<property name="body" type="com.atlassian.confluence.core.persistence.hibernate.CustomClobType" update="true" insert="true" column="BODY" length="1073741824" /> Configuring Database Character EncodingRefer to Configuring Database Character Encoding. DB2 Dialect class change (if upgrading from Confluence version 2.2 or older)If you are using DB2, and are upgrading Confluence from version 2.2 or older, the 'hibernate.dialect' property in the confluence.cfg.xml file needs to be changed to 'com.atlassian.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect' like so:
<property name="hibernate.dialect">com.atlassian.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect</property> Encoding Test ProblemsAt the time of writing this, there is an open bug with the encoding test when using DB2. Details are here: CONF-8588. Transaction Isolation Level of Read UncommittedDue to CONF-9323, DB2 requires a transaction isolation level of "read uncommitted" to avoid occasional deadlocks. The more concurrent usage a Confluence instance experiences, the higher the frequency of deadlocks with a transaction isolation level higher than "read uncommitted". Set the following property in the confluence.cfg.xml file. <property name="hibernate.connection.isolation">1</property> Incompatible Data Types on z/OS 8There are problems when running DB2 on z/OS 8 and 9. This platform is not officially supported but there is an unsupported workaround here. RELATED TOPICS |
