TheGU

When I run transaction command, some transaction may be more than 500 events but splunk split it to a set of 500 events and show message below :

Show most relevant lines (Exceeds 500 limit)

How to expand this limitation?

You have to modify the xml file to set a higher limit.

Using maxevents=1000 do nothing, as the maxevents is already at 1000 by default.
The limitation is on the display, not on the search.

I am also interetesed ... the maxevents above 500 are ignored ... so there must be a setting somewhere that overrules it with max 500

add the "maxevents=" to your transaction command.

example

 index=main * | transaction blah maxevents=1000 maxspan=15s
