There is a risk that upgrades to version 5.0.0 of Content Engine will fail because of the
DB2 row size limitation because of new properties that were added
for document version objects and custom objects in versions 3.5.2,
4.0.1, 4.5.0, and 4.5.1.
Symptoms
The
upgrade of Content Engine to
version 5.0.0 fails with an error message indicating that the addition
of a property to a DB2 table failed.
Causes
The
addition of document version and custom object properties in versions
3.5.2, 4.0.1, 4.5.1, and 4.5.1 of Content Engine caused the row size of
the underlying DB2 database to reach or get close to the maximum (32
KB) size. Thus, the addition of another property during the attempted
upgrade of Content Engine causes the DB2 row size to exceed the maximum.
Resolving the problem
Back
up the database and reduce the amount of metadata in the DB2 schema
FileNet P8 objects before attempting the Content Engine upgrade again. If you need
assistance in reducing the amount of metadata, contact IBM Support.
