Preparing Financial Services Application Tables for Upgrade

Upgrades: Release 6.x only.

Environments: All environments.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform the Upgrade.

DESC_TEXT is a column in two tables, S_CONDITION and S_PROD_BNFT. To broaden platform support, this column is reduced in length from 250 to 200 characters during the upgrade from Release 6.x to Release 7.7.

Before the upgrade, examine these two tables for records that contain more than 200 characters. Manually reduce the size of these records to 200 characters or less.
