5.0.44.598: Aug 22 2014

New

Server: Now, the maximum comment size can be manually configured.

To configure this parameter, add a new tag in the server's 'db.conf' file, named 'CommentLimit' in order to set the value for the maximum allowed comment length (in characters).

Example:

      <DbConfig>
        ...
        <CommentLimit>2000</CommentLimit>
        ...
     </DbConfig>

However, this configuration will require the sysadmin to manually alter the database tables to match this new value (see column 'scomment' on table 'object'). The comment length limit is set to 1000 characters by default.

Even so, importing data (cm sync or cm fast-import) will only store the first 1000 characters of incoming comments, no matter which value is contained in the 'CommentLimit' tag.

Warning: Please note that replication operations may fail if servers have different comment length limits. Please make sure that all involved servers have their 'CommentLimit' tag set to the same value in the 'db.conf' file and their repository databases have been modified accordingly.
