Updating Advertising and scan response Packet dynamically using ble_advdata_set

I am using SDK 14.01 and ble_app_beacon example in that, I want to send updated sensor data in advertising. Using ble_advdata_set() I am able to send the updated data in advertising based on interval. but due to more data length, I have to used scan response(2nd argument of the function) to send more data. But In that, I am unable to send it.
