Infopath Error: The amount of data that was returned by a data connection has exceeded - SharePoint2010/SharePoint2013

I have designed one InfoPath form which is trying to fetch number of items via data connection from SharePoint list which consist of more than 10,000 items. When I designed the form 6-7 months before then it was working fine without any issues but over the period of time, we have modified the InfoPath form with certain number of fields and this is a starting point of error – when published the form without any issues but the form is not opening in browser mode functionality and throwing the following exception.

Error message#1:
The amount of data that was returned by a data connection has exceeded the maximum limit that was configured by the server administrator. Form elements, such as drop-down lists, may be blank.

Error message#2:
Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available.



It took little time to figured out the resolution for this issue let me share the resolution in detail and Yes, step by step so that there will be no confusion.

Resolution:
1.   Open the central administration
2.   General Application Settings
3.   InfoPath Form Services
4.   Configure InfoPath Form Services
5.   Data Connection Response Size
6.   By default it is 1500 kilobytes -> Here is little bit testing you need to do with respect to your form. Like try to change it to 2000 and check the results.


If you have any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know. I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, Thank you.

InfoPath form library forms cannot be filled out in a Web browser

Today I was monitoring the SP servers along with some regular sanity checks that need to be carried out on daily basis. While doing that, I noticed one error based on this InfoPath rendering in the Health check analyzer!  But let me tell guys InfoPath is perfectly working in our environment without any issues and nobody has reported any incident also then why this error is showing in the health analyzer? – you must be thinking the same but no need to worry about as this is not a big one which will take lot of your time, some minor checks and you are done.

Error message:
InfoPath Forms Services forms cannot be filled out in a Web browser because no State Service connection is configured.

If this is your new configuration then you need to follow this existing official documentation from Microsoft which is pretty awesome!

In our case, we have already done this configuration long time back and as I said, it’s working fine. The error message is little bit misleading one as its asking you to check the “state service” service application to be online or not but that’s not the case. We have already configured this service application long time back so where exactly the issue is and why it’s throwing the error?

Let me tell you the trick which we sometimes ignored – Look out the error in the HAL rule – see the below:


You will notice that it’s also giving you the URL of the web application for whom its failing and name of the servers also.

In our case, we have recently created a new web application in the farm and its been reflected in that! What it means? Pretty simple – the ‘state service’ service application is not configured for the same.

So what we need to do now for this re-association? Here are the details:

Resolution:
1.   Open the central Administration
2.   Application management
3.   Service applications
4.   Configure service application associations
5.   Select the web application for whim it’s failing
6.   Click on custom
7.   It will open the service application options
8.   Select the state service check box and click OK

Once you are done with the above steps then come back to health analyzer list, click on the same rule and hit “Reanalyze now” – that’s it, you are done.

That error won’t be there! Happy SharePoint once again…
