Max Domain Code Count

Question

I noticed that in my Server Manager Console, I see an error, 'Total number of coded domain values in this service exceeds the MaxDomainCodeCount, hence operation can not be performed.'  I found documentation on this error and it states that you can add the <MaxDomainCodeCount> tag to the cfg file.  I did this and changed the value a bunch of times, be still get the same error message.  I restarted the SOM after each change, but still not getting the desired result.  I set it at 1500000 just to see if that would work and it still didn't.  Does anyone have any experience configuring a service to return a large number of coded values?

I just came across this problem with ArcGIS Server 10.1. The problem was I had a coded domain with 1000+ items on it (Street Name) which was applied to almost all the layers in the map. Removed the values and the error disappeared. I guess one could hide the column from the web service if required?

It took some digging, but here is the location of the configuration files referred to above:
...\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Server10.0\server\user\cfg\maps

I found that I placed the tag in the wrong part of the config file. I was adding it to the end of the file, as its own tag, but it belongs in the properties tag. Once I plaved the tag inside the properties tag and restarted the SOM, it worked.
