value="256"/>

<xs:whiteSpace value="preserve"/>

</xs:restriction>

</xs:simpleType>




<xs:simpleType name="s_description">

<xs:restriction base="xs:string">

<xs:minLength value="0"/>

<xs:maxLength value="256"/>

<xs:maxLength value="64"/> to <xs:maxLength value="256"/>"

Once this change is made, restart the TOP Server runtime and the large XML files can now be opened as TOP Server projects.
