If the LineNumber value on a BOM is larger than 32,727, an error occurs when executing the GetBOM service.

This issue is addressed with Windchill REST Services 1.3 and higher, using version 3 of the ProdMgmt domain. The Relative URL property value configured for the MPMLink OData Connector should not include a version identifier. Instead, append the version identifier to the Service Root Relative URL entry for the ProdMgmt domain.
For example, enter /servlet/odata for the Relative URL, and under OData Connector Connection Settings, update the Service Root Relative URL value for the ProdMgmt domain to /v3/ProdMgmt. For more information, see Configuring the MPMLink OData Connector.
For previous versions of the ProdMgmt domain, the OData PartUse entity restricts the LineNumber attribute to be a 16 bit signed integer.
