Increasing Metadata Field Sizes in webcenter content (UCM)

Requirement- For one of custom metadata type of memo’s size 2000 and want to increase to 4000

Solution- Log into your content server with administrative privileges or as weblogic and select Admin Server from the Administration menu. Click the button for the instance you will be working with and then select General Configuration from the left hand menu. Add this configuration setting:

MemoFieldSize=4000

property1

increasing size for single metadata
If you just want to increase size for one meta data then you can use this, you can again use config.cfg or go through the admin server to add a configuration setting something like this:

xSingleMetadatafield:maxLength=1024

after doing this , you have to alter the table schema for existing metadata like 

ALTER TABLE 
docmeta 
MODIFY (xdescription varchar2(4000 char));

Then

-> Click on admin applet.
-> Click on Repository Manager.
-> Click on third tab ‘Indexer’tab and click on Collection Rebuild Cycle.
-> Then click on Automatic Update Cycle
-> Close and restart UCM server.

Solution for no connections available for: Discussion Forum oracle.webcenter.collab.share.NotFoundException

Requirement- I am working on webcenter spaces application. I am getting this error in spaces server log.Why i am getting this.

Solution – I don’t want this error in my log.And in my spaces application , i am using custom task flow and using as jar in webcenter spaces application.I am not using discussion service.Why we getting that.

By default if you installed WebCenter Spaces, you should have already 3 other Managed Servers like WC_Collab WC_Utils and WC_Portlets, start WC_Collab (or WC_Collaboration in > 11.1.1.6).By default WebCenter Spaces is expecting a discussion connection since most of the spaces templates require discussion services, but if you created your own Space Template you should not face this error.Also you should be able to configure the WebCenter Spaces with Discussion even if you are not willing it, since it already comes with the WebCenter installation, so solution will be creating the discussion connection in Enterprise manager (EM).

-> Start WC_Collaboration server in weblogic console as depicted in picture below –

wc_colloboration1

-> In Linux navigate under oracle home with following path –
oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/ucm_domain/bin/
Use this command – cd oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/ucm_domain/bin/
And run this command – ./startManagedWebLogic.sh WC_Colloaboration
-> Please hit url i.e. http://ipaddress:8890/owc_discussions , if you see page of community forum like below, that specify ,server for WC_Colloaboration is running

-> Login into http://ipaddress:7001/em as weblogic
-> Expand webcenter and then webcenter spaces and right click, select service configuration.

serviceConfiguration1

-> Select Discussion and Announcement

discussion1

-> Click Add and fill information as below

AddConnection

-> Please checked Active Connection checkbox and restart server.
-> Run OCC application, discussion forum error will not come again.

That is all. we are done
