I am upgrading my Octopus Deploy 2.6 server to Octopus Deploy 3.0. After running the preview tool in Octopus Import Wizard, I see an error that appears to be caused by a SQL Server schema or ORM rules that are too restrictive.
An unexpected error occurred when processing document with source ID 'ServerTasks-438': An attempt was made to store 113 characters in the ServerTask.Description column, which only allows 100 characters.
Here’s the value causing the problem, redacted:
Deploy ****************************************************** release 1.0.14 to *********************************
I won’t post the full preview log here because it contains sensitive information, but I have no idea how to resolve this issue, and how to prevent it from happening again if and when I successfully migrate. As it stands, my Octopus Deploy setup is rendered useless until I can fix this issue.
PS: It seems to me that a 100 character limit on the data stored in this field is far too small. Any combination of length project names, versions, and environment names will easily send the data over the limit.
