Hi Jaakko,
Thanks for the info, I was guessing/hoping that uninstalling using Installation Manager would do the trick but it’s great to know that is the case, thankfully I’ve not see the issue again (yet!).
Thanks again.
Jonathan

Comment on Connections 3.0.1 Fix Pack 1 installation issue by Jaakko

I’ve had this happen several times now in different environments when installing Connections 3.0.1 Fix Pack 1 and/or one of the Cumulative Refreshes that have been released after fp1. It may not just be News, any other app can fail updating too.

For what it’s worth, rolling back the (partially failed) 3.0.1 fix pack 1 install with IBM Installation Manager, deleting the ejbdeploy configuration directory and reinstalling the update has always worked for me. No need to revert to backups or a snapshot unless you want to. And if this problem occurs with interim fixes that are installed with Connections Update Installer, you can of course just try again with the ejbdeploy configuration wiped.

Have you found a way to run a synchronisation just for one user/profile? The script “populate_from_dn_file.sh” will fail if a profile already exists for the user, so I am looking for a procedure to run a script that will run to just update/synch on changed field values between ldap and the connections profile. Any ideas?

Comment on Error using wsadmin to check-out Lotus Connections configuration by Alan Head

Cheers, useful.
Strange it only seems to affect checking out the Files config, same error doesn’t happen for Profiles (for example)

Cheers Jon, needed to pull out information on communities using various fetch commands and your blog was useful to verify the commands in the Connections wiki.

Hi Sebastian,
Thanks for the response. It’s an interesting workaround but changing this could cause problems when upgrading/migrating the data in the future (it’s also supposed to contain the 3-letter ISO standard country codes).
So, expanding on your suggestion if I needed to store longer country codes/names I’d rather create a custom field in Profiles.

Regards,

Jonathan

P.S. Your English is very good!

Step 1, In db2 server, peopledb Database, rigth clik on 2 tables, EMPLOYEE and COUNTRY, and clic Alter, and change value PROF_ISO_COUNTRY_CODE, (3) by 20 or similar, this option allow that a country configured in ldap have more characters,

Step 2, in db2 server, Wizard path, go to the win folder, in my case C:\IBM\Wizards\TDIPopulation\TDISOL\win, go to validate_dbrepos_fields.properties file, and change the value (3) in field countryCode= to same value in step 1,

AFTER this change, the population finish successfully

error caused because number of characters in the user country, is more than 3

another thing that can we do, change the country of all users to maximun 3 characters(some agent or similar)
