FileNet P8 Content Engine, Version 5.0.+   Database:  DB2         

The maximum DB2 row size limit might result in a failed Content Engine upgrade

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.
