The maximum length of the "Title" field should be the same in MongoDB as it is in the Manage database

The maximum size the the Active Directory attribute "title" is 125 characters.  The maximum size of the field Title in Manage in 100 characters yet the maximum size the the title in MAS/MongoDB is only 30 characters.  They should all be 125 characters.

    Hi

    Thank you for your feedback.

    MongoDB, as a NoSQL database, does not enforce field length definitions. However, there is a process in place to synchronize the length of all user fields from the manage database to MongoDB (for API validation).

    This synchronization is automated during the EAM to MAS migration process, but the changes can also be applied manually if needed.


    Lets assume you want to synchronize LDAP – Manage – MAS.

    1. Go to the Manage DB and update the title field length to the target value (e.g. 125 aligned with your AD)

    2. Go to Manage DB: update maxvars set varvalue = '1' where varname = 'METAUPG'

    3. Go to maxinst pod and re-run syncmetadata.sh /opt/IBM/SMP/maximo/tools/maximo/syncmetadata.sh It will sync your manage db with MAS

    This will automatically sync the 2 application's field length

    The defaults are the same as Manage. If you have a customization in your Manage DB, we update it for your automatically for you during EAM to Manage migration.


    I hope this information is useful
