KB42239: MicroStrategy Web generates a very long query string causing an error in Microsoft IIS/ASP.NET: "The length of the query string for this request exceeds the configured maxQueryStringLength value"

MicroStrategy Web generates a very long query string causing an error in Microsoft IIS/ASP.NET: "The length of the query string for this request exceeds the configured maxQueryStringLength value"

SYMPTOM:
Microsoft IIS with ASP.NET 4.0 hosting Strategy Web shows the error "The length of the query string for this request exceeds the configured maxQueryStringLength value" after re-prompting a report having long name containing non-ASCII characters.
The query string will resemble the one shown on the image below:

CAUSE:
During the re-prompt of a report as described above a very long query string is generated. The name of the report is encoded as a string of hex values more than once which causes the query to become abnormally long and exceed the limits for query strings governed by Microsoft IIS maxQueryString and ASP.NET maxQueryStringLength variables.This is a known issue in Strategy 9.4.1 and above.
 
ACTION:
Strategy will continue to investigate and post updates as soon as they are available.
 
WORKAROUND:
The workaround for this issue is to change the governing rules for Microsoft IIS and ASP.NET.
